We stayed for a couple of days at the Hillwinds Lodge in the heart of the White mountains and loved it. The rooms were clean, the beds comfortable, the location very practical -- two minutes from Highway 93, and very close to all the nice hicking sites. Our hosts are incredibly friendly, making you feel like coming back very soon.... More

We arrived early on a rainy day and were given a room quickly. The host was thoughtful and very accommodating. It's not fancy, but you can't beat the value. Each room has a notebook with information about things to do and includes hiking maps (you can get copies for yourself in the office). More

The bedding was clean and the staff friendly enough. The hotel was a little tired needing a good amount of TLC. Pool shut. Breakfast below average. More

What I liked...staff / owners were very pleasant and wi-fi capable What I disliked... 1. The view...I took the river side since the pics looked serene and pet free. The pics don't show that the view beyond the river is rte 3. 2. Dirty lodge &rooms!...I had to clean the bathroom before we could use it. The rugs are filthy,... More

Hillwinds Lodge is a real find, friendly staff, picturesque location, clean and comfortable rooms, nice landscaping, and extremely relaxing. We would stay there again anytime we're in the area. Regarding the one negative review above, speaking to the Lodge staff about the situation it sounds like an unfortunate but unavoidable situation they took care of quickly, so I hope the... More

We visit the Hillwinds several times a year and are always happy! Its a wonderful place to stay... and yes, we have the picture of Coffin Pond hanging in our hallway :) More

This is a clean family-run motel near the Franconia Notch. We spent 2 nights here with our teen son. We were in the lower-level Riverside Lodge which had 2 double beds. The room was clean & the bathroom has been renovated. We had nice views of the river & we did not hear much noise from our neighbours even if... More

I've been remiss in not reviewing this wonderful lodge sooner! For the past 5 years (usually twice a year) my husband and I, along with our daughter and her family, have stayed at the Hillwinds Lodge, and each time has been wonderful. The owners, Tina and Deanne, are warm and welcoming and very accommodating to their guests. One of the... More

I have stayed in this area several times over the last 5 or so years. Each hotel/ motel was somewhat disappointing. I can tell you we were very surprised at what we found when we opened the door to our room. We stayed on the river view second floor. The room was very large, although the bathroom was fairly small... More
