Guest Reviews
- Melanie (8/5): We were very pleased with everything but the bugs lol - Liked the location very beautiful area. Breakfast was amazing your cook an amazing very polite staff. Second night had issues with lots of ladybugs and hornets in room when we returned from our outing.
- scott (10/5): - Bruce was very nice and accommodating. Breakfast was excellent. 60 + acres of beautiful private property. No issues
- Patricia (10/5): - Bruce one of the owners was very attentive and very friendly.
- Abbie (10/5): - Beautiful and peaceful. Bruce was awesome and the bathroom was even furnished with a hair diffuser! It’s the little things.
- Odette (5/5): My daughter went to the Fryeburg fairshe loved it - I like the location that it was close to the fair grounds fair. The breakfast was awesome I didn't like the scenery to get there deep in the woods kind of a haunted type scene. The rooms smelled dusty and moldy like it was not cleaned properly. It was not worth 429 a night it was way over priced was not happy
- Santos (10/5): -
- Haewon (10/5): - Beautiful property well maintained and friendly staff members
- Daulton (10/5): - The suite was beautiful, and the breakfast was unmatched.
- Karen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nicolas (9/5): Superb -
- Peter (9/5): Superb - Breakfast was great every morning. We love the tranquility. We arrived after dark. Lighting and signage is poor for the entry to the property. We got lost briefly!
- Kathrin (5/5): Passable - Very quiet space, breakfast top Dusty. The water in my room smelled like metal, could not use it.
- Mady (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gillian (8/5): Perfect location to everything you could need for all the seasonal fun!! Absolutely gorgeous grounds, we can’t wait to v - The Inn is in the perfect location, very well up-kept, extremely clean, you can tell it’s a labor of love💜 So many things inside to look at but in no way overwhelming or cluttered. The dining room is gorgeous, and a delicious breakfast is cooked to order and served with a fresh cinnamon roll and fresh seasonal fruit. The little touches go a long way. We had a lovely stay and will be back. I would love to see that magnificent fire place roar to life! I honestly don’t have a true complaint as there was not anything I did not like. I do have a bad back and the bed left me a little sore though.
- Anonymous (10/5): relaxing and comfortable stay for only a couple of days- - great location the one lane access road- quite narrow and heaved from recent snow and cold
- Josephine (10/5): Charming and Friendly - Super cute Inn with lots of charm and friendly people!
- Nancy (10/5): - Would love to visit in the summer. Very spacious and cute loft. Was able to use futon for 2 kids. Had dinner at the dinning facilities and it was excellent. Beautiful venue for large gatherings, weddings… etc
- Bernard (10/5): - It is exactly what a country inn should be! Charming and the innkeepers, Jon and Bruce are terrific. All the details are thought out to make your stay memorable. Perfect setting!
- Lisa-Jo (10/5): - Best waffle i've ever had in my life. Relaxing, beautiful and cozy.
- Eileen (8/5): Very good -
- Teal (9/5): Superb -
- David (9/5): Nice location, comfortable stay and very good value. Nice place to relax after a long day. - Location was great place to be after a day at the Fryeburg Fair. Went to dinner at the adjacent new large wedding venue building. The fried wonton appetizer was very tasty as was my meal the short rib. My wife's sirloin tips were tough. The red wine cake dessert was excellent too. BTW, the Old Fashions were excellent as well. Rooms are quite dated, but clean, comfortable and quiet. The property is rather large with some walking trails. Beware - you'll be walking through lots of poison ivy. Lots of sprucing up to do at the property regarding painting, landscaping and the like - however, i wouldn't say it was a negative or a distraction - just an observation.
- Sheila (2/5): - No one there when got there. Had to leave and come back. Room was not cleaned properly. Garbage can still full. Coffee pod still in coffee maker. Hair on the shower tiles. Wondered what wasn’t cleaned properly.
- Hamid Reza (10/5): - It’s awesome.
