Kinsman Lodge is the perfect NH inn. Friendly, welcoming hosts. Beautifully decorated farmhouse that has been in the owner's family for generations. Peaceful, quiet location. Delicious, filling breakfast. Porch for relaxing. I did not want to leave and I dream of returning here!

We spent seven nights at Kinsman Lodge and the whole experience was wonderful. Sue and Chet are charming hosts who do everything they can think of to make you feel at home and to make your stay special. After a long drive across from Mount Desert Island we were welcomed with the offer of coffee and Chet lighting a log... More

We just needed a place to sleep on a busy weekend in New Hampshire, but Sue & Chet made our short stay memorable. The warm, cozy atmosphere of their B & B made you feel at home. There were the Highland Games and Nascar that weekend in New Hampshire so rooms were not too plentiful but Sue made us feel... More

We decided to stay at this Bed & Breakfast at the recommendation of a friend for a weekend of hiking in the White Mountains. The Bed and Breakfast was easy to find, the hosts Sue and Chet were very sweet and welcoming and our room was spacious and clean. Bathrooms are shared but there are enough of them in the... More

We loved our stay of three nights at Kinsman Lodge. Sue goes out of her way to make you feel welcome and comfortable. Disregard the one negative review on this site, and believe all of the positive ones because there are only positives to say about Sue. She is a gem of a person, and thinks of every little thing...

Best place to stay! Clean, friendly, home atmosphere (thanks Chet and Sue). Had an amazing breakfast of scambled eggs, home fries, bacon, pistacio pancakes, and oatmeal blueberry muffins, all with a breathtaking view of Franconia mountains. Within 10-15 minutes of all local attractions like the Flume, Franconia Gorge, the Basin, and Kinsman Falls.. Looking forward to going back soon!

Great B&B in Franconia, N. H. Very. Clean and nicely decorated rooms. Close to White Mountains Forest and Franconia Notch Park. Mostly difficult trails, with rocks and roots, but also easier ones - The Flume, thé Basin, Klinsmann Falls... Great outdoor expérience!!! Could also visit thé Mount Washington Hôtel in Bretton Woods

We went to NH to enjoy the foliage in the beginning of October. Being in New England, we thought it is a must to stay at B&Bs. So we did. Three cities/towns, three B&Bs. Kinsman Lodge was by far - our favorite. Perhaps due to the beautiful and quiet side of the White Mountain. Perhaps due to Sue's and Chet's... More

The setting is beautiful, the house is an authentic New England farm house and the breakfast if fit for a king. Sue and Chet provide a wonderful b&b experience.

We were warmly greeted by Sue at her beautiful property, although we arrived pretty late at night. She has a cool map upstairs where you can stick pins in it to represent which part of the world you came from - and I'm proud to stick the first pin on Singapore. =) Sue and Chet live downstairs and the upstairs...
