Really nice stay!

This vintage bed and breakfast was a great stay. Room was comfy and clean, breakfast was great, and the back porch was awesome for relaxing and wildlife viewing (lots of beavers in the lake and TWO black bears!) Would definitely stay again!

It was a great place to stay. The porch that looked over the river was great to sit back and relax
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Frequently stay in the Fairplay area for work and the Hand hotel has been by far the most enjoyable place to stay. The other option (Riverside Inn) has always been extremely noisy and the staff don't seem to care much about customer concerns. The Hand hotel staff were excellent and it was convenient having the cafe down-stairs... just be aware it isn't open every morning, but there are other options close by. It is a historic building so keep that in mind when booking.
