What Our Guests Say

I've been going to this fantastic Inn with my family almost every summer since I was a young girl. It didn't seem in the cards for a trip up to Franconia this year but my parents surprised me with a last minute night over at this gem of a destination. The new management and staff are doing a fantastic job holding up expert standards to a quality time at a quality inn.

Mary B

I have been going to The Franconia Inn since I was a young child. Absolutely love this gem of an inn. Very historical inside and lovely views outside. Just stayed for the weekend again this past weekend. So much New England charm. Excited to stay again at The Inn again this winter and go cross country skiing on the property. Loved it!

Lizzy A

My favorite place in the world. Fantastic amenities and accommodations set in the most beautiful valley. The food is phenomenal.

Henrik K

Had weekend breakfast with friends who were guests at this traditional Inn. One of the best breakfasts in the area, with interesting menu items, all well prepared. Friendly, accommodating service, as well. Reservations recommended.

Ronnie B

This is my Favorite getaway ! It's a diamond in the rough. Nestled in the Notch it has so much to offer. Beautiful Views, in ground pool, Tennis, Horseback riding, Hiking, and more.

Craig K

My husband and I had another wonderful time at the inn
The staff was wonderful and so friendly as always
Lisa had our table ready and coffee just the way we like it …

Shannone C

"I have grown up going to the Franconia Inn and have started going on my own now as an adult (this was my 20th year), so I was excited to hear of new ownership and some much-needed attention. Our stay was great, from the attentive front desk staff that accommodated our late check-in and meal reservations, to the always great breakfast service. The Inn had its energy back with a fully booked house and a busy pub and restaurant, fires burning in every fireplace."

Views from the Presidential Range Traverse ⛰️ This mountain range is comprised of the highest peaks in the White Mountains which are named after US presidents and historical figures. It is an 18.5-mile trail that covers 9 of New Hampshire’s 4,000 foot peaks, and over 8,000 feet of elevation gain in total. Mount Jackson is not technically on this route, but it is a 4,000 footer that can be added on. Many choose to complete this as a multi-day backpacking trip, an incredible experience with unbelievable views. 🥾 🥾 #franconiainn #whitemountains #presidentialrange #presidentialtraverse #hiking #backpacking

It’s lupine season! These beautiful flowers bloom from early June to mid June. The waves of purple, pink, and white lupine found in our White Mountain meadows and pastures are quite likely crossed between a native species 🌸 🌸 #whitemountains #franconianotch #franconiainn #lupine

It’s maple season here in NH 🍁 Freezing temperatures at night combined with warmer days allow sap from the maples to flow into our collection buckets. After filtration, this “maple water” is an excellent source of electrolytes to keep our hikers and bikers hydrated 💧 🍁 🍁 #whitemountains #franconia #maple
