Golden Eagle Lodge, Waterville Valley

The hotel is amazing. There is a pool and many activites you can do. I went with my family and it was very fun. I recommend staying in a suite if you go with a lot of people

I'll echo what a million people have already written about this place....they cater to hockey tournaments (there is a rink next door) & kids run roughshod with no regard for anyone else. Running, yelling in the halls until 3 A.M. knocking on people's doors for fun, playing frisbee in the halls, unsupervised in the pool area. Management will do nothing when you complain. Apparently, this type of business is their meal ticket. What has happened to common decency & respect for others? I will never go back.

I love Waterville Valley and the Golden Eagle. We thought we wanted to go further North to Loon / Lincoln or Bretton Woods / Mt Washington, or even to North COnway, but it's just a two hour drive, the last 20 minutes is beuatiful wilderness and there are just no crowds at all. The lodge is like a castle, or maybe an adirondack lodge at Lake Placid. The rooms are large suites. There are two fireplace in the 2-story lobby, with a roaring fire in one. It's nice to burn someones elses woood that they bring in for you. The ski shuttle pulls up in front every few monutes and a short walk out the back and across a small dam is a story book village with restaurants, shops and a small convenience store. It's like a Disney World version of the mountains. The people are friendly and there aren't lots of them ... the benefit of being at the end of the road. The lodge is beautiful and well-kept. You can't lose.
