The property is very old. It needs to be updated. Our porch was sketchy lots of soft spots in the floor. Also the railings were very rickety. I definitely would not lean on it.
We enjoyed our stay at Indian Head Resort. The rooms were spacious, beds were comfortable. The mountain views and pool were amazing. The restaurant had great food; flatbreads, burgers, salads and soups were all delicious. Would love to go back one day.
Would have been nice to have a server by the pool or at least have a closer area from the pool to go order your drinks. Had to walk up a steep staircase to get to the bar.
Chairs at the pool were not the most comfortable to sit or lay on.
Other than that the rooms were comfortable and grounds were beautiful
Room was 4 out of 10 rated, bathroom door was coming of the top hinge so door would not close you lift it up, door knob didn’t lock, closet door was dropped of the track, the first morning we woke up and went out, house keeping cape to clean room they made bed put clean towels but didn’t vacuum at all, talked to the front desk about the problem I was having but he didn’t seem to feel bad about or apologize for the problem, he sent someone to fix the problem and only kind of fixed hinged problem, the next morning we went out house keeping came and put clean towels but this time beds weren’t even made they just threw the covers in the bed like they didn’t even care about anything, pool was poorly maintained, the list goes on I can’t say I won’t go back to Lincoln NH because I do like the mountains and river but I can say that Indian head won’t be getting my money anymore, very displeased with everything.
We arrived late and we’re thankful that the pool was open until 10pm. Check-in and check-out were a breeze.
This is a great location for families as there seems to be a lot of activities. Nevertheless, as 2 friends on a road trip, the location was quiet, the beds were comfortable and it was perfect for a 1 night stay while driving to our final location.
We were even told that we could stay the day after checking out if we wanted to use the pool.
The spa is the only negative thing. Since there were so many children in it, the water wasn’t clear.

Clean room. Dislike had room across the street from pool and second to last room from the end of the building. Once in the room gave the feeling of being in a basement. Landscaping could be an improvement. They should get a weed trimmer and leave blower. Still had piles of leaves from the fall. Doesn ’t give a resort feel. If you have bad knees do not get room in the annex. Only sun umbrellas at the pool were at tables, none at chairs. Likes nice views of the mountains.
I think a waitress for around the pools would be convenient and helpful when your kids are swimming. Trying to get food and beverages can take a while due to the bartenders, overwhelmed.
A great place to pass the time or a quick getaway to the mountains. Lovely views and great amenities to entertain the family. Cute gift shop and great view of the river while eating in the restaurant. Nice atmosphere, local music and friendly staff. Room was very nice, updated w an electric fireplace, Bluetooth speaker, fridge and microwave. Better than I expected when I arrived.
Everything was great! The little stream in the back was fun to go in. I do wish there were fish to catch tho. Other than the lack of fish it was an amazing experience!
I love the Indian Head Resort. We had issues with the car and arrived a day later and had to add another day last minute, but the staff was understanding, helpful and accomodatedour needs so that we did not have to checkout then check back in. They have the best view in Lincoln and I love that they have the bottomless coffee station very early in the morning.
Very clean and located at a beautiful and good location. Has both indoor and outdoor pool & hot tub. Has amazing breakfast and good dinner on site. Paddle boats were fun too. Would 100% stay here again.
We went for a girls weekend and it was as relaxing as we hopped. The pool was great! We got a great tan. The staff were friendly and helpful. The view of the mountain was absolutely beautiful and the pond on the property was also a great feature.
Great location pool and hot tub great customer service excellent very helpful staff it is so close to so many attractions and so much to do will be back to stay here again.
