New Hampshire Fall Foliage on Squam Lake and Lake Winnipesaukee

August 30th, 2011 by billwebb

As we get to the end of August the days are cooling down slightly and the evenings are definitely cooling down. It’s a great time of the summer, but as the days get shorter we realize fall is just around the corner.

Fall is our favorite time On Golden Pond. Now is the time to be thinking about booking an October visit to our Holderness B&B. The area surrounding Squam Lake and throughout the White Mountains will be ablaze with color. Reds, yellows, oranges… Mother Nature’s true art work is on display with the beautiful trees everywhere in the northeast.

Of course, what better way to enjoy the fall beauty than by spending a few days at a country inn/bed and breakfast. Experience our exceptional New Hampshire lodging where you’ll be pampered in our comfortable, spacious guest rooms and in the morning with our full country breakfast. Spend the days driving through the mountains or hiking the numerous trails in the Squam Range or the White Mountains.

And fall is also a great time to be on Squam Lake or Lake Winnipesaukee. Plan to include a boat tour on either lake during your visit.

“On Golden Pond” movie/play celebrates 30th anniversary on Squam Lake

August 13th, 2011 by billwebb

Just a reminder to everyone that starting Wednesday, August 24 and running through Sunday, Sept. 4 the Little Church Theater right here in Holderness will be presenting “On Golden Pond” as  the Squam Lake area and all of New Hampshire celebrates the 30th anniversary of the release of the classic film. The play is exceptionally well done and a bonus is that it is being directed by Ernest Thompson, author of the play and the screenwriter for the movie.

The play ran for two weeks earlier this summer and we, as well as a number of guests, were fortunate enough to see it. It’s a great evening of entertainment and each performance is followed by an opportunity for conversation with the author and/or the actors. This truly is a once in a lifetime experience.

Of course, Squam Lake was the setting for the film and the name of our bed and breakfast/Inn is a result.

We still have rooms available for all dates except Labor Day weekend. So call now to reserve!

You'll still find the classic wooden boats on Squam just like in the movie "On Golden Pond."
