Notchland Inn ReviewOff Route 302 in a wild section of Crawford Notch, this inn looks every bit like something out of a Sir Walter Scott novel. Built of hand-cut granite in the mid-1800s, Notchland is classy yet informal, perfectly situated for exploring the wilds of the White Mountains. The front parlor was designed by Gustav Stickley, a founder of the Arts & Crafts movement, in suitably wood-heavy style; check out the unique fireplace. Guest rooms are outfitted with antiques, wood-burning fireplaces, high ceilings, and individual thermostats. Some of the five suites have Jacuzzis and/or private decks; two are located in an adjacent former schoolhouse (the one upstairs has a wonderful soaking tub) and there are three new cottages, all with kitchens or wet bars. You may want to add the five-course dinner to your plan -- because the closest restaurant is a long, dark drive away. Nonguests can dine here, too. Facilities: Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip. Related Features

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
