“Beautiful location in area of multiple outdoor attractions”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 4, 2013

Indian Head Resort is in a relatively quiet location on the edge of Lincoln, NH with beautiful views of the Indian Head rock formation and several other mountains. Behind the hotel there is a long pond for a leisurely paddle in summer or skating in the winter. There is a heated outdoor pool and hot tub that is open in the winter as well.

It is a family run resort with options of lodging in cottages as well as the main building. A very tall fire tower is a prominent feature of the main building which provides terrific views of the surrounding scenery during the summer.

There are multiple family attractions within 5 minutes of the resort including a water slide park in the summer and downhill skiing at Loon Mtn. in the winter. There are also numerous restaurants and shops in Lincoln and Woodstock.

“Quality Family Time”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2013

We came up to NH for ski weekend. Indian Head resort offered good prices for our family- me, wife , 2 kids 9 and 12. There seemed to be a lot to do - what sold out kids was being able to use the outdoor pool and hot spa in the winter. we checked in on Friday night and stayed 2 nights. We enjoyed our stay we got the meal plan and the food was good - breakfast buffet both mornings and good dinner off the menu. We especially like the Indian Pudding with ice cream for dessert.
This winter has been kind to NH and the skiing was great. We had great spending time as a family skiing and swimming outside in January.

Room Tip: Try the Indian pudding!

I have stayed there many times and have loved it.There is tons to do your three minutes from Lincoln's center. They're a great hotel and I would definitely come again!While you are there check out Jefferson NH where there is Santa's village and Six gun city.While in Jefferson for breakfast go to the wagon wheel best breakfast I ever had!

“Nice retreat for all ages”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 26, 2013

We rented out the largest house & 1 motel room to accomodate 16 members of our family for a little holiday getaway . The property is lively & friendly with a good size restaurant & lounge area. The entire property can use a little face lift for sure but it didnt take away from the overall experience of accomodating most of our entire family & creating some wonderful memories. Some of the younger ones went nearby to cut down thier own Christmas trees & it is close by skiing & all sorts of outdoor things to do with your family. There was entertainment in the lounge & the restaurant was just OK but convenience & friendly staff made up for what it was lacking. We only had breakfast there as we cooked a big meal in the house for everyone for dinners. That is a cost saving advantage also. Santa was there to delight the little ones & the lounge entertainer kept the older folks smiling. All in all a good place to "Get Away" to. On a side note my husband lost his watch somewhere in the main property & the desk was most helpful looking for it as it turned out right when he figured he was going home without it one of the guests found it on some steps near the pool & turned it in.

Room Tip: If you take a room know it's just a motel room accross from the main property & ask for a re...

“Nice place to stay when exploring the White Mountains”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 18, 2013

We stayed at an "English Village" cottage (sitting area, bedroom, bathroom & porch) for 2. It was cute cozy, clean and I loved it! These cottages look as if they are right out of a kid's fairytale. Very comfy with a big cable/satellite tv (surprisingly!) too.

This resort is situated in a nice location with plenty of recreation activities available for adults and kids. There was live music & some performances in the evening. Got some gifts from the gift-shop.

Highly recommend it for anyone.