- Elizabeth (10/5): - We loved this place! So quiet and a beautiful place to relax. The breakfast was amazing and Bruce was so friendly and informative of the area. Would love to come back here!!!
- James (10/5): - Private and quiet setting
- John (10/5): Exceptional -
- Teri (10/5): - I got a flat tire as I was leaving for a funeral. The owner was kind enough to drive us to the service and assisted with getting us a mechanic to look at our car when AAA took over 2 hours to respond. They could not have been more accommodating. The breakfast was delicious and the inn was wonderful. Couldn't recommend the inn any more
- Carole (10/5): - Looking forward to returning.
- Michael (10/5): Beyond our expectations - My wife and I stayed at the Old Saco in on a recent anniversary trip in the area and we really loved the place. The pictures and descriptions do not do it justice, it is a very nice and well run Inn. The 2 owners were very genuine, helpful and nice and we enjoyed getting to know them briefly. The rooms were nice, clean and comfortable. The dining room was cozy and comfortable and a fun place to hang out. They also have a small pub right off of the dining room area and it is really cute. We definitiely recommend the Old Saco Inn and will be coming back!
- Jeffry (2/5): - No room was available when we arrived, despite a confirmed reservation. The owner didn't really seem to care. Most places nearby were already sold out, making it difficult and time consuming to sort out.
- Nathan (10/5): - A little out of the way 30 minutes from Conway. Few restaurant options off season. But this is a one of a kind place. Attention to details. Great owners. Great breakfast. Quiet serene. If you like a unique lodging experience and can take some peace of mind, you will love it.
- mark (10/5): - just wonderfull
- Edward (10/5): Nice - Wish We could stay another night!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very beautiful inn and the property is huge. It has trails, river for kayaking, golf.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location, away from the traffic. Owners were super nice. Room was clean and very comfortable. Delicious breakfast each morning!
- Leo (10/5): - Only issue was staff was not always available. No ice machine readily available. Room wonderful. Breakfast excellent. Atmosphere was so peaceful.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The main Inn is very cool. There is a separate little pub off the dining area and a large fireplace in the center of dining room. A library above accessible by spiral staircase.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We absolutely loved the Old Saco Inn! We have traveled a lot and this place is up there amongst some of our favourite places we have ever stayed. We stayed at the Inn for 4 nights and skied at Shawnee Peak which was around 10-15mins away. Bruce and John (and Izzy the dog!) were lovely and such great hosts. The breakfast was amazing and we felt really at home during our stay. We also ate at the Bistro, the food was great along with good cocktails too. We plan to come back here during the summertime as we can't wait to show our friends and family this wonderful gem. Highly highly recommend.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Bruce and Jon were wonderful and attentive hosts. We were very pleased with the facilities - their new barn/restaurant is beautiful. We would recommend the Old Saco Inn for a relaxing getaway. Thank you Bruce and Jon!
- Shabnam (8/5): - Cute inn with great food! Innkeepers were very friendly. We would definitely go back.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The place is very cozy, and charming. Barn looks great, there’s a library and many coaches to hang out by the fire!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This is such a cute place, romantic, secluded, peaceful and beautiful. John and Bruce are the best hosts someone could ask for.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Overall nice and the hosts are super friendly but I cannot give 5 stars as there was a dead bug. Plus, the refrigerator in the room was too loud to have a good sleep.
- Michael (10/5): - Fantastic, super clean, quiet, and Relaxing. We will be back
- Susan (10/5): 5 star! - The Inn is beautiful, the staff was fabulous and the food was excellent! A quiet and serene atmosphere!!
- Christine (10/5): - The owners couldn't be any nicer & more accommodating! I can't wait to get back. The new barn & dinner was amazing! Truly a gem property.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The location was awesome, setback in the woods, in a scenic area. Breakfast was awesome, and cooked to order. Staff very helpful and friendly. My son and I were up to do some snowmobiling, and it was great.
- Dan (10/5): - Great inn with a very good restaurant, bar, and exceptional service and hospitality.
