South Effingham Hotels

"First night there a downstairs room below us burnt popcorn or toast & the smell came up into our unit & the smell woke us up as it wafted through pipes & cabinetry. We panicked bc we thought maybe there was a fire or smoke but there wasn’t. We still called the unattended front desk after hours & didn’t get any answer, so we told the front desk about that the next morning. Also, 2 of the 4 nights we stayed the security alarm was tripped & going off on the 1st floor all night. Room was clean, convenient, terrific to have a working kitchen, good sized fridge, huge dining table & 2 couches. Made our stay so much nicer. "

"Fantastic inn for pet and recreation lovers. Very comfortable and spotless room. Staff is exceptional- my dog could not wait to visit in the lobby. Such a wonderful stay I didn't want to leave!"

"Pillows felt like balloons, one tv very small,worker came and spread salt all over patio which made it difficult to not track everywhere,nothing shoveled, one large frying pan that was not usable non stick gone other than that had a good time with family"

"This hotel has a fabulous location regarding Lake Winnipesaukee. I stayed there in March of 2025 and 2026 and both times paid a "resort fee" which consisted of nothing. The hotel staff were very nice. My room was clean, but run down. The furniture was scratched, gauged, and set up on blocks of wood. I will say the linens were clean, the amenities were so-so. This hotel is taking advantage of its central location. In March, location doesn't matter. No one is going to enjoy the lake, the beach, the boating, everything New Hampshire has to offer in summer months during the month of March. "

"The service was okay they were kind, but Nothing was available for use except the pool which was freezing, sauna was out of order, so was the gym, the continental breakfast was lacking no cream cheese for the bagels, basically just bread. On the ad it said room service (food service), but what it meant was cleaning service. There was a ton of ants in the room also. The first night there we had no TV/Internet. Hopefully it's just in a transition period or something. I wouldn't stay here again though. "

"Property was in pristine condition. All the amenities available as advertised. Paul was a great host, made sure we had everything we needed. Beautiful area and a very cozy home."

"A wonderful oasis. Skiing, skating, swimming, restaurant and tavern, cross country ski trails, snowshoe trails and exercise room/hot tub all a minutes walk away in a picturesque valley setting. "

"Our family had a wonderful stay in this spacious and well-equipped mountain-top home. The game room was fabulous, and the living spaces were both comfortable and attractive. Check-in and check-out were easy, and the host provided useful information in advance about local amenities and recreational facilities. Would definitely consider booking this property again for another family getaway. "

"Directly on the lake with great views. Met the owner who was in the main house for the weekend. Super nice man who shoveled snow off our deck and around our truck a d the parking area. Our cottage was perfect: clean, well-decorated, comfortable."
