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.

Holderness, NH celebrates its 250th birthday

June 22nd, 2011 by billwebb

August 5 – 8 will be a special weekend in the town of Holderness as it celebrates its 250th birthday. There are lots of activities planned ranging from a grand parade to a pancake breakfast hosted by our local fire department.

A group of wonderful volunteers has been planning the event for months and they’ve thought of everything. At various times throughout the weekend there will be a folk concert, a street dance and a square/contra dance. The Squam Lakes Natural Science Center will be offering free admission and the Historical Society will be the scene of many activities. There will be an appearance by the nationally famous Mattatuck Fife and Drum Band and lots of historic re-enactments and self guided tours of historic sites. You can get more details and updates at the Holderness 250th website.

If you’re planning to be in the Plymouth, NH or Meredith, NH area that weekend you should definitely make a point of visiting Holderness at some point. A celebration like this really represents small town New Hampshire at its best.

Of course, beautiful Squam Lake is a great place to visit anytime. Check out the quality lodging we offer at our lakes region bed and breakfast/country inn. We’ll help make your visit to Squam a memorable one.

We're not 250 years old, but here's a picture from the early days of the building we now call The Inn On Golden Pond. Time and lots of tender loving care sure makes a difference!

Inn On Golden Pond – A Great New Hampshire Bed and Breakfast

June 6th, 2010 by billwebb

You can imagine that we’ve hosted lots of folks over our 25 years here at the Inn and many of them several times. In fact, our record holders for the most visits to the Inn On Golden Pond have been here 37 times!  Just recently we had two couples return for visits that meant a great deal to us. The first couple was last here 18 years ago. The second hadn’t been with us in over 21 years!  In both cases the pressures of raising families had interfered with their ability to make a return trip to our New Hampshire bed and breakfast. But what made their visits special to us was that they had such fond memories of the Inn from years ago that they chose to return to celebrate special occasions. Both couples recalled specific interactions they’d had with us when  they last visited. And believe it or not we remembered both of them after all these years and all the guests who’ve passed over our threshold since.  Our special thanks to Steve & Sally, and to John & Nancy. It’s people like you who have made our innkeeping years so meaningful. We decided to share some kind comments that Steve submitted to Trip Advisor after his visit.

“My wife and I had visited the Inn three times previously, the most recent 18 years ago. Kids and life interfered in the intervening years to prevent us from returning. In celebration of our 20th wedding anniversary, we planned a return and then delayed that by 13 months.

Regardless, the Inn remains an excellent place for a quiet, romantic weekend getaway. We had a beautiful room. Bill and Bonnie have clearly invested in the facilities over the years. They have always been and remain extremely gracious hosts. They provided great suggestions for dinner and local activities (we did a hike on Saturday and another on Sunday. In warmer weather, we rented a canoe on Squam Lake).

Overall, a great place to spend a weekend with that special someone in your life.”

Thanks to all of you who when visiting Holderness and New Hampshire’s Lakes Region have picked our Squam Lake country inn/bed and breakfast as your lodging choice.
