Erika and Mike were wonderful Inn hosts with unending hospitality! Having never been to New Hampshire before Erika gave us fantastic suggestions of where to take in the fall colors as well as some local treasures. Mike is truly a great cook; making cook to order breakfasts for each guests that included fresh whipped cream. The common areas are warm and welcoming with drinks to help yourself from hot tea to wines. The suite we stayed in was well appointed; soft linens and towels and an incredibly comfortable bed. We hope to come stay again sometime in the summertime.

A fantastic family owned and run Inn with a brilliant welcome. These people really care and are passionate about the guest experience. A beautiful historic property with a lovely warm ambience. Comfortable rooms, spotlessly clean and in the perfect spot for exploring the squam lake region and the northern NH scenic trails. A lot of sustainable practice and locally sourced ingredients adds to the experience.

This is a B&B operated with lots of care and attention to detail. We really enjoyed our short stay, and meeting the family that run the Inn on Golden Pond. We loved using the properties kayaks to paddle the perimeter on Little Squam, and thought the scenic railway in Meredith was a great slice of American life. Loved it.
