I would rate this property, generally speaking, as average because some things could have been a little cleaner (ex. The bedroom rug needs to be cleaned.) I was a little disappointed when the in room coffee maker didn’t work.

The Inn was great! A little older but had great charm! Staff was very friendly and helpful! Sat at the bar and visited, didn’t eat at the restaurant but the food looked and smelled delicious!
Had a cute little pantry for the guests!

Our experience at the Inn was remarkable. If you are looking for a central place to go and explore the area, this is it. The owners and the staff were exceptional. Anything that we needed was addressed immediately. The food at the attached restaurant was second to none. The Independence Inn has old world charm and New World management which makes it the perfect place to stay and enjoy the beautiful New Hampshire foliage or any of the many other interests that the area has to offer. I would recommend The Independence Inn to anyone. We hope to return again soon and look forward to seeing the owners again. Thank you all for your hospitality!

We liked the location which was close to an event we attended in Lee. The restaurant Heartwood was nice, the service was great as was the food. The "contactless" check-in was easy. However, the service at the Inn was non-existent. When we arrived I checked out the kitchenette as it was for use by all the guests but it was sorely lacking supplies On arrival, there were three bagels on a covered tray and the stock of coffee and tea was low. The next morning none of the amenities had been restocked. The bagels were still sitting there from the day before and nothing fresh had been added. Some of the guests used the last of the coffee. There was a coffee maker in our room but no coffee. I texted the innkeeper and asked them to bring some. I never got a response and no one ever showed up to restock or clean. The trash in the kitchenette looked like it hadn't been emptied in over a day. There were no paper towels and the toaster and microwave needed to be cleaned. We toasted one of the bagels and the toaster oven started to smoke from all the crumbs in it. Our room was clean but the fridge had remnants of food/trash from previous guests in it. The lack of response or even the presence of the Innkeeper or any staff was concerning.

Tucked away in a rural area back in the woods. Tranquil surroundings. This is a very rustic but very cute establishment. I couldn't participate in any activities they offered or eat at the restaurant. I stayed "one night," checked in around 2 AM & checked out around 8 AM. I highly recommend trying this place if you're not looking for a hot breakfast, pool, fitness center, etc... or the high cost of a hotel with all the amenities you probably won't use. The bathroom is very small. The shower is tiny but adequate for one person.
