- The Inn has just completed the renovation of a new guest lounge called the Bishop
Room. This
new eco-friendly designed room features a Harmon Pellet Stove, Natural Fiber
Upholstery as well as the new Benjamin Moore Low VOC Paints. Our guests will enjoy
a tranquil setting that makes this new addition a place you'll never want to leave.
In
the fall of 2004 the Ammonoosuc
Inn was rescued by the current chef/owner from Long Island, New York who fell in
love with the area and the Inn. She had been searching from Maine to
South Carolina for the perfect restaurant & inn to call home and finally
found it, nestled in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. She became the new
owner in December of 2004.
The Inn has undergone several major renovations since its purchase in
December, 2004. The latest major upgrades over the 2006/2007 winter have created
new room designs including the addition of many new Vermont Castings Gas
Fireplaces and a beautiful new Jacuzzi suite featuring a 120 sq. ft.
tiled bathroom with 2-person Jacuzzi underneath a 4' bay window offering amazing
views of the mountains and river valley.
These renovations have also created 3 room designs, each individually decorated
to ensure our guests the style and comfort they have come to expect from a
three-diamond Inn. Guest can choose from a standard room featuring country
pattern quilts and wallpaper to our classical rooms featuring beautiful crown
moldings and cornices with
Croscill bedding and drapes to our new southwest rooms featuring Thomasville
bedding and period artwork.
The
Future
We are constantly updating and
renovating every aspect of the Building, Property and Restaurants to ensure our
guests have the very best experience each and every time they visit. We fully
understand the cost and stress of traveling these days. Our mission is to
guarantee that once you arrive at the Ammonoosuc Inn and Country Club you’ll
agree that is was all worth it.
The
Past
The
Inn was originally built as the Bishop family Homestead and Barn in 1888. Enos
Bishop renovated the building in 1927 and converted it into what is now the
Ammonoosuc Inn. Property surrounding the Inn was cleared to make way for a new
golf course along the banks of the Ammonoosuc River. The Inn entertained
clientele arriving via train at the Sugar Hill Train Station from the Boston and
New York markets

New Hampshire To Do Magazine
June, 2005
New Hampshire is sprinkled with living heritage often dating back to the 1800’s.
Many of the grand inns and hotels from the early 1900’s were tragically lost
to fire or eventually torn down. On occasion our hearts are warmed when we hear
stories of an old theater or inn fully restored to earlier days of glory by new
owners. Such was the story of the Balsams - once nearly lost to the past and now
a New Hampshire gem. And such is the story of the Ammonoosuc Inn in Lisbon.

What a location.
The view from the Inn is marvellous and thankfully matched by the cuisine. We
stayed for 3 nights on a recent trip touring New England. The room was very
comfortable and spacious, well maintained. Ideal location for touring and after
a hard day behind the wheel an excellent base to relax, have a drink and sample
good food complimented by a decent wine list. Breakfast certainly sets you up
for the day - well recommended. If the location and food were not enough
Innkeeper, Peter and staff made it a joy to stay.

We six (three
generations) stayed at this idyllic little inn for the fall foliage. We were
lavished with Karen's exquisite cooking and the staff's generous hospitality for
three nights. Without doubt the highlight of our holiday to
New England.

stayed at the
Ammmonoosuc Inn for 2 days recently for a weekend to get away for some R &
R. I couldn't have picked a better place. My room was very clean and inviting,
with a gas burning fireplace, a large claw foot tub perfect for a soothing bath
and a view of the mountains. The food in the onsite restaurant is out of this
world! From my dinner of mahi-mahi to my breakfast of blueberry pancakes, it's
the special care Karen takes in creating all of her dishes that really comes
through. Karen and Peter make a great team, and I can see this being an even
better destination in the warmer months when guests can sit out on the wrap
around porch facing the mountains and the golf course.
