The Winter Clove Inn is a historic, family-run property with a beautiful, tranquil setting and a magical, welcoming family feel. The picturesque inn features a flower-lined porch with rocking chairs, a cozy living room, and comfortable, clean rooms. The property offers a wide range of thoughtful activities including hiking scenic and spectacular trails, swimming, tennis, badminton, pickleball, and a bowling alley that provides tons of fun, though some feel the basement area feels neglected in terms of fun and cleaning and could be an opportunity for more guest interaction. Meals are included with a stay, featuring three meals a day. Reviews on the food are mixed; some find the meals very good, tasty, and filling, while others note they are limited and well-prepared but with extremely limited portions, leaving active guests still hungry. Meal times are fixed, which can conflict with longer hikes. The overall experience is often described as excellent, with a one-of-a-kind, warm energy, especially for family reunions and gatherings. Many guests have been returning for decades, citing great times, kind staff, and great prices. While some note areas that could use upgrades or better maintenance, the overwhelming sentiment is positive, with many guests eager to return to this comfortable and charming inn.
Magical family feel but some outdoor activities would be great, and upgrades to indoor bowling alley and basement feels neglected in terms of fun and cleaning. Almost like guest don’t actually go down there to play. Missed space for opportunity and guest interaction/fun.

I just got back from a family reunion at the Winter clove inn. We been going there since 1980’s. We always have a great time! We had 38 people and they did an excellent job taking care of us as always. Prices are great and include 3 meal a day. Can’t wait for the next family reunion!
