Our family enjoyed a wonderful "post-pandemic reunion" at Bear Brook Lodge, full of pool time, singing all round the campfire, and hikes at state parks just minutes away. Under new ownership this lodge has amazing potential for big group lodging. Though there were some things we had to contact the owners about, they responded while we were there and worked things out very well. You will appreciate the large, well-appointed kitchen, enormous dining room (comfortably seats 18), comfortable sitting areas, and spacious bedrooms. You can't go wrong with Bear Brook if you want access to North Conway and points north, in a quiet, peaceful setting just off of Route 16.
