Lake Winnipesaukee is our largest lake, and the 6th largest natural lake entirely in the United States. It is 28 miles long, 13 miles wide and has 274 habitable islands. Winnipesaukee is an Indian term meaning "Smile of the Great Spirit". Wolfeboro is a thriving residential resort town located on Routes 28 and 109 in the heart of the Lakes Region.

First opened in 1938, a time when automobile vacations were still new, exciting and just a little bit dangerous. Weary city dwellers could escape hot urban summers and call a little piece of the country the Oldest Summer Resort in America. Couples and Families played horseshoes and tossed balls under tall trees, enjoyed lake pleasures, entertainment and shopping in the village or dining on the Harborfront. They would then return to their cottages for socializing and a well-earned peaceful sleep at night.

2010 Family & Friends Gathering

We are tucked into the only private woodlands in this “Norman Rockwellesque” Quaint Downtown!

We can host up to 75 people. The cottages offer the opportunity for individual households to create a "neighborhood" while not living with each other, for your family reunion, wedding party, or family vacation. The property is within walking distance to Main Street in Wolfeboro which features the public docks, shops, restaurants, nightlife, lakes, and beaches. Please come enjoy one of our kayaks, bicycles, bench swings, hammocks or relax and gather by an evening fire in our Adirondack chairs after a day at any of the three beaches we provide passes to.

And so, Put your keys in a drawer for the week and stroll, bike (FREE) or paddle (FREE KAYAKS) to shows, activities, lakes, trails, museums, dining, shopping and SO much more. There's something for EVERY age in Wolfeboro, in the center of the Lakes Region, on Lake Winnipesaukee and at the base of the Famous White Mountains, as well as an hour drive to experience the New England Coast!
