Play at NH Fairs, Stay at our Squam Lake B&B

August 25th, 2012 by billwebb

There are a number of agricultural fairs coming up in the next few weeks throughout New Hampshire. These fairs are a great tradition and feature entertainment for the entire family. Events range from oxen pulls to apple pie contests. Most fairs have live entertainment and amusement rides. You’ll find livestock exhibits with cattle, sheep, pigs, goats and more. And there are exhibits featuring home made baked and canned goods as well as home grown fruits, vegetables and flowers.

We wouldn’t be surprised if the original owners of the home that is now the Inn On Golden Pond participated in some of these fairs in their early years. Some date back 140 years. While we don’t raise any livestock or produce vegetables worthy of showing  at a fair we do provide a quality lodging experience by Squam Lake in the heart of New Hampshire’s lakes region. Why not spend a few relaxing days at our Holderness bed and breakfast and enjoy one of New Hampshire’s longest traditions by attending one of the following fairs.

Lancaster Fair   8/29 – 9/3

Hopkinton State Fair   8/30 – 9/3

Hillsborough County Agricultural Fair    9/7 – 9/9

Rochester Fair   9/14 – 9/23

Deerfield Fair   9/27 – 9/30

Sandwich Fair  10/6 – 10/8

NH Dog Sled Adventures Near Our Bed and Breakfast/Inn

January 26th, 2012 by billwebb

Snow! Snow! Snow! That’s what we wish for every winter here in New Hampshire. A snowy winter is important for skiers and snowmobilers, but it’s especially critical for dog sled enthusiasts.  Dog sled rides are a great, different adventure and we have a couple of kennels close to our Holderness B&B that offer rides to the public. This is a great way to explore the countryside of the New Hampshire’s lakes region and the White Mountains. Imagine winding your way through the back woods, no one else around – a wonderful way to see Mother Nature’s winter grandeur.  You can share the driving experience with a professional or you can sit back and leave the driving to them.

Check out these two sites for more information about dog sledding opportunities.    Barking Brook Sled Dog Adventures    and    Muddy Paw Sled Dog

Of course, at the end of the day what could be better than returning to our cozy bed and breakfast/inn?  Sit by the fire, a glass of wine in hand and enjoy a quiet evening. Or dine at one of  the many excellent restaurants we have in the Squam area.  You’ll get a great night’s rest in one of our spacious, comfortable guestrooms and when you rise the next morning you’ll smell fresh coffee and the aroma of a home cooked breakfast as we get you ready for another day of winter activity.

The Inn On Golden Pond is an excellent lodging choice in the Holderness, Plymouth and Meredith NH area.  So come enjoy the wonders of winter, perhaps a little differently than ever before – on a sled pulled by a team of pure bred Siberian Huskies!
