Reviews of Follansbee Inn
“We stayed a weekend here with our two young kids to go skiing in at mount sunapee. This inn is just wonderful. The place immaculate, the breakfasts made by Dennis are beyond outstanding. The attention to detail throughout was so refreshing. Dennis is a wonderful and kind host. He has two gorgeous and very friendly dogs that made my kids fall in love with dogs - they are previously both pretty nervous around dogs, but Grace and Angel are so calm and adorable! Besides being close to skiing, the inn is by a very charming lake- I’m a runner and really enjoyed running on the quiet country roads by the lake in the morning. Can’t speak more highly of this wonderful property! Can’t wait to come back.” - Gabrielle H.
“Lovely quaint inn -in New Hampshire. It is on a lake which is very scenic and lovely. There is a road that goes around the lake for walking as well which we enjoyed. Dennis the owner is a fabulous chef and made us incredible breakfast both times we have stayed there. Two sweet pups Grace and Angel live there also… Makes for a wonderful experience! I highly recommend Follansbee inn.” - Janet R.
