Notchland Inn


  • Inn Details

    Get away from it all, relax and rejuvenate at this comfortable 1860's granite mansion in the midst of the White Mountain National Forest. Settle into one of eight guest rooms, five spacious suites, or three cottages, each individually appointed and all but one wood-burning fireplace. The cottages are ideal for families or guests with pets, and one is arrier-free. Notchland's wonderful 5-course dinner is served Wednesdays through Sundays in a romantic, fireplaced dining room, and each morning guests enjoy a hearty country breakfast. Nature's wonders abound at Notchland. Animal lovers shouldn't miss a visit with Abby and Crawford, the Bernese Mountain Dogs.

    Notchland Inn was great as usual. Incredible atmosphere. Ed, Les, Mark and staff were their typical friendly and attentive selves. We enjoyed wood fires every evening in our cottage fireplace. Crawford and Felonie visited us a few times and were always near by. The breakfasts were great, the hand delivered weather report a nice touch. Mark is always a wealth of local information and very helpful with planning the day. We have stayed at many B&B and Notchland is #1.

    Notchland was terrific. The buildings and grounds are beautiful and the staff extremely friendly and knowledgeable about everything local. Very convenient to several ski resorts (Bretton Woods, Attitash, Wildcat, etc). Also key is that their cottages are dog friendly, so we were able to bring our lab along.

    This was our second time visiting the Notchland and we loved it just as much as in our first time! We stayed in the Zealand room and it was a good choice. I think Crawford takes it for better room, though. The innkeepers Ed and Les are really great and welcoming. I must say they have a beautiful home. Mark went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable. And Felony & Crawford (the two Bernese mountain dogs) make great company! My fiancée and I adore this place. We hope to make our retreat to Notchland an annual thing!


    Can't wait to go back!

    This was our first stay at the Notchland Inn and we can't wait to go back. The food was phenomenal, we had both breakfast and dinner during our stay. Love the working wood fireplace in the bedroom. We also got a great suggestion from the Innkeepers on where to go to cut down our Christmas tree for the holiday.
