Golden Eagle Lodge

My wife and I stayed at Golden Eagle Lodge for the weekend and it was fabulous! We arrived a couple of hours early, but Gina at the front desk looked up our room to see if it was ready, and it was. We were in room 302 and we loved it! Gina told us that it was recently renovated by the owner of the unit and it was wonderful. There is a queen bed with bunk beds in the bedroom, a full kitchen with all new appliances and a wonderful living room with a nice couch and chairs in front of the TV, with local channels and a Fire TV setup with Netflix, Prime TV, etc. The view of the mountains from the room was very nice. There is an air conditioner in the bedroom that we never used because it was so nice and comfortable with the windows open day and night. We did use the indoor pool and it was nice, but a bit on the cool side. We have been coming to Waterville Valley for years and have stayed at Golden Eagle a few times. The Freedom Pass gives you so many options in the summer from mountain bikes, paddle boats, chair lift rides up Snow's Mountain, golf at the 9 hole course and of course the Athletic Club with the indoor and outdoor pools.

Stayed in room 400. The room is updated, well-stocked, and has excellent views! Its a corner unit so it was also pretty quiet. Would highly recommend. Just a short walk to hiking trails, the athletic club, and the town square.

We spent 3 nights in Condo 307 at this lodge. The condo is very spacious, attractive, clean with good amenities. Very good bed. Very well-equipped kitchen. Daily room cleaning and towel changes. The only down-side is that the flat screen TV is small - not important to us as we are in the mountains for the fall color and hiking outdoors. Service is friendly. The only minor area for improvement is that the staff might not answer the phone and one have to leave a message. The lodge common area is excellent. The ground is very nice and spacious. The location is excellent, only steps away across a bridge over a small lake to the Town Center. There is a very nice path through the wood next to brook where we took a walk every morning enjoying the fall color. The atmosphere of Waterville is very quiet and relaxing. It is not far from many excellent hiking places, only half an hour drive from Franconia Notch. We enjoyed our day hike on the trail to Mount Lafayette. Overall, an excellent choice of accommodation for us.
