Evergreen Valley Inn & Villas

I stayed here for a week with my husband and 3 young children. The room was very outdated but we knew that going in. However, there was a strong musty order in the whole inn. There were air fresheners everywhere to cover up the smell. The kitchenette is very small and only an oversized dorm size fridge which did not fit all the food we brought (you have to bring your own food as there are no restaurants or stores nearby). The worst was after a day out of the room we came back to find mouse droppings all over our bureau, in the drawer of our once clean clothes, all over the kitchenette… LOTS of droppings. We got no apology from the receptionist just the comment «well, it’s Maine». They came in to clean our mouse infected room but never vacuumed and there was a strong odor. We wasted a day packing our stuff up to leave early when they found us another room that would fit our family. We moved in there and that room was a bit newer feeling but still had the odor.
The inn is larger than I thought and in need of some updating. The inn has so much potential. It could really be fantastic. Had good interactions with ²⁄₃ front desk staff members. Jess, was particularly helpful and gave the best suggestions for where to go with young kids.
The pluses: 1) small outdoor playground for young kids 2) Grills to use (although you pay a $ 2 fee for each use for propane) 3) Fire pit area and plenty of fire wood available 4) Close to lots of hiking trails 5) Game room but none of the arcade games were turned on/​or were broken when we were there 6) Our room (Innsbrook) had 2 TV’s which made my kids happy. 7) An hour from North Conway
The minuses: 1) The musty smell 2) NOISY… we heard the people above us walking and squeaking the floor until 2 AM and prevented us from sleeping 3) Outdated and beds were not the best 4) No pool and lack of amenities 5) No cell phone reception which also means no GPS reception and since nothing is marked it is impossible to find your way to anywhere… bring a map!
Overall, we had a good time. Mouse poop and all… if you think of the inn as glorified camping then you won’t be disappointed.
It’s an amazing piece of property and filled with trememdous potential.

Make sure to bring tour own food and drinks. You can cook and BBQ here — and as you are in the middle of nowhere. There is not much else to do.
The rooms are a bit outdated, but they fit the purpose. A kitchenette, a (folding) bed, a simple bathroom.
Also. Bring your own shampoo aa they only provide a small soapbar.
No cell phone cover — but there is (poor) wifi.
All together; Okay value for money with a lot of outdoor possibilities
