"Brilliant location on a riverbank! This historic inn would never today have permission to be so sited, with rocky rapids right below our room's balcony."

Annex rooms include refrigerators and private river view balconies. Office hours are 7 AM - 10 PM. After hours, the Innkeeper can be reached at (774) 217-2711 for emergencies.
“The Wayside Inn's riverside views and proximity to the White Mountains make it a potentially appealing base. However, it seems the inn needs significant TLC to reach its full potential, as some rooms suffer from uneven floors and cleanliness issues. For travelers prioritizing location and not perfection, it might suffice, but be aware that it may not live up to all expectations.”
