Indian Head Resort - Lincoln, New Hampshire

Jill S.

We were disappointed with our stay at Indian Head Resort. I had higher expectations given the word "resort" in the title and the photos on the website. On the plus side:
- It is close to the sights we wanted to see (Ice Castles, Loon).
- The restaurant was convenient, and the food was good. We enjoyed the entertainment by Carroll Brown (aka Solitary Man).
- The Greenery room was a nice bonus room for hanging out in.
- The "fireplace" in the room was great.

On the negatives:
- We had to go outside to get from our room to the lobby, pool, and restaurant. When it's freezing out, this is not pleasant.
- Every time we turned on the bath, the water was brown for a few seconds.
- The hot water from the tap became scalding, which is concerning when you have children.
- We could hear people walking around above our room at night.
- The wait to be served at dinner was long.
- Checking in took awhile.

We also had a very bad experience at the pool. When we turned on the bubbles in the hot tub, our children complained that it was hard to breathe and my daughter's eyes turned red. Soon, every kid in the room (at least 10) was coughing. Some were gagging. Our guess is that when we turned on the bubbles, chlorine got kicked up in the air, and we were exposed to high levels of it. We communicated this to the staff at the front desk, and were told that others complained as well and that the water was tested, but was in normal range. There is no question, however, that we experienced something frightening and abnormal.

We went here for the 16th annual "The Mystery in The Mountains Dead Again" murder mystery tour. Indian Head resort hosted it being the central location starting point. The resort appears to be very clean and well kept. We didn't stay here. We were here for the murder mystery, so I can't comment on the rooms.
The staff were very helpful, friendly and attentive. They all had big smiles and seemed to be happy being there. We had lunch and it was just a buffet. The food was good and plenty of it.
I would recommend coming to Indian Head resort and have some fun.

Total stars: 4.8 (giving 5 because I round up)

After reading negative reviews, I was definitely curious how our visit would turn out.. I think people expect too much for the price this place charges. This is not the Ritz Carlton, nor does the resort ever advertise as such. It’s a nice place to soak and get an average room! That’s what it is!

We arrived at Indian Head Resort after a day of skiing. The views are beautiful all around the facilities. We absolutely loved soaking outside in the hot tub. The views and vibes are nice and peaceful. Lots of kids but it totally is fine! My partner and I seriously had the best time. We were so happy like children. Yes, there is a lot of chlorine. We were in the tub for a few hours and by the end, my eyes and skin started getting a bit enflamed but it was kinda funny—not some disaster like others are painting it. People just get pissed if anything doesn’t go exactly how they want, and trust me, you want that chlorine in there.

Also, the hotel could improve the changing room. There’s no where to set or store items. But again, it didn’t make me have a bad time!!

We had the freaking best time and will 100% be back. Good value. Awesome soaking! Yay!

The location and amenities can’t be beat, there is beautiful views around every corner! The heated outdoor pool and hot tub are relaxing, fun and stunning views. The indoor pool and sauna are nice as well. The food was delicious, reasonably priced and the staff was friendly. We enjoyed being able to buy an alcoholic beverage from the bar and enjoy it at the pool. The kids loved the sledding and playing in the snow, the lake walk was beautiful. The rooms are clean, beads are big, coffee in the room and the mini fridge and microwave are convenient. We stayed here during the slow season (winter) so the resort wasn’t busy but I imagine during summer they can be packed but would love to come back for the fishing, hiking and viewing tower. I saw after we stayed they offer 15% off if you show ski pass so keep this in mind!

I should begin with, if you expect a resort quality stay, DO NOT stay here. The location is close to Loon mountain and the Ice Castles but the quality of stay for the amount you pay is sub par.
The rooms are low quality, mold in the bathroom, peeling wall paper, dust which has a terrible effect w those who has allergies, the resorts adjacent accommodation requires you to drive to the main location to access all the amenities.
Leading to those… while the outdoor heated pool and hot tub are nice, the amount of chlorine in them took my swim suit from royal blue to almost white within 2 visits. I guess that could be a plus considering the amount of children in these.
Breakfast buffet was good but shockingly not included and priced at nearly $20/person.
The shuttle service… tells you it’s worth it to avoid parking issues at the attractions. However, the wait for the shuttle service was over twice as long as told and the shuttle windshield wipers were broken, it was precipitating and he was on and off his cell phone while operating the shuttle.
I was looking forward to a nice weekend away w my daughter and if we ever come to this area again, we will certainly NOT BE STAYING here.
There are much nicer, actual resorts closer to Loon and more centrally located.

I’m scared. After the reviews. Not looking forward to the pool and hot tub and all the other possibilities, I’m supposed to go stay there in 2 weeks I’ll let you know how it goes. Ok so just got back from our weekend stay at Indian Head Resort and was pleasantly surprised that everything went smoothly our cabin was across the street which was the only drawback. But other than that. Restaurant was great we went on the earlier side so it wasn’t crowded but was full when we left. Full bar. Cookies & hot chocolate in lobby. Heated pool and hot tub. Views are great from our balcony I included pictures & videos took shuttle provided by the resort to the Ice Castle place like 30 min away and that was great. Anyway. Recommended destination pool and hot tub were fine.

A cozy, family-friendly motel with spacious and comfortable rooms. Both the indoor and outdoor pools are heated, making for a relaxing experience even in the winter months. They offer plenty of evening activities for kids, like bingo and ice cream stations, and a hill for sledding/tubing, adding to the family-friendly charm. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted with a table of hot chocolate and cookies—a thoughtful touch!

The on-site restaurant and gift shop are super convenient, though it is in a great area and offers shuttle rides to the nearby mountains and ice castles. It is worth noting that breakfast is not included. It’s served buffet-style at a fixed price.

Stayed here the Saturday after Thanksgiving so we could cut our own Christmas tree at the Rocks. Location is convenient for this. We did not eat here but they do have a restaurant and breakfast brunch.||There is an indoor pool and hot tub as well as an outdoor heated pool and hot tub. We tried them all but preferred the indoor pools, although some braver souls seemed to prefer the outdoor hot tub (not so much the outdoor pool).||The rooms were nice. Comfy beds. Nice bathroom.||Only downside is you need to go outside to access the amenities.
