“A Hidden Gem on Lake Winnipesaukee!
My stay at the Belknap Point Inn was nothing short of spectacular. Nestled right on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, this charming inn offers some of the most breathtaking views I’ve ever experienced in New England. Waking up to the sunrise over the water and winding down with peaceful lake breezes made every moment feel like a retreat.

The rustic charm is perfectly balanced with modern touches, and you can tell the owners take great pride in maintaining the property.

What really sets this place apart is the hospitality. Tony and Larissa were incredibly welcoming and helpful, offering great local recommendations and making sure every guest felt at home. Whether you're here to relax, fish, kayak, or explore nearby attractions like Gunstock Mountain or Weirs Beach, the location is ideal—peaceful yet close to everything.
If you're looking for a serene lakeside escape with unbeatable views and warm, personal service, look no further. I’ll absolutely be returning next summer!”

“Lovely views, and even lovelier people. We were lucky enough to book the Gunstock Inn & Suites for our wedding in August and couldn't have been happier with our decision. The rooms were clean, spacious, and reasonably priced with incredible views of Lake Winnipesaukee, and our guests were thrilled!

The hotel also comes with an on-site gym facility, coffee and tea in the lobby, and best of all, a friendly dog to greet you and your guests.

Nicole and the staff were kind, helpful, and accommodating throughout our booking process and through our wedding weekend. Highly recommend!”

“We had a wonderful stay at Nutmeg Inn.
The grounds were beautiful and the pool area was very inviting. The only regret was that we didn’t use the pool although we sat out there late at night and stargazed which was incredible!
We stayed in the Sugar Shack which we absolutely loved!
The best part of Nutmeg Inn are the Innkeepers Karen and Kevin. They are very warm and hospitable and their home cooked breakfast is incredible!
I would rate this place more than 5 stars if I could!”

“We had a wonderful time at Channel Waterfront Cottages. The cottage was absolutely immaculate, with many amenities and very comfortable, with a fantastic view right on the channel. We especially enjoyed the convenient location near Weirs Beach. The owners were incredibly accommodating and added to the great experience. We definitely will refer family and friends.”

“10 stars on service. Husbands remark was it was like being on another planet with how great the service was. We stayed 5 nights and interacted with hotel, spa, and multiple restaurant staff members. 2 were A+ 5 star, the many rest were 10 star beyond helpful. The grounds were perfect, rooms and spaces clean, food was excellent. Got Room service at least 3 times.”

“We really loved our overnight stay at Bay Point. The room was beautiful and comfortable, but the best part was the balcony and its stunning view! The other best part was dinner outside there at Lago, always a favorite with that stunning view. Beautiful spot.. I even enjoyed a morning kayak ride, even good for a senior. ? I will definitely go back.”

“We have stayed in the 2 room cottage for the past 3 years with our 2 children both under 7. The view is fantastic, the location cant be beat and the pool is great. The cottages are a bit dated and starting to show their age, but they are extremely clean and we had no issues at all with hot water in the shower or to wash dishes in the kitchen sink. I read some reviews with complaints regarding street noise from Tower street and Lakeside ave, those are absurd complaints. It cannot be controlled by the owners of the property nor should affect the review of the rental property. If you dont want to hear street noise you probably shouldn't be staying in a hotel right in the middle of one of the busiest areas of town. Anyway, I am looking forward to staying next year again with my family. Thanks for the great hospitality.”

“Nice view for sure. The check in process is a little cumbersome heading to the other location. The traffic is thick right near Inn location but folks are friendly there and polite drivers. The inn should maybe consider more front desk staff to ensure customers can ask questions and expedite the check in process. The room view was awesome. The inn is older but quiet. I would say the Inn by lake needs some hvac filtration to help keep the room dryer and moisture free. For the price I would expect fresh towels and beds made daily. That did not happen. You have to ask for it by calling as there are no staff posted at the lake place. All in all very nice, pleasant place to visit. Would go again.

Nearby activities: boating on the lake!
