    The Colony House has become our place of choice to stay when I visit my family in Keene. Joslin is incredibly welcoming and helpful, and the rooms have incredible character. It's really an oasis right in the heart of downtown--despite adjoining the very busy West Street, it's a remarkably quiet place to stay. My wife and I have stayed there the last three times we've gone back to Keene, and we can't imagine wanting to stay elsewhere.

    The Colony House has a long history in Keene, NH. I love the physical environment. the service is very good and I just found myself like a home. The design is an old American Style and far exceeded my expectation. I learned much about American culture during the stay.

    For the past 3 summers, we have enjoyed our stay in this beautifully restored old home. Like Jocelyn herself, Colony House is elegant, comfortable, and friendly all at the same time.

    My husband and I stay at inns whenever we can and Colony House proved to be both a very good value and a beautifully decorated and maintained property. It was not lacking in any amenities and the innkeeper was genuinely helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend the inn to anyone traveling to Keene or nearby.
