The property had rustic charm and was clean. However, the cottage where we stayed was run down and dated and hot water was not readily available. After about 5... read more minutes of running the water, as the sign in the bathroom suggests, the water was still cold. We would have stayed but no hot water is a deal breaker!
July 13, 2022Charlie, Jyoti, and Avi were wonderful hosts while our family stayed there recently. The kids had a great time playing together and they took care of everything that we needed.... read more Very reasonable rates and we’ll definitely be staying there again! More
May 15, 2022Yet another year has come and gone for us and our stay at this Motel and Cottages , under new management and still getting there feet wet . The cottages... read more are still in good shape , pool was open , and in this environment of Carona Virus it was nice to see how well the cottages were cleaned prior to our arrival . The new owners are friendly and attentive , I hope that bussiness picks up for them ,after all they had just purchased this property and then had to close in March 2020 until July that’s a lot of income lost . I’ve already made my reservation for next year . Enjoy folks got to love the white mountains !!! More

Every summer we stay at Carroll Motel & Cottages and can honestly say it is the highlight of our summer!

Most importantly, the owners Brian and Cyndi, are wonderful and extremely accommodating to every need! We love it there and cannot wait for our next visit!
July 10, 2017Good:
Screened porch at the cabin. Location (central to the Whites). TV, wi-fi, fridge worked fine. Ya Ya's (north of intersection) offers nearby basic groceries and subs (must be good... read more as it draws lots of customers).
Not so good:
Bed is short (I'm 6'2") and because the headboard juts out a few inches, I had to pull the bed off the wall by 4-5" and sleep diagonally on the mattress. Heating unit is a single blower in the bedroom, which doesn't maintain a consistent temperature during the night. Kitchen has no running water and so cleaning dishes is done in the bathroom sink whose stopper needs to be lifted to allow orts to run off. Bathroom window knob jammed and inserted packaged napkin between knob and frame to avoid having to fight the know when wanting to open or close the window. Closest large grocery store 21 minutes away in Littleton. (Only) one maid service for every 7-day stay. More
August 21, 2022We had a very nice cabin with comfortable bed. The cabins are older (which is what I like as they are the ones with character) but exceeding clean and delightfully... read more decorated. Really nice screened porch to relax on. We were early for season so was very quite.
