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.

• About 10 miles west of The Balsams (a roughly 25 minute drive).  One mile towards The Balsams from Colebrook village.
