We try to stay at historic properties whenever we can, and the Eagle Mountain House was on our list the next time we visited the North Conway/Jackson area. So our recent stay on a Friday and Saturday in January was okay, but not stellar. The overall building is in good shape; owners and staff seem to be taking care of this 100 year old girl. But the number 1 issue that unfortunately cannot be solved is noise. With conference groups, and "active" types, and kids kids kids - it is impossible to spend any down time in your room without constant banging of doors, thumping of walls and floors, and everyone else's conversation like they are in your room with you. I had to hear the merits of some guy's long underwear while we were getting ready to go to dinner . . .(sigh). Really wish people would respect the age of this hotel, and "think" a little before treating it so hard, slamming doors and banging ski equipment against every wall. The general public is generally ignorant of the abuse they exact on places they stay.
On a previous visit, we enjoyed a drink in the cozy bar of the EMH, but this trip the conference group booking had taken over the bar, so we checked out the Shovel Handle Pub at the Whitney up and over the hill, and it was great; inviting barn turned tavern with live mellow music and fireplaces glowing.
So we are glad the Eagle Mountain House is still operating after all these years, but I think we'll seek quieter lodgings next winter.

My Fiancée and I spent the Nov. 26 weekend at the Eagle Mountain House and let me tell you it was undoubtedly one of the very best times we ever had. It was my fiancée’s birthday and I booked the “Fall in Love Again” package and according to her “it was the best gift I had ever given her”. And it seriously was too, everything was just so perfect: right from the reservation process which was very easy and the lady on the phone explained everything very nicely to me. What made it so nice was everything was just like what was explained while making the reservation. Also they were very adjusting as we needed little adjustments in the standard package which they were completely willing and happy to do. I booked about two weeks before and they upgraded us to a better room (with Mountain View) free of cost and before I even asked for it. Now to the visit, it started so wonderfully, the location in the quiet little village just next to the little stream river was breathtakingly beautiful. We were greeted by Greg and he was very cordial and explained everything very nicely to us. The room was very cozy and in accordance with the overall décor which was traditional old-school American and we just loved it (from the fire-places to the study to the ancient lift). The room was very clean and had everything we expected. The dinner was very nice with Erin (I hope I remember the name correctly) was very cheerful and made the experience all the better. The gaming, health and hot tub area was very nice, personal and clean. The next morning we had a complimentary breakfast which turned out to be a very pleasant surprise in terms of variety of options as well as quality of service and ambiance. Overall, this was a weekend which we both didn’t want to end and all thanks to Eagle Mountain House for making it such a special experience for us. Will be back very very soon!!!!!!

My wife and I stayed at this hotel over the Christmas holidays the staff are so friendly and helpful and could not do enough to make our stay fell like home from home. The hotel is full of history with charm and character.
The food both in the restaurant and in the tavern was excellent and good value. Rooms were clean and cosy with the creaky floor boards adding to it's charm.
We could not fault this hotel and it's loyal staff and will make a further visit from the UK this Christmas to this family friendly hotel.

Always wanted to stay in this historic hotel, and the snowless January brought on a special that we couldn't pass up. Enough snow on the ground to make a pretty setting, but not enough to bring the crowds of skiers. Loaded with grace and charm, this grand old hotel was wonderful. The restaurant was elegant and the food was delightful, the Wednesday night buffet a great buy. true, This is not the place for someone who needs Jacuzzi tubs and marble vanities, but if you enjoy the special feeling of a historic hotel, you must visit this one.
