Lodging
(Page updated: May 16th, 2006)
The Balsams
- Web site: http://www.thebalsams.com/
- We have reserved a block of rooms for wedding guests. We
have
also negotiated a discounted (but still rather expensive) "Bed and
Breakfast" rate, and a waiver of the usual multiple night minimum
stay. If you take the B & B rate you will be giving up lunch,
dinner, and use of the golf and tennis facilitates.
- The rooms are NOT air-conditioned, which hopefully will not be an
issue.
- Other than the lack of air-conditioning, this is definitely the
nicest option.
Notch View Country Inn and RV Resort
- Web site: http://www.notch-view.com/
- This may be the closest alternative to The Balsams. It is
mainly
an RV destination. However, it also has a single cabin and a
small 6
room inn.
- Bill took a brief tour after dark the first day we toured The
Balsams. It seemed reasonably clean, but they definitely pack as
many
beds as possible into each room. Most of the inn's rooms share
bathrooms, but it could be a good choice
for families. Especially if you had at least six people and could
book the entire inn.
Colebrook Country Club and Motel
- Web site: http://www.colebrookcountryclub.com/
- About 10 miles west of The Balsams (a roughly 25 minute
drive). One mile towards The Balsams from Colebrook
village.
- Bill took a brief tour after dark the first day we toured The
Balsams. He thinks it is a simple older motel which seemed
reasonably
clean. Unlike The Balsams, the rooms have air-conditioning.
- The Balsams lists this under "Other Accommodations" in their
wedding information packet.
- Innkeeper: Clayton Hinds
- Route 26, Colebrook, NH 03576
- Telephone: 603-237-5566
- 20 - 24 units
Northern Comfort Motel
- Web site: http://www.northerncomfortmotel.com/
- About 11 miles west of The Balsams. One mile south of
Colebrook village.
- The Balsams lists this under "Other Accommodations" in their
wedding information packet.
- Innkeeper: Jim Kenny
- Route 3, Colebrook, NH 03576
- Telephone: 603-237-4440

Diamond Peaks Motel and Country Store
- About 3.2 miles west of The Balsams.

wedding information packet.

Errol Motel
- This is 10 miles EAST instead of WEST of The Balsams.
- Errol, NH is much smaller than Colebrook. However, this
location
could make sense if you plan to drive through Errol instead of
Colebrook to reach The Balsams.

wedding information packet.
