The inn is run by an Indian family. They were so welcoming and cheerful. They made my stay.
Pros:

This has an old-world charm. Not your posh, modern, hotel, but a ski inn that Bing Crosby would have loved.

Don’t get me wrong. Nothing is run down, quit the opposite.

Location is ideal.

Cons:

The continental breakfast is lacking. But I mainly used that for a good cup of coffee, a piece of fruit, toast topped with scrambled egg, and off I go.

Comfortable Base Camp for Adventure
Pros:

This is our second time staying at the Snowy Owl Inn for our anniversary adventure, and it's only gotten better. Rooms are clean, beds are comfortable, we had fun climbing up to the lookout tower upon arriving, and tonight we enjoyed a delicious dinner in the restaurant the owners have opened in the lower level. Perfect home base for an adventure in the Western White Mountains.

Hiking basecamp
Pros:

Snowy Owl Inn – Waterville Valley NH – July 11 into 12 – 2026

First stay – great place! We used this for basecamp for two days of mountain climbing in the area (about 10 minutes away from Sandwich Mountain / Drakes Brook Trails and Welch-Dickey Trail.

Super easy and fast check in. Very nice staff. Dog friendly for a modest extra fee. Rooms were small and perfectly suited for our needs. Everything was very, very clean. TV and fridge in your room – we were in 202 that looked out to the back of the property facing a little river. Water pressure and temperature in shower was great. No noise from other rooms. 202 is on the main floor at the end of the hall, not near ice machine or elevators – next to emergency exit only door.

We did not try it, but there is an Indian restaurant in the building. This is a quintessential NH ski lodge with large stone fireplace and hearth in the lobby and a front porch with rocking chairs. Next door is a small village shopping area, other restaurants and a small lake. Very nice.

This is a no smoking property.

Price was more than fair for what you got and they allowed only a one-night stay on a weekend which was very nice.

We will be back.