- Kimberly (10/5): Lovely stay! - Adorable Inn....Very close to Shawnee Peak. Great service and very friendly staff. Super clean and Quaint. Will be back!
- Kerri (10/5): Perfection!! - Can’t say enough about finding this little gem in the woods! Perfect on so many levels. Planning our next trip back!!
- Kim (10/5): - Drove all over New England trying to locate the perfect small inn. Walked in here and didn’t want to ever leave. The restaurant and food was amazing, and the pub was fantastic. After spending 20 minutes there we felt like family. The rooms were excellent and meticulously cleaned. Warm, cozy bed and an amazing shower to top it all off. We live 1500 miles away and are already making plans to go back. You honestly need to go check this place out, if you are looking for a beautiful, romantic place to spend some time this is the place !!
- Lori (10/5): - Comfortable with a nice view and gracious host
- Sharon (10/5): - Bruce and Jon were fantastic. Inn is beautiful. We stayed in the Lexington - spacious and comfortable. We will be back !
- Heather (10/5): - Absolutely beautiful property and amazing staff!! We will be back next year!
- Kaye (10/5): Want to go back - The Inn Keepers/owners were outstanding, food was fabulous and overall excellent experience!
- Angela (10/5): New England Trip - Absolutely fabulous! A great place to unwind and relax with the most attentive hosts!
- Rich (10/5): Our wonderful stay at The Old Saco Inn - This was the first time that my wife and I have had an extended stay at a B&B. I don't think that we could have made a better choice. Our hosts, John and Bruce, were fabulous. They contacted me ahead of time to provide helpful, extra details. This was our first visit to Maine, and they gave us all the information and insights they could on how to spend our days. The location is beautiful. The room was nice with an Amazon Dot to provide anything you needed from Alexa. I thought that was a really nice amenity. The breakfast was outstanding. John cooks up made to order meals that are creative and delicious. The blueberry pancakes, fresh fruit and whipped cream were the perfect start to my day. The Old Saco Inn is secluded, but you are less than an hour's drive from anything you would want to go and do. North Conway N.H. and the White Mountains are 30 minutes west, and it's less than an hour to Portland or Freeport to the east. The Saco River is great and there are several other nearby lakes to enjoy as well as small towns with wonderful shops and treats to enjoy. Our only regret was that we were not around in the evening to enjoy a dinner at the inn. The menu looked terrific and the main lodge was always packed when we returned. I don't know if our travels will bring us back to Maine again, but if they do, we will return to The Old Saco Inn. John and Bruce are in the process of building a wedding barn on sight that will be incredible. We look forward to seeing pictures soon.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The hosts were fantastic and the food wonderful. We will be back.
- Rachel (10/5): Old Saco Inn Rocks - Great experience!
- Beth (10/5): - The owners, Jon and Bruce were friendly and welcoming the moment we arrived. My mom and I had the best time and wished we could stay longer. The Inn was beautiful.
- AutumH (10/5): - Lovely inn, with great location on the river. Extremely affable and accommodating hosts and staff. Great food and ambiance. We look forward to a return visit!
- Duncan (10/5): Great hosts, breakfasts & peaceful surroundings - Our stay was thoroughly enjoyable. Bruce and Jon were wonderful, engaging hosts. One would be hard pressed to know that they have only owned the Inn for about 9 months...they are naturals as hosts, making us feel part of their extended family during our stay. The breakfasts were our kind of comfort food and were hearty enough to take us well into the day as we enjoyed the Fryeburg Fair. We only wish that we had stayed long enough to enjoy one or more of their evening meals! The grounds are peaceful and their plans for expansion, which were in the initial phases of construction while we were there, will be perfectly suited to accommodating weddings and other large functions. Our room (Sweden Suite), was comfortable and especially welcoming at the end of a long day of roaming around at the Fryeburg Fair. We will be back!
