Yeah- the timeshares in NH remind me of the real estate in NH also. Most of the mid range priced homes and condos are old and worn- and outdated.
At Pollard Brook, our unit is in the oldest building. The unit has been updated, but it is not luxurious by any stretch. It has water leaks up in the loft that they can't seem to fix- or maybe it is too expensive to fix.
Our favorite part of our unit is the bedroom and master bathroom. The living room furniture is uncomfortable. But they have nice flat screen tv's.
That said, the unit is clean and the resort is really nice- the pools, the lockers, the gym- and they have nice activities. Can't beat the location- plenty to do in the area.
Even when we move up to the Lakes region we intend to keep it. We would get day use of the facilities from what I understand, which might be nice in winter (the indoor pool, gym, sauna) and also it will be a nice change of pace from the Lakes to the Whites.
We have stayed at Cold Spring a couple of times via rental. It's ok. One unit we were in was outdated and we did not like the configuration. It was also kind of dark. The other was a big townhouse facing a golf course. Outdated, but spacious. Both were clean. I am not crazy about their gym or indoor pool. The outdoor pool was not open the times we were there.
The front desk was friendly, however and I read they do have some nice local excursions. We essentially stayed there because our son lives 5 minutes away and it was his graduation and also for XMAS.
I did not like Grand Summit- it is a converted hotel.
Like South Mountain a lot.
Really like Eastern Slope Inn.
Didn't care much for the Crown Ridge. Townhouse but did not have that resort feel. Hated the pool area, too.
Never stayed at any of the other resorts, but they don't appeal to me.
