Old school motor lodge with too many maintenence issues to recite....and at $390 for a single night stay even during peak foliage in Manchester...a bit pricey.

Would stay again and for longer.

We had a private cottage with two bedrooms, very comfortable. Extensive grounds, nature trail, and a restaurant made our short stay enjoyable.

This place is worn out and not maintained.

Visited August 2025: The suite was okay, but not special. The deck was poorly maintained and not usable. The whole place was like that. The trout pond was nasty--no fish, dead water, a row boat full of moldy water, a dock that wobbled, and a path that was overgrown from disuse. The breakfast was icky, and the grounds were worn out. The "resort" was probably really nice 75 years ago, but now this is just a seedy old motel. But a very expensive motel.

In need of TLC

Not the cleanest place. Dust ruffle was hanging across the floor and the floor was not clean. The walkway outside our door is crumbling apart. The tv volume is set to only go very low and is far across the room. The internet is awful. The bed was actually very comfortable. The place could use some TLC!
