New Ownership December 2004
In the fall of 2004 the Ammonoosuc Inn was rescued by the current chef/owner from Long Island, New York who fell inlove 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 - 2008 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 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
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.
