Contoocook Beach

The rooms were clean, the staff made it very easy to check in/out. Plenty of parking and the small kitchen came in handy while there.

We had a lovely stay at this charming inn. The owners are very friendly and attentive.

Renter beware! This property is situated on a very busy road (Route 3) that has lots of dump trucks, tractor trailer trucks as well as general traffic all day. It stopped around 10pm and started up again at 3am - it didn't make for a "relaxing" or "simple" experience. If I had small children I would not feel comfortable with this location (teens and older, yes). The beach was beautiful but the traffic noise made it so disquieting it was hard to find peace. The beach is sandy and there is a float to swim out to. So beach wise (minus the noise) was an A. There were may paddle boards but only one canoe, one 2 person kayak, and two other single kayaks for use. They were available all day so obtaining one was easy. Now, onto the cabin itself. Rustic - yes, simple - yes, worth $300 per night absolutely not! The bed was so uncomfortable we barely slept (between the traffic and the horrid mattress). The fridge/freezer combo worked. The hot plate worked but there were 2 tiny plates and no bowls. We looked for the microwave to heat up some coffee but it was in the closet unplugged. Turns out the three prong plug was in the bathroom (at the end of an extension cord) and we would have had to move it to the bathroom to work. Water pressure and water temp were ok. We were locked out of our cabin and they didn't respond to us for 5 hours!! There is no one on site at the property, we had to leave a message. This place was not worth the money.
