Woodstock Inn & Brewery occupies a cluster of Victorian and modern buildings along Main Street (US Route 3) in North Woodstock, New Hampshire, at the southern entrance to Franconia Notch State Park. North Woodstock is a small village at the convergence of the Pemigewasset River and Lost River, and its position at the base of Franconia Notch makes it one of the most visited gateway communities in the White Mountains. The inn's central Main Street location places it within a short walk of local restaurants, shops, and the village's outdoor equipment outfitters, while the Flume Gorge, Echo Lake, and the Aerial Tramway at Cannon Mountain are each within 5 miles north on I-93.
Accommodations are distributed among several buildings of varying vintage and character. Victorian rooms in the original inn building feature period-reproduction furnishings, floral textiles, and the compact layouts typical of late 19th-century construction. Modern rooms in the adjacent building offer updated bathrooms and more standard American hotel configurations. Loft suites provide split-level layouts with additional space. Jacuzzi suites include in-room whirlpool tubs, fireplaces, or both. Several rooms in both buildings include private decks overlooking the village or the wooded hillside.
The on-site Woodstock Inn Brewery is the commercial and social centerpiece of the property, producing a rotating portfolio of craft ales, lagers, and seasonal specialties in a working brewery visible through the taproom windows. The taproom and adjacent dining room serve a full American pub menu for lunch and dinner daily, with outdoor patio seating along Main Street in season. The brewery's bottled and canned beers are sold for take-home purchase.
The property does not operate a spa or swimming pool. Lost River Gorge & Boulder Caves is approximately 6 miles west. Skiing at Loon Mountain Resort is about 6 miles south in Lincoln, and Cannon Mountain in Franconia Notch is roughly 10 miles north. The Kancamagus Highway, one of the White Mountains' premier scenic drives, begins approximately 5 miles southeast in Lincoln.

Tips for visiting
- Request a Jacuzzi suite well in advance—these rooms are limited and among the first to sell out for ski weekends and fall foliage stays.
- The taproom operates on a first-come basis without reservations and can be busy on Friday and Saturday evenings in peak seasons; arrive early for the best seat selection.
- Loon Mountain ski area offers a free shuttle service from several Lincoln and North Woodstock stops during ski season; confirm stops and schedule with the front desk.
- The Kancamagus Highway (NH Route 112) runs east from Lincoln along the Pemigewasset watershed through the National Forest—the full 34-mile scenic drive to Conway makes an excellent half-day excursion without additional cost.
- Lost River Gorge in Kinsman Notch (6 miles west on NH Route 112) is worth visiting in early morning before the daily bus tours arrive; the inn's front desk can advise on opening times.
