Lets see. I brought 84 8th graders on a trip with 5 adults. You can judge my sanity from that but the proprietors were kind and accommodating. Room were big and flat screen Tv's in room were ridiculously large. Food was solid as well. 10 minutes from Loon. I would stay again. And they have a carved bear in the lobby, enough said.

Just back in the U.K. from a great trip to Indian Head. We were there for 7 nights and had a really good time. Three of us shared the room which was spacious with 2 large beds, table and chairs, a huge flat screen TV, fridge, coffee maker. There was a large bathroom conveniently split in two with bath/shower and toilet in one part and wash basin and hanging space in the other. There was also a large balcony overlooking the lake which had Christmas lights round it which looked great at night. The room was clean, comfortable and services promptly each day.

The only small gripe about the room was the lack of storage space, just three draws and the hanging space in the bathroom. I got the impression that it caters for people who stay just 2 or 3 days and because we were there for a whole week we had to leave some of our clothes in our suitcases. Not really a problem, but a wardrobe would have been useful.

We had a hire car & could park close to our room. The location was great for access to both the Loon Mountain and Cannon ski areas and we enjoyed some good skiing. There were also some good shopping opportunities in Lincoln.

We didn't use the indoor pool, but the outdoor pool and hot tub were great to use in the freezing January temperatures.

We were on the meal plan so ate in the hotel every day and the food was very good. The breakfasts were substantial & set us up for the day. The dinners were good and we usually had our desserts "to go", put them in our fridge and ate them when we got back from the ski slopes the following day.

The staff were all very friendly and helpful, making us feel very welcome.

Altogether a good experience and we are considering a return trip next year.

My sister and I brought my 5 year old son up to Lincoln for some holiday fun. We got tickets to the Polar Express out of Lincoln so Indian Head was very convenient. We booked a standard room with 2 full beds. We arrived on friday afternoon at 3pm and were able to check in an hour early. They had a lot of christmas decorations in the lobby, including a huge (like 6 feet tall) gingerbread house. When i had booked online i had written a request to be given a room as close to the pool as possible. it was a bit commical when the room we were given was the very last room, furthest from the pool. We were able to park right in front of our first floor room. My first impression of the room was good. It was really big, and had a nice large balcony overlooking the pond. The room had a flat screen TV and refridgerator. The bathroom was nice, with a separate area for the sink/dressing area. The room wasn't anything fancy, but it was fairly updated and clean which was more than I could say about our last stay in the cottages. the beds were comfy, and the stay was quiet. We really enjoyed our stay at IHR. The outdoor pool and hot tub in December was a hit. It was fun to be soaking in the hot tub at night when it was only 10 degrees outside. The indoor pool was fine also. my son liked the game room. My only complaint about the hotel was we stayed until Monday morning but the maid didn't clean our room Sunday. I think there may have been some confusion about our checkout.
As nice as the hotel was, the restaurant was bad. We did the meal plan for one day only (dinner and breakfast) since we were planning to be there Friday night anyways. it opens at 5:00pm and we got there at that time. There were several other families already seated who needed to make a 6:30 polar express ride. We noticed that everything was soooo slow. All of the families around us had to leave before dessert in order to make their train. Really there is no reason that dinner should take over an hour. The staff seem a little less than quality. i asked the hostess if they would be having a breakfast buffet the following day and she had no clue. She asked the kitchn and they didn't know either. really?! With the meal plan you get an appitizer, meal, dessert, and a soda. I wouldn't have expected much but they had all of these signs and ads saying they are award winning, thei chef is top notch etc. Well, maybe he didn't work that weekend because the food is pretty bad. I ordered buffalo fingers for my app. They were those pressed nuggets dredged in hot sauce. My meal arrived. Chicken parm! It looked good, although small. If I had paid the $16 they charge for it i would be kinda irked. i took a few bites and it was really good. Then...i took a bit from the middle and it was raw!! Like, pink really raw. The manager was super nice about it and offered a replacement. i ordered a turkey dinner to go. i munched on that later in the room...it was less than good. The breakfast buffet was just average...typical scrambled eggs, muffins, bagels, bacon, waffles, pancakes etc. no complaints but no real props either. Long story short...avoid dinner. If they claim to be award winning culinary experts then they really need to step it up.
I would definately stay at the hotel again...but eat dinner at a restaurant down in N. Woodstock Center with a school theme.

Stayed for 4 nights here, what a great place, location perfect, we skied cannon and loon. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff all very helpful. Food was amazing value and the hot tub at 7pm when it's 7F is a great experience. I will be back in february and can't wait.
