The staff were helpful and welcoming, and there's a cute gift shop with White Mountain merchandise and local goodies. Public restrooms are also available. It's an easy pull off from the main road and a great first stop to get oriented to the area. There are also stamps here for people collecting travel book stamps. Kathy was especially great, she was very kind, helpful, and very funny. She went out of her way to make sure we had our trip planned out with all our questions answered. They also offer maps in multiple languages, including Chinese, French, German, Japanese, and Hindi and I loved the accommodation. Overall, great stop to get acquainted with the White Mountains!

Five stars for the service and food!

Yelled at us to stop running even though he was just walking with us so we just walked out. Not even touching anything, yelling, knocking stuff over, or running.

Since fudge can sit in the case for long periods of time it can get dried out and exposed to people , it would be nice to have a closed case and a section for the fudge with nuts incase one has a nut allergy.

I am been coming up to this area for 36 years and somehow - wildly - I have never been to Water…read moreWheel until yesterday! I can't say enough great things about this place and I sincerely regret not stumbling upon it sooner. It's adorable - has a gift shop with t shirts, children's toys, candles, fudge etc that is shockingly well priced for really cute stuff. Once seated, you will find Peg Solitaire placed on each table that kept our toddler occupied while we waited for our food. The server recommended "The Hooligan" which is photographed with my review and she absolutely nailed it with her rec. This is probably the most delicious breakfast food I've ever consumed. It was basically eggs Benedict on top of grilled cornbread with hash and it was SO good! It just had so much flavor and it all went together perfectly. Portions were huge and prices were genuinely great. I hate to make this place more popular but I need to give credit where credit is due. I highly recommend! Hope to go back to Water Wheel very soon!
