Manor On Golden Pond

This hotel is a luxury property that has retained its rustic charm and character. Rooms and bathrooms were perfectly appointed and feature excellent mini split HVAC units. I also recommend the hotel restaurant. This fine dining venue has got to be one of the best in rural NH or VT, if not in the two states as a whole.

We booked this trip last minute and once we arrived, I realized how lucky I was that there was a room left for the weekend at The Manor. Winding up the drive to the estate house gave us a sense of what was ahead. The perfectly well kept landscaping was the perfect backdrop to the stunning view and natural beauty of the area. Our room was not in the manor house, but in a small annex building just steps away. We loved the room. It was generously sized with a huge king bed, seating area in front of a fireplace and a gorgeous, newly renovated bathroom. Front and rear patios with rocking chairs meant we could sit in the sun or shade and enjoy the fresh air. The amenities were lovely - perfectly soft robes, lovely sheets and blankets and fresh cookies left daily. Each morning we enjoyed a lazy breakfast (avocado toast & oatmeal) with fresh coffee and juice. They offered many hot, delish looking breakfast options if that's your preference. We ate once in the pub, and really enjoyed our meal. Other nights we went elsewhere, but only because we like to explore. If you prefer staying "close to home" the more formal restaurant option for dinner looked like it would be amazing and perfect for more formal experience. The Manor was also well placed for daytime activities. We went to a nearby music festival one day and hiking the next while also making time for a dip in the lovely pool! The staff were super friendly and helpful. If you're looking for a high end but relaxed place to stay in NH, look no further.

My husband and I rented out the Van Horn estate for our July wedding, and it was a total dream. The staff was friendly, hard working, accommodating and truly so kind to us and all our guests. The property transports you into a total fairytale land. Every single guest said they felt like they were sleeping on clouds and couldn’t get over all the details little and big on both the grounds and in the rooms. Our wedding food was truly to die for and everything was smooth, easy and dream like. My husband and I, and many of our guests plan to come back regularly!
