We have created something special in the heart of America's oldest summer resort. As a nationally recognized hotel near Lake Winnipesaukee, NH, Pickering House offers discerning visitors an imaginative blend of historic charm and modern luxury. Since opening in 2018, we have become a haven for guests seeking the perfect New Hampshire Lakes Region experience.

A Historic Setting Steps from the Water

Our boutique New England hotel occupies the beautifully restored homestead of Daniel Pickering, one of Wolfeboro's most prominent citizens. Built in 1813 and remodeled in the Greek Revival style around 1843, this historic landmark now provides 10 upscale guest rooms, each featuring unique amenities and thoroughly modern comforts. We are located within walking distance of downtown Wolfeboro, where the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee meet charming shops, restaurants and the town docks.

At more than 70 square miles, Lake Winnipesaukee is New England's third largest lake and the focus of recreational activity throughout the region. Our downtown location puts you steps from boating, fishing, swimming and all the waterfront experiences that make this area extraordinary. During your stay, our team specializes in adventure assistance, helping you plan the perfect itinerary whether you prefer outdoor trails, museums or lakeside relaxation.

The Pickering Experience

We believe a great hotel stay extends far beyond comfortable accommodations. Each morning begins with a gourmet breakfast served in The Barn, included in your room rate. Throughout the day, help yourself to refreshments, craft beers and selected wines. Gathering spaces throughout the property invite you to relax with a book on our wraparound porch, chat with fellow guests in The Living Room or enjoy one of our outdoor fire pits.

The Barn at Pickering House blends rustic charm with luxury for wedding weekends, executive retreats, and special celebrations. This beautifully restored 19th century barn provides an elegant space with modern amenities and convenient access to downtown activities. We also host popular Barn dinners and unique tasting experiences throughout the year.

Exploring Wolfeboro and Beyond

Wolfeboro's incredible scenery, sparkling waters and vibrant downtown make it a favorite destination year round. Our concierge team is passionate about helping you discover everything from seasonal favorites to hidden gems. Browse eclectic shops, catch free concerts at Cate Park, hike the Cotton Valley Rail Trail or visit fascinating museums including the Wright Museum of World War II.
