Went to have dinner and a few drinks. There were maybe 10 customers. Ordered drinks that took 20 min to get to our table. Then proceeded to order food. 1 hr later, i flagged down our waitress who never came by or made eye contact the whole time. Asked her we've been waiting for our food. She told me there were other people ahead of us. Clearly not true, because other customers came after us and were already done eating. Positive note, food was good. Service not so much.

Lovely orchard with a restaurant and store at the top. Food is delicious. The ponds and views make it a perfect place for a wedding

Great venue, pretty and food/organization was well done. We decorated the venue as folks often do. The family owned antique bottle collection we used as table centers was stolen. The venue did NOTHING to assist in finding out who stole and claimed no reaponsibility. OUCH. Bitter pill to swallow on what should have been a wonderful event.
Be warned. Don't bring anything you treasure. They'll take it.

We had the most beautiful September wedding here. We were a little worried when we found out that the ownership and wedding planners were changing, but it ended up making things even more magical for us. Everyone was above and beyond in making our big day special and we couldn’t be more grateful!!!

We did not stay but came to pick apples. The orchard changed hands recently. The owner passed a few years ago.What was once a fun place with a huge variety of apples is now more of atourist trap. Due to the May freeze there were no apples. They were shipped in. They now plug weddings big time. Weddings were always important, but now this is pretty much what they do. There are now Glamping cabins by the pond. Visitors can no longer use the restroom by the store. You now have to use the one Porto potty available. Not pleasant! There's a small farm animal pen, that's grown quite a bit. Basically what was once a fun place is now a tourist trap. After many years of the wonderful times, it now time to move on.Such a shame.Walkability: Very easy to navigate the orchards.Food & drinks: They have pies jams etc. In the store. More commercialized now.

Incredibly friendly and helpful farmstead staff! They went out of their way to point out a table/chairs under a grape vine pergola to sit and eat the picnic makings we'd bought inside. You cannot help but feel better about life after visiting this beautiful spot.

First of all, I typically do not leave reviews. This experience warrants one. My family and some close friends take trips each summer and often stay at an Airbnb. We chose the Rochambeau Lodge due to the size to accommodate the large group we had. The write up for the location and the setting in the New England countryside is what peaked our interest. We've been to New Hampshire several times and love coming back to the mountains.We are not people who complain, however, some things need to be addressed. It was the interaction with one of the hosts which led us to ultimately write this review.There were some issues with the cleanliness of the place. Mouse droppings, bees coming in the kitchen, ragged furniture with clear evidence of rodent activity and some questionable stains on pillows and more. Also, there were limited clean pots and pans. We were willing to let some things slide and address them at the conclusion of our stay. We had absolutely no intention of writing a negative review. Again, some of us drove quite a distance to be there and we were just happy to see each other. During our stay, I had some itching on my neck. I asked my wife if she thought it was poison ivy. It wasn't. Chalked it up to maybe some mosquito bites. Fast forward to mid week and the spots on my neck continued to grow. On our second to last night, my wife, who happens to be a biology professor and entomologist, found something crawling on our sheets. It was a bedbug. While trying to wrap our heads around what we found, we found more crawling on our pillows and sheets. We shared our findings that night with one of our friends and immediately switched rooms. We didn't want to upset anyone else in the house at that point because it was well after midnight.After a night of no sleep, we brought this to the attention of one of the hosts of the property. Here's why I'm writing this. The host stated that "bedbugs are microscopic and you can't see them." Interesting take because we saw them up close and personal and I had the bites on my neck as well. We bagged a couple of bugs and stored them in the freezer as evidence. Our concern was not taken seriously and quite honestly, was very belittling. People want to be treated with respect. This is not how you handle people's concerns. Bringing over new bedsheets is not going to eliminate the problem. Bedbugs don't just go away. We had fourteen people staying in this house. All of us had to leave with concerns of bringing them home. All clothing, bags and luggage had to be thoroughly washed or simply thrown out. The offer was made to stay in another location on the property, but it wouldn't of been big enough to accommodate our group. A partial refund was also issued through Airbnb, but the pain of this experience still stings. Besides, the damage had been done. The other concerns, mouse droppings, etc. he stated that he "wished he knew sooner and that they had a new cleaning service." This turns the blame off of them and puts it onto us, for not notifying them earlier; or on the cleaning service, for not doing an adequate job cleaning. This isn't our problem seeing we spent over two thousand dollars to stay in the lodge which included a $275 cleaning fee. Simply put, the lodge was not ready and not clean. If it isn't ready and there isn't any over site on the cleanliness, then it shouldn't be rented. It is not our job to walk into a rental and make sure it's clean. Not knowing is not an excuse. We do not wish any harm on anyone's livelihood and well being. If you and your family were staying and experienced this, would you be ok with this? We understand that you cannot control that guests brought bed bugs into the home. We get it. We are upset at how our findings were minimized. This lodge has a lot of potential and can be a great place to stay. It needs a lot of TLC and new furnishings. When you are hosting, please know that there are good people who spend hard earned money to stay at a place where you want t

We recently returned home from a stay at Rochambeau Lodge (property at Alyson's Orchard). This location does not even deserve one star. We endured mouse droppings in the kitchen cupboards, mouse droppings/nest in the sofa, bees entering through the wall, a blood stained pillow caseand BED BUGS! After reporting these concerns & leaving a day early from our vacation, we were offered only a partial refund. The cleaning fee alone was $275 and the property clearly was not clean. It is an abomination that we did not receive a full refund including all fees!
