We always stayed here for our summer week vacation when I was younger(probably 20+ years ago). My parents thought it would be fun/nostalgic to bring the grandchildren and, WHAT A DUMP!
When we first walked in the room smelled like a diaper pail and musty. We were covering our noses and gagging. After airing out the room for a few hours it was ...

We shall return!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/25/09
I like to have a good breakfast to start off the day and The Beacon really filled the bill. Eveything was just perfect and the waiters were outstanding. We were with a senior group from New Bedford, MA and just returned from The Beacon on the 24th of June. 2009. The side trip to Squam Lake and the tour guides were very knowledgeable about the ...

DONT GO!!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/02/08
I really cant understand how this place can have nice reviews unless the Very rude staff are actually writing them. There is nothing good about this place. (Maybe the food was decent but that was about it) Rooms are filthy, dirty, smell, rotten. I had a three night stay booke and only stayed one night and was praying for the night to be over so i ...

nil customer service by sales Staff
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/11/08
Seriously. It was made worse because we had to deal with someone called Wendy who is possibly the rudest person our group has met in our travels. It was hair pulling to work this with her and since we started with her we had to continue with her. No follow ups from her once she got our deposit, never returned any emails. We were travelling form ...

Loved the suites
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/03/08
We stayed at the Beacon for the Easter Seal Ride In, 1/31-2/3/08. We had a suite that was very nice.The food at Dads is really good a little pricey though. The indoor pools are a little to cold and the stairs got to icy outside.The owner tends to be rude to his customers but the staff are very plesant.

Our Family Favorite
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/16/07
My husband and our two children, who are grown up now, have gone about 10 times and the kids still ask to go back. Accomodations which include rooms with jacuzzi, two indoor pools provide a relaxing family atmosphere. Close to miniature golf, ski resorts and specacular scenery. Great on sight restaurant with terrific food and ressonable prices.

Just the worst ever
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/11/07
Entering our room, there were spiders, and I mean big ones, hanging by the door. It would have just taken a broom by the housekeeping staff to clear them away but no one had taken the time to do it. There were spiders in the bathtub, spiders on the walls. The mattresses were terrible and the room smelled. I don't think it had been aired out for 5 years. Don't expect to get any sleep at the Beacon.
