Originally built in 1813, our historic property was once the home of Daniel Pickering, a prominent local businessman who helped shape the community. An extensive renovation preserved the building’s architectural character while introducing refined interiors, modern systems and thoughtful amenities.

Guests enjoy premium mattresses and linens, luxurious bathrooms with heated tile floors, electronic shower controls, complimentary WiFi, Smart TVs and individually controlled heating and air conditioning. State-of-the-art soundproofing helps create a peaceful retreat even with downtown Wolfeboro just outside.

A stay also includes a gourmet breakfast served in The Barn, along with convenient refreshment areas offering beverages and snacks throughout the day. Our welcoming common spaces provide plenty of room to settle in, whether that means reading on the wraparound porch, gathering around an outdoor fire pit or relaxing in the Library, Living Room or Pickering’s Kitchen.