- Linda (10/5): Great Stay at Old Saco Inn - Great room. Great dinner and brunch. Very laid back place and enjoyed our stay very much. This was the second time we stayed at The Old Saco Inn
- Kelly (10/5): - On the Old Saco river, they have complimentary kayaks, paddles, and life vests. Very comfortable atmosphere. The restaurant was delicious (available on the weekends), breakfast (included) was excellent. There is a small pub on site, as well. They have local beers on tap, as well as a decent selection of bottled beer. We will return!
- Deborah (10/5): - cozy, welcoming staff, good food, good view, comfortable bed
- Nina (10/5): Great place to relax and unwind! - What a wonderful place! We loved everything here...from the long and winding road to the eclectic restaurant, our spotless, spacious room, our hosts, the food, the flowers, the area...can't say enough about this hidden gem. Its a laid back place with a great vibe, and Bruce and Jon were so warm and welcoming...it was like being with old friends. We've been home 1 day and are already planning our next visit!
- Al (10/5): Excellence in Lodging. - We only stayed one night, we were in town for family matters. Had no expectations, though the pictures looked nice. It is remote, but only 20 or so minutes from North Conway and it's shopping and touristy activities. Take it from us, it is worth the drive. We upgraded to a suite, and what beautiful accommodations. Roomy, spotless, tastefully decorated. Superb. The hosts Bruce and John were super. My only regret is not dining there, as the food looked and smelled fantastic. The complimentary breakfast was perfect, and delicious. The Pub was a dynamic mix of guests and such a great time, followed by a campfire. I only wish we could have stayed longer. We cannot wait to return.
- David (10/5): beautiful and secluded hotel with everything - John and Bruce were always on sight, super hospitable and great chefs
- Lynn (10/5): Awesome Accommodations - Wonderful hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. Located on a river with kayaks available at no additional charge. The food is absolutely amazing!! Rooms very comfortable. I can't wait to return!
- Lori (10/5): So glad we found this place! - We loved The Old Saco Inn! The new Innkeepers are fantastic, we very much enjoyed meeting John! Such a pretty location, down a winding country road. Very comfortable, great pub. We enjoyed the breakfast by a crackling fire. We will definitely be back!
- Rick (10/5): - Brian & Jon we’re wonderful hosts. Immaculately maintained property.
- jean (10/5): Loved - So peaceful. What a beautiful location! Did not know what to expect when booking on line. Very surprised and happy. Will go back.
- Peter (6/5): - In fairness, the property was great, clean and very well maintained. Our issue was with the booking procedures. We booked one room for two, and another for three ... but were not aware of the $30 surcharge for the third person in one room (above the premium we paid for the room that accommodates 3x guests). Made for an uncomfortable start with owners of the property ... asking us for an additional $30 at check in. The place was beautiful, just wish that one issue wasn't "hanging over" our stay. So please be aware of 3rd and 4th person surcharges at time of booking.
- Macy (10/5): Lovely quiet getaway - Old Saco Inn is located about 7 miles from Fryeburg ME. We stayed in the Sweden Suite. It was a large room with gigantic bathroom and huge tub We had a private deck that overlooked the driving range and back yard. The innkeepers were very friendly and served a fabulous breakfast. There is a small pub for the guests. It opens as a restaurant for dinner on the weekends but we were not there to enjoy that. It was very warm when we were there and there is no air conditioning but the room had skylights and windows that opened as well as windows. If you stay in that suite be sure to close the door to the bathroom when showering as the steam will set off the smoke detector!
- Nicholas (10/5): Fantastic Stay at the Beautiful Old Saco inn - One of the best getaways we have ever had. Incredibly beautiful and secluded location, room and amenities. I've already recommended the location to several friends and family members, and plan to go back in the future. The Sweden room was also a huge plus as it has a huge tri-oval tub that could easily fit 2-3 people. They offer free use of kayaks and canoes from their launch on the Saco river. There is also a very well maintained driving range on the property.
- Jeffrey (10/5): Lovely country inn - Helpful and friendly couple running the inn, secluded setting on the Saco River with wooded property.
