Homestead Bed & Breakfast, Sugar Hill

if this is the same "homestead inn" i remember from the 40's it sounds as though it is still and delightful and wonderful now as then. the innkeeper then was esther serafini. even the doorknobs were unique, painted with various wildflower designs. at dinner, a pianist played on a grand piano . it was a childs's dream.

The Homestead at Sugar Hill, NH is a lovely old inn still owned by the original family. They are very helpful, accomodating and full of interesting historical data about the area. The rooms are clean and furnished with beautiful antiques. Each has its own character. We have stayed in many of them and they are all unique. The best place to sit, sip tea or cocktails and enjoy the gorgeous view of Franconia Notch and the Presidential range. The breakfasts are always delicious and the room rates are affordable. We go to relax, enjoy down home comfort and get away from the rat race! Highly recommended.

My family has stayed at the inn off and on for over forty years. My last stay was approximately 20 years ago and boy how things have changed. Driving up to the inn is the best part for the scenery is quite beautiful. The rest is dreadful. The inn is in very poor condition both inside and out. I also found it to be unclean. My wife and I drove up from Massachusetts this valentines day to spend the night. I was expecting it to be the same as I last remembered. What a mistake. We were the only ones staying at the inn that night. Now I know why. The room was okay so we dropped our bags off and headed out to get a bite to eat. When we returned around 6:00 pm we had no heat. That was the last straw. I could tell you more stories about the inn but I'm strapped for time. My wife and I packed our bags and drove 3 hours to our home I wrote a letter to the owner a few days after but never received a response. Cross this inn off your list.
