I booked The Mulburn Inn by googling Bed & Breakfast places in and around Franconia. The place…read morelooked charming so I decided to give it a try. To my delight the place was absolutely decadent! The Inn was built in 1909 by Thomas Edison. Yes that Thomas Edison, the one who invented the lightbulb. The Inn has so much character it's pure eye candy for those who appreciate the fine craftsmanship of classic furniture, decor and interior design. We stayed in the Thomas Jefferson room, the biggest room with a king size bed and infamously know to have housed Joe DiMaggio and Marylyn Monroe back in the day. The owners were super accommodating and Dave cooked us one of the best breakfasts I've had in a long time. Highly recommended!

Each version of owner and chef have been great, but the current combo is the best yet! The staff is the star of the show! Every single person we've ever interacted with at the Inn has been kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. They have been conversational when they perceive we want to chat and efficient when we need that approach. The rooms are beautiful and well appointed - maintaining some previous era charm and elegance while having all the modern conveniences you'd expect and want. Some accept a cot for a child and others are dog friendly. The breakfast (included with a stay but available for purchase) is a multi-course affair that is hearty and delicious but doesn't leave us feeling bloated like many American breakfasts do. The dinner menu is small but offers plenty of variety for well-executed meals with an emphasis on seasonal and local ingredients. It's the only place in the area that we eat at multiple nights, which as amateur foodies is a huge compliment!

I booked our stay at Riverwalk somewhat nervously. I've been in the area before, but had never…read moreheard of this hotel. The booking website seemed to hail from the AOL era, making me wonder if the grounds would be just as antiquated. But upon arriving, we were pleasantly surprised. From the front, the resort looks fresh and impressively sized. Service from check-in to check-out was seamless, and when we had minor complications with the air-conditioning in our space, they brought a maintenance person to help in good time. Our vineyard-facing unit offered beautiful views, and I cannot understate how helpful it was to have a fully outfitted kitchen in our unit. I made full use of the blender to make morning smoothies, we found cutting boards and spoons aplenty for small snacks, and it was just nice to have an ice machine right in our giant fridge. I could see this being a major convenience for traveling families. To call it a resort might be a bit of a stretch. In my mind, a resort is an all-in-one site, including full options for dining, recreation, and entertainment. True, there are two restaurants, a small winery, a decent arcade, and a decent pool on site. But there were no breakfast options, and the pool was frequently closed while we were there. There's a so-called playspace in the lower level that was somewhat sadly outfitted with a few coloring materials and a pretty glitchy interactive projection that kids were done with after trying for a few seconds. That said, there were curtained off areas of live construction that promise more fun things to come. If the posters in the elevator are to believed, there will be a gondola leading from the hotel to a mountaintop, which should make for a fun wintertime stay.

This will now be our go to lodging for the area!

There was a man attending the dining room and that was good and very clean. The front desk person who said she was the manager was unprofessional and rude. Check your mattresses.

With the passing of my Dad (he and Mom also had always wanted to stay here but could never afford it), I said charge it!! and booked an overnight stay. So glad I did.

The history, attention to detail, preservation, detail Oriented caring staff all led to an amazing stay I will never forget.

This is a somewhat difficult place to rate. I was here for a couple full days in May with near…read morestellar weather so views are astoundingly great with mountains and sunsets featuring. The outside when weather is this nice is really good, ample porch seating and exterior reception areas. The food imo is ok. The first meal was a "simple" BLT with really soft and kind of fatty bacon. The soda was also flat. Summer staff return and gearing for the season might lend to this. The exterior temps were hot one day and the lobbies and hallways were just plain hot, too. My room AC ran nonstop and failed to break 74 in the room. The suite was nice if not outdated a bit with carpeted floors that likely met the style of an old hotel but felt old. The Cave bar is a must. Omni is showing signs of reparation on this hotel which shows the grandeur of its day, great molding and architectural accents, but also fighting termite damage, actual termites and bees, one of us was stung in the dining room, inside. The staff is seasonal, with that some younger folks learning the system and very friendly while others, like bellhops seeming disinterested. It's wrapped as looking luxury but with practical gaps in execution.

I stayed in 2 quaint rooms - each with a fireplace and jetted tub...views... Breath taking... plenty of hot water and the coziest accommodations: thoughtful and well appointed. The public spaces offer many nooks and crannies to tuck away and be comfortable: outside on the extended wrap around porch with rocking chairs with cushions to enjoy the views... a fire pit... Adirondack chairs on the lawn to take in the views... an interior double sided fireplace with comfortable sitting areas to enjoy. The FOOD... The best meals that I have ever had. I didn't take photos... I should have. The beet salad was beautiful - the presentation was almost too pretty to eat. Stacked, topped with a candied pear and surrounded by flowers, nuts and a sauce. The chick was perfection. The best cocktails that I have had... Just go. You won't be disappointed.

We tried to climb multiple times and were told to come back. When we did come back at the right time (two separate times) they said the time changed. They don't let you reserve in advance (which would alleviate this problem) but most of all the staff was super rude and went out their way to be unhelpful (Katelyn from st albans - most of all). They could easily have helped but they did not and walked away with us standing there with upset kids (for the third time) For a cost and supposed level of service-- this is shocking. Been a big advocate of this resort my whole life but the atmosphere has sadly changed.

Going up or down, even though it was foggy, and spitting, we were able to enjoy some of the view of the season! The gondola ride was still pretty amazing, being up there. It was fun!
