Welcome to The Wilderness Inn Bed and Breakfast, a 1910 Craftsman Style lodge in the heart of the White Mountains. We are ideally located close to Franconia Notch State Park, The Flume Gorge, The Lost River, Loon and Cannon Mountain ski areas, the Kancamagus Highway, and within a scenic drive to Mount Washinton and Squam Lake. Our favorite aspect of innkeeping is sharing information about our beautiful area. We are glad to talk extensively with our guests about the best places to hike, bike, canoe, swim, fish, and ski. We have numerous books about the local area in our living room that you may peruse as you sit by the gas fireplace enjoying your evening libations. The highlight at our Inn is our "cooked to order" breakfast which includes a starter of juice, fresh fruit salad, and Chef Alan's freshly baked muffins of the day; followed by your choice of Eggs Your Way, Omelets with your choice of vegetables, bacon morsels, and/or cheeses, French Toast with Fruit Compote of the day, Crepes made with fresh fruit, or House Recipe Pancakes served with 100% pure maple syrup as well as our homemade apple and cranberry syrups. All seven rooms/suites and the cottage have private baths, three have jetted tubs, and two have gas fireplaces also. Complementary coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are available anytime during the day. We hope to welcome you soon to our home. We are Alan and Karen Trudell: New Owners with a New Vision.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We stayed in the Maine suite on the 2nd floor. The bed was comfortable and the dual shower heads in the bathroom was a unique feature. We really appreciated the air conditioning which we needed during our stay. Breakfast was delicious. Plenty of choices including pancakes, waffles, crepes, eggs, fruit, yogurt etc. All cooked to order exactly the way you want it. We felt very safe. Everything was clean and we had plenty of "personal space". No one was wearing masks in the B&B (personal choice) however we were rarely within 6 feet of each other. Overall we found New Hampshire to be rather relaxed about masks. We rarely saw them in restaurants however places of business did recommend them. There were enough choices for eating outside that it wasn't an issue. The location is close enough to the small town center that you can walk to restaurants if you wish. There are tons of outdoor activities. We spent most of our time hiking.

We checked ourselves in by arriving to find a note with instructions & our key (I like that). There was water, tea & coffee in a small pantry. The Inn is decorated nicely with antiques. We stayed in room 4. Our room was a 2 queen with furniture for our stuff. There were power strips for our electronics. Shower was nice size & plenty of hot water. Vanity area in room 4 might benefit from a swing arm lighted makeup mirror (the mirror over the vanity is far from the edge, hard to see into. Room heated up nicely. Was clean & beds were nicely decorated. I will say, the bed was really, very uncomfortable & we didn’t sleep well :(
The fireplace in the common area was nice , there were blankets to snuggle with, books, games & cocoa.
The next few words are meant to help, not criticize. If this was my place, I’d play some nice music during the breakfast, add a door to block the view into the kitchen & set more tables so that even if every room had travelers in it, each person would be able to eat at the same time. There are only 3 little tables in the dining room. The hosts are nice. Breakfast was yummy. I’d stay here again for sure.

My husband, daughter, and I recently stayed here for 2 nights. We were visiting the Ice Castles and Loon Mountain and The Wilderness Inn B&B is super close to both. We stayed in the Maine room, which was perfect as there was a small room off to the side of the larger room with a twin bed where our daughter slept. Breakfasts were very filling and very delicious (no need for lunch!) - we had the pancakes (so good and more substantial than normal pancakes due to the fruit and the oats used to make them), the omelets, eggs, home fries - we had it all! And the muffins were delicious as well. We liked the living room, with the abundance of games and puzzles and we appreciated the fridges where we could store leftovers and the hot chocolate and tea stand. Our only note is that it was very quiet in the inn so we felt like we had to whisper in our room. Karen was very helpful and gave us very good area recommendations.

My husband and I checked into the Inn and noted that they had a sheet of paper with times for people to write their name in for breakfast the next morning. We did not put our names on the breakfast schedule as we were unsure of when we would be up and ready for breakfast. The next morning we happened to be up and ready before 7am. My husband went downstairs to get us both a cup of coffee and look at the breakfast schedule. There were two openings for the 7:00am sitting....that's where this experience went downhill! My husband asked the female owner if we could join the 7am breakfast, and was told "you didn't write your name down" then curtly told him, "write your name in" . He then said, well can I get two cups of coffee to bring to our room. She first said yes, as long as you bring the cups back downstairs, then promptly said “NO, there aren’t enough cups.” Needless to say, when he came back to the room, we gathered our things to leave. However, before leaving I went down to confront her, she was gone to the store, I angrily told the male owner about the experience. When we were about to leave a few minutes later, the female owner was back and actually cornered me in their “hospitality room!” She wanted to know why I confronted her husband when the conversation was between her and my husband. I physically pushed my way past her and we left. Never have we had that bad of experience at a so called hospitality Inn!

