Federal House Inn Historic Bed and Breakfast

Wonderful Victorian atmosphere, great sitting rooms, relaxed, very kind, gentle, and welcoming innkeeper. Great food! Great Fun!

I found this bed and breakfast on Craigslist while looking for somewhere to stay during a short snowboarding vacation to Waterville Valley. The photographs online looked really beautiful, and the cost was extremely reasonable for a bed and breakfast, so I thought, 'why not?' This place is amazing. We stayed in Doris' wedding suite (I highly recommend this room!). Never before have I been pampered with such luxury. With a hot tub, beautiful Victorian decor (including a clawfoot bathtub, two robes, and fancy toiletries in the room!) and apple cinnamon fragrance filling each room of the house, what was not to like? The full breakfasts were two courses, delicious and varied from eggs to pancakes, to keish, wine and cheese were served each evening, and complimentary beer, soda, and a bottle of port sat in the corner of the lounge for guests to indulge at any time. The innkeepers, Andrea and Frank, live in an annex to the house, and can be accessed easily. They were wonderful, although we didn't get to spend as much time with them as past guest had (or so it seemed from the guest book left in our room). Overall, 5 stars, absolutely wonderful, couldn't have better service or facilities. Definitely would like to return next year!

All the rooms are amazingly beautiful and comfortable and the homemade breakfast was outstanding. Inn keepers were professional and friendly. Great night.

My husband and I have stayed here twice - once for a rock climbing trip and once for snowboarding. The beds are very comfortable, the room decor takes you back in time, and the thoughtfulness to detail surprises you! Andrea's breakfasts are a delicious way to fill up before an active day. Definately worth a stay!

The owners are incredibly welcoming and hospitable. A incredible house with clear historic reminders all around. Wonderful stay!

The food was amazing, the hospitality was great, the room was perfect. I was in NH to work an event on a rainy weekend, and this B&B provided a warm respite from the cold outdoors. The room was very clean and so cozy that it made me feel like I was on vacation, even though I was working. The gourmet breakfasts left me very happy and energized for the whole day. The owners are the sweetest couple, who can give you great advice on local attractions. I wish I could have stayed longer.

Beautiful room with canopy bed, working gas fireplace- breakfast was delicious- wine and cheese at 5:00, little dessert and tea waiting for us when we come in for the night- felt like we were living in the 'Golden Age'

The Federal House Inn was a wonderful place to stay. The breakfasts were delectable; as were the wine and cheese treats and late night sweets!!! Our room and the entire house was clean and luxurious. The service was 5star all the way! We had fresh amenities in our room daily; and the presentation of the food was gorgeous! Restaurant recommedations were also great. The hospitality bar had a lovely selection of wines and beers!
