See “On Golden Pond” and stay On Golden Pond

July 21st, 2012 by billwebb

For those folks who loved the movie “On Golden Pond” there is a special treat waiting for you this summer. From now until August 12 the play which was written by Ernest Thompson is being performed at the Pitman’s Freight Room, 94 New Salem St., in Laconia. The theater is about a 30 minute drive from our Holderness, NH bed and breakfast, the Inn On Golden Pond.

The production is being directed by the Academy award winning author and he appears in the performance as well.

Evening shows start at 7:00 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and at 8:00 on Fridays and Saturdays. There are also 2:00 pm matinees on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Why not plan a visit now. Stay at our Inn On Golden Pond, take a boat tour On Golden Pond and see a performance of the classic play On Golden Pond directed by the author of On Golden Pond. What a great combination!

Center Harbor Fireworks Near Our Squam Lake Inn

June 21st, 2012 by billwebb

Many towns in the New Hampshire Lakes Region have 4th of July celebrations capped off with fireworks.  One of the most picturesque settings is in Center Harbor.

Center Harbor is one of the 5 communities that border Squam Lake and is located about ten minutes from our Holderness bed and breakfast. The fireworks are set off over Lake Winnipesaukee. We watch from the hillside where the town library and the fire station are located. This vantage point offers a great view.  Earlier in the evening starting at 7:00 there will be a concert featuring the group “Monadnock.” The boy scouts sell refreshments and generally everyone has a great time. It’s a real old fashioned 4th of July celebration.

One thing about watching from the hillside is that we often get glimpses of other towns’ fireworks. Sometimes we see part of the Meredith show and as we look down the length of Winnipesaukee we see others including Wolfeboro, a town which claims to be America’s Oldest Summer Resort.

Now would be a good time to make your 4th of July plans. Spend a few days enjoying one of the spacious guestrooms at our Squam Lake Inn, enjoy the fireworks, take in some summer theater, hike the Squam range and get out on the lake.
