We return to Arnold’s House year after year, and somehow each stay is even better than the last. The staff is truly exceptional—so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. From the moment we walk in, they make us feel right at home. It’s always such a joy to be recognized at the door, and we’re consistently touched by the thoughtful, personalized touches—whether it’s a small gift or even a surprise upgrade. This year was especially memorable. They remembered from last year that we were celebrating our daughter’s birthday and went above and beyond with room decorations, cookies, and candles waiting for her. They even treated her to a special dessert at the tavern, which made her feel so celebrated. A special mention to Will, who our kids absolutely adore and always remember—he truly makes our visits extra special. We are already looking forward to returning for spring break and again in the summer—especially now that they’ve added a pool!

The Arnold House was a wonderful winter weekend getaway. John was so hospitable and went out of his way to accommodate us during our stay. The tavern had excellent food, drinks and atmosphere. We enjoyed playing board games, making s’mores, snowshoeing and the sauna during our stay. The room was cozy and they provided a great spread for breakfast. Would recommend booking your stay!

Loved our stay at Arnold House! We went for a winter weekend away and had such a relaxing, cozy time. The staff were incredible and made the experience so comfortable! We booked the winter spa getaway and I had an incredibly relaxing massage right on site. The Tavern is so cozy and the staff were so friendly. We loved the afternoon cookies and sitting by the fire. Thank you Arnold House!

We had a fantastic snowy weekend at The Arnold House during the big snow storm in January 2026. Will, the General Manager, gave us the option of rescheduling for another weekend or getting snowed in at the hotel, and we chose the latter. It was a great decision. He was incredibly accommodating and fun to chat with. The room was cute and although it got a bit chilly (since it's an old building and it was -5 degrees outside), Will gave us a space heater that made it totally comfortable. The hotel itself is really cozy. Genuinely the perfect place to have a snowy weekend. We took the complementary snowshoes out on the trails, ate well in the tavern downstairs, and kept the fires well-stoked. We will be coming back, and recommend that you do too!

The Arnold House and Foster Supply staff helped us to accomplish the wedding weekend of our dreams! Not only did they go above and beyond for us, we feel like we made friends with them along the way. It was inspiring to see how the staff embodies hospitality from the warm greetings to the last-minute problem solving. We felt safe and taken care of during our entire wedding weekend. In planning, they listened to us and helped us realize our vision for our wedding, not just what they had done in the past. It feels like each wedding they do is unique to the couple. Let's also not forget the FOOD. Our guests said it was the best wedding food they ever had. Chef Brit is a phenomenal talent. She was so accommodating to our dietary restrictions and provided delicious options for everyone. We don't think we could have found a better venue option for us in the area or anywhere else. We absolutely recommend the Arnold House for a wedding weekend or an overnight stay. We plan on visiting here for many years to come!

My family and I just stayed at The Arnold House and had the best time! My child did not want to leave! The grounds are gorgeous, the rooms spotless, beds are so comfortable and every single staff member was beyond gracious and kind. I am excited to come back in the summer when the pool is open!

Our stay at the Arnold house was lovely. From the texts leading up to our stay and upon our arrival, the staff ( especially will) were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely accommodating. Every member of the staff was so kind, each going out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. We decided to bring our dog last minute and they made her feel at home with dog bowls and a bed in the room. Most of the rooms are dog-friendly, and the entire property is set up in a way that truly embraces dogs rather than just allowing them. The restaurant is absolutely adorable — cozy, warm, and full of charm. The food and drinks were excellent. The ambiance in the main room with a fire crackling almost 24/7 with comfy seats and cozy blankets made the whole experience feel like a perfect winter retreat. We read in that room with our dog both days for hours. Beyond relaxing. The rooms themselves could use a little tweaking stylistically to make them feel a bit cozier, but we also understand they’re intentionally designed with dogs in mind, which means no carpeting and certain choices to keep everything clean and durable. It didn’t take away from the stay at all. The beds are also super comfortable!! We left feeling relaxed, cared for, and already excited to come back! Highly recommend, especially if you’re traveling with a pup.

Found this place by chance, tavern is open odd hours 12-3 on weekends, 4-9 on weekdays, but very cool spot. Pool table, good music, nice people. Lesser known to the general public. Out back there is a beautiful space. Haven’t stayed here but would consider it. Definitely coming back

We had our wedding at The Arnold House and could not have imagined a more perfect weekend. From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond — every detail was handled with such care, and the entire team made the experience feel effortless. The property is beautiful in every season — cozy, natural, and full of character — and it created the most relaxed, welcoming atmosphere for our guests. The food was incredible, the service was thoughtful, and the flow of the weekend (welcome dinner, ceremony, reception, and brunch) felt seamless. It’s rare to find a venue that feels both elevated and personal, but The Arnold House truly delivers on both. We’re endlessly grateful to their team for helping us create such a memorable and love-filled celebration.

We can't for a wedding. A while weekend affair. We didn't stay here but all of the activities were here. (others from the wedding party did stay here) The service was very friendly and accommodating. The food was all very tasty. The atmosphere is outdoorsy and rustic
