If you haven't stayed with John and Nancy at the Victorian on Sunset Hill you're missing their…read moreauthentic hospitality. We ride our motorcycles from metro Boston and whenever we arrive--in the rain, the cold, the dark, the garage door opens for us. From hot tea to wine with cheese and crackers or a bucket of ice--John asks what we'd like. In the morning we bring a carafe of Peet's coffee up to our sunrise room overlooking the presidential mountains before sitting down to a four course breakfast. Fresh fruit cup, a yogurt parfait with berries, a waffle ( a pitcher of warm maple syrup ), finishes with eggs Benedict. The veranda provides plenty of comfortable seating for reading and reflection--or enjoying a beverage. The Victorian is truly a restorative place that encourages relaxation and conversation--with little effort you can plan your day's activities of hiking, cycling, or site seeing.

Although there are a few things that could use some TLC, overall the cottage was great. Comfortable bed, great jacuzzi tub, sauna, and fire box. The restaurant at the inn is exceptional. Unique menu items and everything cooked to perfection. We loved it so much we ate there all 3 nights of our stay. The inn has a library and enjoyed playing chess there by the fireplace one evening. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. I would recommend staying here.

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!

The rooms are beautiful and spacious. In the morning when you walk down the hall, the smell of maple bacon smells so good.

I really enjoyed my vacation there. The food was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to plan my next vacation there! -Bob and Rhonda

Attended an event here over the weekend. They required a 2 night stay for a Saturday wedding which…read morewas unfortunate. We stayed down the street at the Sugar Hill inn which was nice. The food was okay (Not that anyone expects lots from a buffet). They took the buffet down really quickly. They said they'd be bringing out more food for guests to get a second plate which didn't happen. We requested a song the DJ didn't play. We, like most who attended seemed to have a good time all the same. The couple being celebrated and all their friends and family are pretty great company. The property is lovely, the view is gorgeous, the service (specifically how they host a wedding reception) leaves something to be desired however.

I suggest that room as it isn't close to the common living room, compared to first for rooms. Not that it matters, that place is silent, as all guests were respectful. The owners cook an amazing breakfast, that is quite a delight. Fresh baked cookies are available every afternoon and I ate my weight in them. The outdoor hot tub was a huge perk for us as was the billiards table and scrabble game. Every night they stoke a roaring fire in the wood stove. Perfect for when you come in from being outside. They offer free snow shoe gear to borrow, so naturally we took advantage and hiked outside on the trails. This place is 25 min from Muddy paws dog kennel to go sledding. Do it! It's amazing. While nearby restaurants are limited, what is around, is good. We loved this place. We will return.

Horse & Hound is a wonderful and quaint bed and breakfast in Franconia. The white mountains are…read moreincredibly spread out and we struggled figuring out what area to stay in. This spot was perfect for everything that we wanted to do! The Inn is fairly small- probably around 9 or 10 rooms. The hotel was pretty empty during our stay so we were upgraded to a room overlooking the lawn which was great. I can't say enough about the property. It's nestled in the hills and is just so serene. There's a small stream nearby and if we didn't have so much to explore I could have spent hours laying on the hammock on the back lawn. The inside is equally impressive - it's got a very preppy feel and I felt like I was in a Polo ad. There are lots of cozy sitting areas, fireplaces and shelves filled with books and games. The actual guest room is spacious and the bed is comfy. It's an older hotel but you can tell there were updates. The AC works well and the shower has good pressure. Because of covid there is no daily room cleaning. There is also normally a bar and restaurant onsite but it's not open because of covid. But there is still a daily breakfast for guests included in the stay. Breakfast is sit down service every day from 8-9 and comes with eggs, fruit salad, an English muffin and a meat plus coffee and juice. Always delicious and filling! Staff is also friendly. We had the same server for breakfast every morning and she was very sweet. We also saw the innkeeper Doug around periodically and he was always super friendly and helpful. The rate is reasonable and the location is great. Your about a ten minute drive from Franconia notch / echo lake / cannon mt and around a half hour from mt Washington. You can find lots of food and breweries ten minutes north in Littleton or twenty minutes south in Lincoln. We will stay here again without hesitation and I truly think it would be a beautiful and enjoyable visit during all seasons.

This year (2009-2010 ski season), the Horse and Hound is under new management and it is again one of the best apres ski and dining establishments near Cannon Mt. Don't be misinformed by the old website which is soon to be updated. The Hunt Room menu is comprehensive American Cuisine. The daily specials are a must. The portions are good. The lounge has great atmosphere, music, a well stocked bar, friendly service, free wifi (a big plus for the area) and big screen television. The area also has some of the best Alpine and Nordic skiing around. My wife and I have been there twice in as many weeks and we expect to make it a regular venue for the ski season.

There was a beautiful fireplace in the middle of the house with gentle music playing in the background. The room was cozy and clean. Even though the bathrooms were shared, they were so clean that I really felt I was at home. I love this place!! Met some guests hiking who were staying here as well.

The food was a 6. Beverages were short. The flourless chocolate cake was flat. Bread pudding was average. Waitress was a touch pushy. But I think she was just trying to make sure we were happy. I do think their drinks are overpriced. Example: one shot of scotch was $15.00. There was a beautiful red propane stove in our suite that was inoperative. Unfortunately, there was a very noticeable septic smell throughout the Inn. I will consider other Inns when we return.

The towel holder was rusty, the lights didn't dim, and there was a TV mount with no TV. They stripped away the charming Victorian wallpaper and replaced it with plain paper (done diy again) because it was already peeling off. Dead bugs collected in the corners where they hadn't vacuumed. Worse, there was no heat because they hadn't turned it on yet! They gave me a space heater that was either too hot or too cold. The outdoor paddocks were cluttered with extra wood fencing, making the view from my balcony ugly and messy. No food service Monday through Thursday, and they replaced the once-fresh coffee and four-star breakfast with bagels and cereal. The tennis courts had grass growing on them, and the barn's broken windows and peeling siding looked neglected. Cold air and flies seeped in through window ACs, and they even took away the rocking chairs. The parking lot is in terrible condition--uneven, with water pooling everywhere, and no lighting, so you inevitably end up stepping in it! They took away the personal touches and charm. Shame. Horses were well fed and bed was very comfortable. Mia at the front desk was great.
