Follansbee Inn

This is just so nice. We felt like we were visiting relaxed family right away. Friendly people, both the guests and the staff. People passing around a guitar and enjoying a fire, having drinks and eating a snack. Lovely old building, tastefully updated where it makes it more comfortable, yet retaining the character that makes this so wonderful. And the breakfast! The second morning I felt it worth it to cheat on my diet! No two rooms are alike. The whole place is filled with lovely antiques. Walk around the lake. People were out ice fishing while we were there. Except for a short walk we stayed inside most of the time. Always someone to talk to (if you want) or read in a nice nook somewhere. No televisions (I view this as a plus) yet fast free wifi. Our particular room had a jacuzzi, which my wife enjoyed. It was well heated everywhere we explored in this huge old house. Alas, not suitable for those with wheelchairs or difficulty climbing stairs. We'll be back, for sure!

We travel a lot and have stayed in many Inns. This was our second time here (after about 10 years). We were very pleased. We had a quick get away to the lovely Follensbee Inn on Lake Kearsarge in NH. Great relaxing by the fireplace or the wood stove. Loved a amazing breakfast on the beautifully set tables. Fun talking with other guests. The inn is 180+ years old but very updated. Warning: no TV in the building -I thought I would be unhappy about it but it was so nice to turn out the world and rest. There is great WIFI so we peaked at the morning news. The owners are friendly and helpful. Their two dogs are elderly and loving. Breakfast was self serve with many choices. There was a refrigerator, microwave, and bar for guests to use-- other guests brought food for a meal -- great idea. There is lots to do there all year round at the inn. We stayed in because of the extreme cold and wind. Rooms: they are all lovely and about the same size. Very clean. Warning: there were two big candy bowls filled with temptation!! We hope to return.

The Follansbee Inn is a true gem, a comfortable country inn with friendly and helpful hosts, beautiful lakeside surroundings, cozy rooms, and a delicious breakfast, plus two friendly dogs. As a bonus, the trees surrounding peaceful Kezar Lake were at peak fall foliage in mid-October. We will definitely be back!

5th stay at Follansbee Inn, with many more to come!! The Inn and furnishings are beautiful old New England. Kezar Lake across the street and walking path around it are enjoyed every day of our stay. But besides all of this, Denis' breakfasts are superb. We will be back again.....

Well located in very attractive countryside on the lake for outdoor activities facilitated by the inn. The rooms are comfortable and the place is generous in turns of extras provided. Note there is no evening dining but the place is helpful in turns of preparing carry out meals. Quirky in a good way; we were very pleased to stop here in our tour of New England

We have visited Follansbee Inn several times. This stay again didn’t disappoint. First time in room “Mimi”, perfect. While a bit more compact than other rooms we have stayed in, it was charming, comfortable and relaxing. Breakfast was outstanding and delicious each of our four mornings. Evenings in the lounge/living room, where we got to meet and enjoy other guests, only added to the relaxation.
