The Inn at Thorn Hill

It is a gorgeous old Inn with a large wraparound porch in the Jackson area of the White Mountains. Our room was spacious, with a wonderful view and spa bathtub. We had tea (Bourbon Vanilla Camomile, delicious!) with honey and homemade cookies as part of the nightly room turndown service. The staff were super friendly and gave good advice for seeing the area as well as a terrific laundromat nearby. We enjoyed breakfast and dinner in the full service restaurant as well as a lighter fare dinner meal in the tavern adjacent to the restaurant. We also had drinks in the tavern. The Mount Washington Cog Railway base station is only a 44 minute (34 mile) drive from the Inn. The Jackson covered bridge (Honeymoon Bridge) is one of the entrances into Jackson from Pinkham Notch Rd (NH 16) - so very cool! Also, Jackson Falls on the Wildcat River is a 3 minute drive from the Inn.

High quality breakfast in a nice dining room overlooking nature. Several, cook to order, egg choices, including eggs Benedict, or pancakes, oatmeal. Delicious fresh fruit (melon, strawberries, blueberries, banana.) Full service restaurant with friendly, polite, cheery servers. All included in our stay. Really wonderful! The dinner menu is fabulous. Obviously a talented chef. 5 stars! Our room was clean and spacious with a huge Jacuzzi. The manager went out of her way to deliver a dessert to our room when my daughter called to request it for my husband's birthday. It was gourmet and delicious! And she even typed up a birthday note from her to him. Above and beyond kindness! My husband was so surprised. We loved our mini-break birthday stay!

From the minute we entered the Inn it was fabulous, beginning with Nancy at the front desk who was delightful, all of our wait staff Rebecca, Nicole, hostesses, and Chef Dave exceptional, and not to forget the cleaning folks, all fabulous! Each going out of their way to accommodate my husband's special dietary requirements. We were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary, and it couldn't have been more memorable by spending it at the Inn.

Let's start with the good things: a hotel designed in a completely different way from the other road hotels we've been to in New England. Located in a magical forest, with a warning of bears roaming around :) You feel like you're stepping into a dream and actually into a home that hosts you and not really, into a hotel. Parking is close and convenient. The receptionist who received with us, and poured us nafha wine, was intelligent and welcoming and we had a great conversation with her. She also handed out at 21 o'clock to each room a lovely tray of tea and homemade cookies. A wonderful surprise! Breakfast, unlike other hotels, was out of menu in a lovely restaurant, something that was special and different. The whole atmosphere in the hotel is magical, you feel in a fairy tale. The room is relatively small, but the shower is huge and has a spotlessly clean jacuzzi, with wonderful, high quality shower products. There is also special and romantic lighting. Everything is very special. Both the hotel surroundings and the forest it is located in the morning, were amazing.

Absolutely everything!! The location was perfect. The staff was beyond friendly and helpful. They all seemed to enjoy working there. Our room was wonderful and clean. Every possible need was anticipated and met. Breakfast and dinner were delicious and service was fast. I have a gluten allergy and they were very a accommodating. The little details made the experience exceed our expectations. There was a hand written note on our arrival with homemade truffles. Tea/coffee and cookies were available all day in the Tavern and there was late night tea and cookie service brought to your room. We look forward to returning and are considering at least a yearly visit if not multiple visits in the different seasons.
