Reviews

Loch Lyme is situated on a pond in Lyme, New Hampshire. The accomodations consist of rustic cabins that have running water and electric, but no air conditioning, telephones or tv. They do offer internet access in the main lodge. Heating is provided by a fireplace in the cabin. They source local produce for the restaurant, and you can choose to dine in the lodge or cater for yourself. Plenty to do if you didn't want to use your car all week, more of an old fashioned family vacation where you swim, fish, kayak, hike or play tennis. No video arcades either. They dry the sheets and towels outside when they can and have the usual recycling programs. No solar power as far as I know but I know they are looking to build new units as part of a cohousing project using green practices. You'd probably have to use your car to get there, though its not too far from White River Junction, I know public transport serves there.

Review this hotel

This website is for you and your fellow green travelers. You can make it more useful by sharing your travel experiences at the different environmentally friendly hotels or eco-lodges you stay in. The more comments and reviews we have on the hotels in the database, the more you and other environmentally conscious travelers have to go on for making decisions.

When you review a hotel, the information we are looking for is what your experience was; how you felt about what you saw and did in regards to the hotel. Did you notice any environmentally sensitive steps taken that aren't covered by either the attributes list or the hotel's website? For example, were the shower curtains fabric rather than plastic, the wastebasket unlined, or did the room smell fresh without having been perfumed? Does the housekeeping staff honor the towel/sheet program? Are Styrofoam products offered at any food establishments connected to the environmentally friendly hotel? We want the good and the bad so other green travelers can make informed decisions.

There are lots of little things that go into making a great experience, and lots of little things that go into making a great green experience. That's what we are looking for in the reviews we receive. All comments and submissions become the property of HealthyStays.com, LLC and may be published.
