This gracious red Victorian farmhouse, built as a summer getaway for the Pillsbury family of baking fame, has a peaceful setting on Lake Winnisquam and is a good general base for the western side of Lake Winnipesaukee. The inn contains nine impeccably decorated guest rooms and an abundance of inviting common spaces, including a 60-foot-long veranda and a gazebo by the water's edge—a pleasant place to lounge and listen for loons.
Slightly removed from, but within a short drive of, the crowds of Weirs Beach, this boutique spa hotel set in a converted mill is a great place to chill out, enjoy a shiatsu massage or cranberry facial, and savor dinner and cocktails on a patio overlooking the lake. In addition to being near the beaches of Winnipesaukee, the inn is close to a few smaller beaches on Lakes Opechee and Winnisquam.
