“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."

Join us at our Squam Lake bed and breakfast inn for an extraordinary New Hampshire getaway.

May 23rd, 2011 by billwebb

This is going to be an exciting summer around Squam Lake. It’s the 30th anniversary of the filming of the classic movie “On Golden Pond” which was filmed here in Holderness. Our traditional New Hampshire  bed and breakfast took its name from the movie not because we are on the lake (which we’re not), but because we felt the movie reflected the sense of place and family which so typifies the rural part of our beautiful state.

We’ve been here as innkeepers for 27 years and one of the great things about the area is how little it has changed. The fresh, clean waters of Squam are still the same high quality they were years ago. And the development in town and around the lake has been minimal, not changing the basic feel of the community.

In an extraordinary celebration of the 30th anniversary there will be 30 performances of  the play “On Golden Pond” throughout the summer and into September at Little Church Theater in Holderness. These shows will be directed by the author of  ”On Golden Pond”, Ernest Thompson, who now resides locally. There will be many opportunities to meet Thompson and participate in conversations about the movie and the story. Follow this link to Little Church Theater’s website for a detailed schedule.

Seeing one of these performances would be a great reason to visit our Squam Lake (Golden Pond) Inn and spend a night or two. Choose one of our spacious guestrooms and treat yourself to a great New Hampshire getaway. Spend the day boating on Squam or Lake Winnipesaukee; hiking the Squam Range or the White Mountains; shopping in Meredith or Plymouth or driving some of our scenic back roads. Then spend an unforgettable evening enjoying theater history in the making. This On Golden Pond experience will be as authentic as it gets!

It truly is Golden Pond