- Josee (10/5): great private setting by the old saco river - Great family get away. Nice calm kayaking on the old saco river was beautiful. Pete and Sandi were great at making everything perfect. They even made a bond fire for the kids to grill some marshmallows, they loved it! Thank you for a great experience!!! We definitely recommend it.
- Verified traveler (10/5): AMAZING TIME AT THE OLD SACO INN - The stay was amazing! From golfing to kayaking and canoeing!!! Loved the Sweden Suite!!!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Quiet, peaceful, close to the White Mountains - Highly recommend this quintessential New England B & B. Our hosts were welcoming, friendly but not overly intrusive. Rooms were very clean and quiet. Peaceful setting on the Saco River. Close to many hiking trails and The White Mountains.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Can't wait to go back! - Pete and Sandy are excellent hosts. The property is beautiful. Breakfast delicious.
- shawn (10/5): - Love the old Saco inn will be coming back
- Cassie (10/5): Would move in tomorrow if they'd let me. - I loved my stay at The Old Saco Inn. The Inn was gorgeous. The surrounding scenery was beautiful. My husband & I stayed in Heather's Loft (in the Carriage House). We had our own private deck. The room was large & the bed was very comfortable. Pete & Sandi were wonderful hosts. Pete suggested local hikes & scenic drives. Sandi started off our days with a delicious breakfast. Since I don't think they're going to let me move in, I'm definitely going to visit again.
- Britney (4/5): - We stayed at the inn for our 5 year wedding anniversary. The ground keepers were super nice and accommodating, and the breakfast was good. But overall we will probably not return. After reading reviews we were under the impression we were only 15 minutes from North Conway, it took about 35 minutes to get there from the hotel. So if you're looking to be close to North Conway this may not be the place for you. The bed was very stiff, we both woke up with sore backs the next day, and the bathroom tub squeaked every time you took a step in it, along with the faucet handle falling off. It just wasn't the place for us.
- Ed (10/5): Excellent Location, Great Breakfast - Very quiet. Great Breakfast, which is different each day Dinner on Friday & Saturday nights 1 hour from Mount Washington in New Hampshire and Ski areas in the winter Lots of places to explore. 90 minutes from Portland Maine Good for large families or family reunions.
- margaret (10/5): Peaceful retreat in a lovely setting - Lovely, quiet retreat near but not in the bustle of North Conway. Beautiful grounds and garden located right on river. We were warmly greeted by Sandy who explained all amenities. Sadly, we did not have time to canoe or use the putting green. Room was light and large with a private balcony. Breakfasts were yummy and we especially enjoyed eating by the lovely perennial border entertained by a hummingbird.
- Joseph (8/5): Y'all come back now, hear! - Arrived and were cordially met by Sandi, one of the Innkeepers. Given a tour of the main lodge and shown our spacious and comfortable room. Bathroom to die for!!! Met Pete, the other Innkeeper-owner the next morning as we sauntered to the dining room for breakfast. Pleasant gentleman and between he and Sandi, we had a very good breakfast of home made French Toast, real maple syrup, perfectly cooked bacon and an assortment of fresh fruit. Had a pleasant conversation with Pete about his and Sandi's foray into the world of hotelery. Very informative! We were allowed the courtesy of a late checkout and upon doing so, we were granted the use of a canoe for a little self-propelled trip down and up on the Old Saco River. Very scenic and lush. Shallow water and virtually no current to contend with. All-in-all, a perfect stay in a quasi-rustic Inn with great amenities, run by very capable and friendly Innkeepers. Would we return again? You betcha!
- Van (10/5): Great Stay - Wonderful stay at the Old Saco Inn. Beautiful and peaceful location close to lots of activities. Owners really go out of their way to take care of you

- Verified traveler (10/5): Comfortable spot off the beaten track - Enjoyable spot for a business trip in the area. Only disadvantage is the long trip to town for dinner. Wonderful breakfast and friendly owners
