My husband and I came to Lake Winnipesaukee as my gift to him for his birthday. I was looking for a serene setting where we could lay back, relax, and enjoy the lake while still being close enough to all the hot spots. The Lantern Inn was exactly what we were looking for. The inn is BEAUTIFUL. We loved our room; it was clean, comfortable, and I loved the newly remodeled look. Breakfast was always amazing. And the owners are so friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed just hanging out on the well-kept, gorgeous grounds and found it to be the perfect place to relax and enjoy the fresh air and scenery. We also were able to walk (~2 miles) to Weirs Beach, and to some of the restaurants/bars on the main road. If we didn't feel like walking, the drive was very easy to any of the places on the boardwalk, or even into Meredith Bay. Five star experience! We loved this place and would definitely come back. read more
