Independent Upton hotels

"I stayed in the "tree top"building at the right rear of the property. It is well maintained, very clean, and has lots of hot water with good pressure for the shower. Comfortable queen bed. Plenty of blankets, towels, tissue paper, coffee maker, etc. I do have two minor complaints: Room #6 had an additional bunk bed with a angled 2"X6" leg that stuck out quite a ways. As such it is a "toe stubber," that got my right foot twice. Ow! :( The re-fridge had not been defrosted in quite a while, so the freezer compartment was completely filled with frost. I was unable to use it to refreeze my cooler packs. Otherwise, it was an thrifty, excellent stay, and I highly recommend it. "

"Our bedroom was super clean, as were the other shared areas of the house. Breakfast was excellent, very tasty, and made to order. The property outdoors was beautiful with great views of nature, and my wife and I were allowed to walk down into the woods across the street to enjoy some quiet time sitting by a placid river. To top it all off, our hosts were always cordial and accommodating. We would definitely recommend staying here!"

"You should tell people in advance when hot tub not operable. We hiked alot, needed it and driving 7 miles to Jordan house was not what we wanted. We would have simply stayed at Jordan house!"

"Great spot. Up for the Tough Mountain race. Easy walk to South Ridge lodge. Would stay again for sure! Best rate in the area!"

"This has been our favorite hotel of the Sunday River area. We went in August and they had the pool at probably 94F, easy to walk in and relax for a while. Each night they had a nice diy drink setup with instructions. Each night the outdoor fire place was going - one night was marshmallows to roast.. the other night full on smores. Internet was fast. The room clean and quiet. Beds were spring mattresses which were hard to get used to from home. Front desk guy was very friendly and helpful. Valet guy was very friendly and helpful. Definitely check out the restaurant at the golf course for dinner if the weather is nice.. it is close and has a great view. The sauna and steam room were fun for my kids to try. I think the biggest weakness is just that the hotel is far from food options in the summer. Not every restaurant is open in the summer, and it's a 20 minute drive to Bethel where there are a lot of options but tend to be more expensive. We are a pretty small family, but the restaurants around the area seem to fine with splitting entrees for us to save money and not waste food. Definitely check out the gem museum, in bethel, they have some of the world's largest collections of moon and Mars rocks."

"This booking was part of a longer trip. We were only there for one night but we did have a very nice stay. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. The area was also beautiful with views of mountain ranges in sight. I would definitely come back again."
