The Lighthouse Inn B&B and Cottages

Our historic Inn, located only minutes from the lively Weirs Beach area, Meredith and the Gunstock ski area, was attentively built in 1939 by shipbuilder Byron Hedblom, who brought the Mount Washington cruise ship to Lake Winnipesaukee.

Mr. Hedblom's fascination with boats and the sea was carried forward when three working lighthouses were placed on the property. The welcoming glow from the 15-foot-high lighthouses will guide you home each night along with the 60-foot-high mast used as a flagpole. Each guest room is named after a famous New England lighthouse in keeping with this tradition. The care and attention that went into building these remarkable structures is reflected today in the care and attention you will receive as our guests

We also offer summer and winter specials for romantic getaways, skiers or lake cruises on Lake Winnipesaukee and Squam Lake. Or take advantage of our linger longer plan and use the inn as a central base for days trips to the White Mountains 40 minutes away or the seacoast and Maine, 75 minutes away. The entire inn also can be booked at a discounted rate, perfect for a gathering of friends or family, biking and hiking groups, wedding groups, scrapbookers, knitters and quilters.
