Another great stay! Sarah made us feel welcome each morning at breakfast and the night we ate onsite for dinner. The river views and access are a staple. Our room was clean and all appliances worked. This is a great base location to stay while exploring the White Mountains, Great North Woods, and [since we have 2 dogs] Dog Mountain in nearby Vermont.

Taking safety measures
Stayed here before a day skiing at Cannon. The bed was comfy and the breakfast was delicious, which is all we really needed! There was a dinner party going on the night we stayed which was a little noisy, but it seemed like a special, 1-time event. And they cleared out by 1030ish and it was quiet after that. Overall a very nice stay and would come again!
I've driven by this place whenever I'm in the area for skiing, usually passing through. I always thought it looked liked a nice B&B, but not open to the public for dining. However, this past visit, when I was staying in Twin Mountain at Carlson's Lodge, the owner there, Carol, recommended dining at the Wayside Inn. Carol said you'd have to eat in the bar area on Thursdays, but it was well worth it. So, this past Thursday, took a seat at the bar (there were several tables there too, but I was by myself). The dining room had a local 'dining out' club eating a buffet meal there on Thursday, and they also kept the bar busy with drink orders. Sarah, the 'workaholic' owner of Wayside Inn, was tending bar too, and sold me on one of their dinner specials - a mixture of steak tips, asparagus, cheesy mashed potatoes, topped with baby shrimp - nicely put together. I highly recommend this place for dinner.
It's too bad this place is not also listed as a restaurant on the Trip Advisor site - it deserves to be listed there as well
We booked a reservation on opentable very easily. Sarah the owner Greeted us and was very atttentive to our excellent meal. My wife ordered a meal not on the menu and was no problem. I got the special Paella which was excellent. Many credits to her Cheif. Would recommend to everyone to visit
The Inn looks amazing on the outside and the public areas are beautiful and authentic. It's located near a stream and there's a lot of open area. However, at first we got a room at the main building. Small, stuffy, no TV, no Fridge and a view of the roof....
We asked to move to the adjacent building closer to the stream. The room there was bigger, had a ancient TV (not flat) and a fridge. It also had a smelly dirty carpet that we didn't dare step on wuth bare feet.
The bathroom was small.
My wife and I totally enjoyed our time at The Wayside Inn. Sarah and her team were very friendly and truly took care of everything, especially additional ice! Our room was lovely filled with charming furnishings. The room was clean and we could hear the flowing river...very relaxing! The breakfast (included) was great. Sarah was the breakfast chef and made a delicious 3 egg omelet. We ate dinner one night and we were not disappointed. I had a mushroom quesadilla - a major hit for me! My wife had a salad which was very good. As expected, my wife had the cherry braised beef short ribs and she raved how good it was. I had the duck and was very happy it came out a perfect medium rare. Being able to talk with Sarah, I heard her vision of what she would like the inn to become. We can't wait to go back and see what improvements come next. Treat yourself, go to The Wayside Inn!
