We arrived to a note with some basic info and informing us that they upgraded our room for free to the Connecticut room which was a very nice surprise as the upgraded room had a Jacuzzi tub. There were instructions to call the owner to let them know what time we wanted to eat breakfast, we accidentally asked for 10 minutes before they start serving and they did accommodate us. The Inn is very cute and cozy, we made use of some of the available brain teaser puzzles that evening. We were able to adjust the temperature of the room easily. The bed was very comfortable and had plenty of warm blankets. The hot water did take a little while to heat up, we started to worry that the water heater was broken but it if did heat up eventually. In the morning we went out to the breakfast area and the inn keeper told us to pick a table to sit, not exactly warm and welcoming but to the point. The breakfast was decent, the fresh fruit was very nice. The inn keepers didn't seem to be the most outgoing/friendly types but nice enough when we got to talking. There is a little driveway to the Inn which was convenient for dropping off all our stuff before parking in the little lot the next driveway up. Overall we had a great stay, and would recommend the Wilderness Inn for local stays, especially with Waterville Valley and Cannon Mountain so close by.

I seldom write reviews (especially negative ones), but this 1-star is truly deserved. I implore…read moreanyone considering a stay at the Wilderness Inn to reconsider. To put it simply: Business owners that blatantly disregard human life and hide behind their own "policies" as an excuse to pocket hard-earned money from their clientele, do not deserve anyone's patronage. If you are interested in the details of what happened, please feel free to read below: I was greatly looking forward to my stay for the upcoming weekend when I made my booking on Sunday, 7/9; however, devastating storms and unprecedented flash floods swept through most of New England the following day. Upon seeing the damage in my area and on the news, I immediately called the owners at the Wilderness Inn and expressed my concerns about traveling from New York + their location being so close to the Pemigewasset River. They assured me they had no damage, but I reiterated my growing unease given more bad weather was predicted for the weekend I was staying (with the worst of it Friday and Sunday, the days that I would be traveling 5-6 hours or more by car). They insisted everything would be fine, even though there is no way to guarantee safety in such dangerous and unpredictable circumstances like flash flooding. As I was getting ready to start my drive to NH on the morning of Friday, 7/14, my navigation app alerted me of flash flooding along multiple routes. I called the owners and kindly asked if they would be willing to work with me and offer a refund (I even offered to pay a cancellation fee), or allow me the opportunity to reschedule my stay for another weekend since it was a life-threatening weather event and even local authorities were advising against all non-essential travel. Unfortunately, I was met with a cold and callous response. Instead of showing any empathy toward my predicament, they dismissed my concerns and summarily denied my request for a refund or rebooking. They failed to grasp the severity of the weather conditions and continued to insist that it was safe to travel (it was not). After our call, I formally notified them via email that I would not be traveling due to the storms and gave them one last opportunity to reconsider their cancellation policy. Sadly, they went ahead and charged my credit card for the full amount, but not before belaboring that there was "no emergency" in NH (there was). In a time when compassion and understanding should prevail, the owners of the Wilderness Inn showed clear negligence, an alarming lack of responsibility and professionalism, and a shameful disregard for the safety and well-being of their guests. It is frustrating to witness such an abysmal level of customer service. I sincerely hope the owners reconsider their business practices and realize that customer satisfaction and safety should always be the utmost priority, especially in extreme weather events.

Meals are top-notch, always freshly prepared and creative, and often featuring produce sourced from local farms. Wine list is pretty average, but the craft beer selection is top-notch. Definitely a little quirky--for example, the restroom can only be reached by walking through the proprietors' bedroom?! Also in a very strange neighborhood full of apparently parent-less teenagers. Otherwise, an absolute gem with an incredible staff, highly recommended!

The proprietors are charming and gracious, and their dog is affectionate, though at times a little bit crazy. You may have to compete with the dog for space on some of the living room seating options, but this is just part of the charm of the McDinger B&B experience. During the summer, a previous poster's complaint of having to access the bathroom through the proprietors' bedroom is easily addressed by using the "South Hall Washroom" facilities. Just be careful not to lock yourself out of your room if you do so. During the summer months I am a fan of the greater privacy offered by the "South Hall Lounge" rooming option. This option provides guests with their own personal refrigerator and microwave, as well as the choice of three different beds. Hopefully these bedding options will be upgraded soon to better fit the sleeping needs of taller patrons. Sadly, this rooming arrangement is not available year-round due to seasonal infestations of unwanted teenagers. My only reason for not giving a rating of five stars is the uppity nature of the B&B's other patrons. Apparently opting for the less comfortable yet less obtrusive and more private "South Hall Lounge" option makes one a "drifter", whereas I would counter that it is a polite way to share the space and afford the proprietors a degree of privacy and relief from the grueling task of running such a wonderful (and wonderfully priced!) establishment. Furthermore, it is inevitable that one will be subjected to discourse on the brewing of over-priced coffee, articles in The New Yorker, and the latest doucheyness printed on a can of Six Point. If you are not well-versed in these subjects, then gatherings with other patrons may be awkward at times. All-in-all, the McDinger B&B for Little Wanderers is a welcome respite from the craziness of the standard vagabond existence, and I highly recommend it for your next stay in the area! -Homeless Vagabond

We first stayed here in May 2019 on the night my husband and I got engaged. We got engaged at the top of a multi-pitch rock climbing route in Rumney. Our families live far away, so we actually FaceTimed them from this Inn to share the news of our engagement with them. We went to The Last Chair next door for a celebratory dinner then had a lovely night at this Inn to enjoy our first night as an engaged couple. We came back to the Northeast last week for a wedding and spent a couple of days up in NH to do some hiking in the White Mountains. Now that it has been 5 years since our engagement, we thought it would be fun to stay here again to reminisce! We remembered Kevin right away--he is the most friendly and generous host. He makes you feel so welcome like you are family as soon as you arrive. We probably spent a couple hours talking with Kevin throughout our stay, he is just so wholesome and kind. He puts a lot of effort into adding special touches around the Inn to make it extra charming. Afternoon wine/cheese, a fridge filled with beer and waters, a coffee/tea station, freshly clipped roses in every room, chocolates and a cute quote on the bed, a guestbook to sign in your room, robes to wear. Not to mention the gourmet breakfast he makes for you in the morning! Ours was a fruit starter followed by homemade vanilla bean belgian waffles with hand carved local smoked bacon. There's also a hot tub outside that you can use. We came on a weeknight when the Inn wasn't very busy, so Kevin upgraded our room for free! We had such a lovely time here and really enjoyed coming back 5 years later. This place sets the bar high for a Bed & Breakfast--you get all the history (from the building to the stories of those who have lived there), beautiful grounds, a host with tremendous hospitality, and so many little things that add up to make this an unforgettable place to stay. Looking forward to our next visit when we are back in NH someday!

From hot tea to wine with cheese and crackers or a bucket of ice--John asks what we'd like.