We spent two nights at The Wilderness Inn recently and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Karen and Alan were very friendly and helpful. We felt welcome, and appreciated the relaxed atmosphere they created. We stayed in the Rhode Island room which (understandably) was the smallest room, but it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was clean, cute, bed was comfortable, good shower - what more could you want! We also took advantage of the shared spaces both inside and outside, and felt very at home throughout the property. The location is quiet but a very short walk to the main part of North Woodstock where there are plenty of good options for eating and exploring. It is also just a short drive to great hiking options and other attractions. We have no hesitation in recommending The Wilderness Inn while staying in this lovely area of New Hampshire!

We just returned from a 4 night stay at the Wilderness Inn. This place is wonderful. Our room, the Alaska Suite, is exactly as described on their website. We loved it. The room was large, comfortable and clean. The bathroom was a very nice size and the shower/tub was wonderful as well. We especially loved the attached sun porch. It was a comfortable place for morning coffee. The coffee station is located right outside the Alaska Suite so it was very convenient. There are also 2 refrigerators in this location for guests use. The breakfast is a great and delicious way to start your day. Coffee, fresh fruit, homemade muffins and your choice of entree. We tried just about all of them and they are all fantastic. There is a large entry porch which is a nice place to enjoy lunch, a snack or just sit and relax. The owners Karen and Alan are friendly and make you feel like you are part of a family, not just guests. They are very knowledgeable of the area and were fantastic at recommending restaurants to try. All were as good as they said they were. The deck is a nice place to sit and take in the views and peacefulness of the area. The Inn is located within walking distance to shops and restaurants. It is also a short drive to area attractions. This is a place we will definitely go back to. Thank you Karen and Alan for a wonderful stay. Cheryl and Tony C.

My husband and I decided to take a trip where we've never been - New Hampshire, for some skiing. Best decision ever!! My husband chose The Wilderness Inn Bed & Breakfast. I'll be honest, I didn't know what to expect, never been to the Northeast, but this little jewel completely exceeded my expectations! The owners are interesting, kind, considerate, respectful, knowledgable and willing to share the best places to eat and sight see. When they offer suggestions to sight see, listen to them!! Never being in this area, I was extremely grateful. Their hospitality is outstanding. Their breakfast they offer in their package is exceptional. Karen and Alan go out of their way, above and beyond, to make a fantastic, fresh, and thoughtful breakfast. We stayed in the bungalow which was private, offering a jacuzzi garden tub and fireplace. This bed & breakfast is cozy, quaint, comfortable, charming, and just plain absolutely delightful! It is walking distance to shopping and restaurants, and also a short drive to more shopping and restaurants. It is also very convenient to multiple ski resorts in the area. I will always look back on this vacation getaway with great memories of an amazing time away from our normal lives. Both Karen & Alan played a huge part in making this vacation special in every way!!

My wife and I were visiting Ice Castles On Tues. 2/1/22 and stayed overnight at The Wilderness Inn B&B. We were supposed to stay in the Rhode Island room but were upgraded to the New Hampshire Room.
The room was clean and tidy, the bed comfortable.
The interior of the B&B has been updated but retains the charm of the Art Deco style of house from the 1920s . I found myself at home sitting on the comfy chair in the living room. Chess and checker boards were set out for use by visitors.
Breakfast was deliciously satisfying having been given a choice of juices, muffins, omelettes, pancakes, french toast etc.
We enjoyed our brief, but pleasant, stay and look forward to returning when we have an opportunity to visit Woodstock NH again in the future.

I'm generally not the Bed & Breakfast type of vacationer as I prefer to keep to myself, but this inn offers a bungalow that is separate from the main house and better for a bit more privacy. When we arrived at around 2:00 to check in, there was no one at the desk, but a card with our name, room key, and some brief instructions had been left for us, including where to park, etc. That was also when we signed up for (free) breakfast for the next day. There was a binder where you could fill in your name in an available time slot; I had wondered how that was going to work. The breakfast food was quite good for what they had to offer: they give you coffee/tea, juice, a muffin (we didn't bother as we didn't need it), a fruit bowl, and your choice of entree. I had strawberry crepes the first day - they serve them with sour cream which I thought was odd. My husband had a plain Belgian waffle. The next day I opted for a spinach omelet with brie, which was good if you like strong brie. Hubby chose traditional eggs and bacon. All the food was decent (the fruit bowls were nice and fresh). The bungalow bed was pretty comfortable and the jacuzzi tub was a plus (limited channels on the tv, though). We had a fridge and a Keurig, and there were a couple of glasses and pieces of silverware available. The location was super close to the Woodstock Brewery and nearby shops. We spent a day driving the Kangamangus and visited North Conway. Overall it was a lovely stay.

This adorable inn was perfect for our family's Christmas ski vacation. Located in close proximity to several ski resorts, we enjoyed several, with Loon being our favorite (which was also closest to the inn.) Karen and Allen treated us to such delightful breakfast each morning and gave us all the advice and recommendations we needed for places to eat, shop, sightsee, and ski. Our rooms were cozy and charming and had everything we needed. We enjoyed our entire experience and highly recommend.
