A Distinctive Choice Among Luxury Hotels in New Hampshire

Luxury in New Hampshire can take many forms, from grand mountain resorts to intimate properties shaped by the character of their surroundings. At Pickering House, we have created a different kind of experience in the heart of Wolfeboro, combining the personal service of a small hotel with thoughtful modern amenities and the history of an early 19th century landmark.

Among luxury hotels in New Hampshire, our setting is part of what makes a stay here distinctive. Pickering House occupies the former homestead of Daniel Pickering, a prominent Wolfeboro citizen, in a building dating to 1813. A two-year renovation preserved the character of the property while introducing the comfort expected from a contemporary luxury stay.

Our ten spacious guest suites each have their own personality, decor and thoughtful details. Luxury bathrooms feature heated tile floors and electronic shower controls, while top-of-the-line mattresses, linens, individually controlled heating and air conditioning plus soundproofing create a restful retreat. Complimentary WiFi, Smart TVs and daily housekeeping add convenience without taking away from the relaxed residential atmosphere.

The experience extends beyond the guest room. Gathering spaces invite conversation or a quiet moment with a book, while our expansive sitting porch offers another place to settle in and enjoy Wolfeboro at an unhurried pace.

Mornings begin with a gourmet breakfast served in The Barn and included with each stay. Throughout the day, refreshment areas make it easy to enjoy beverages and snacks at your own pace. Next door, Samuel Avery's Tavern brings another dimension to the experience with seasonally inspired, made-from-scratch cuisine in an intimate setting.

Our downtown location also places guests within strolling distance of Lake Winnipesaukee, shops, restaurants and the town docks. Wolfeboro offers something different in every season, from boating and lake days to hiking, museums and local events. Our seasonal favorites offer inspiration throughout the year, while our team can provide personalized adventure assistance with local recommendations and reservations.

For us, luxury is as much about ease, warmth and a sense of place as it is about beautiful surroundings. Pickering House brings those qualities together in one of New Hampshire's most celebrated lake towns, creating a stay that feels polished, personal and unmistakably Wolfeboro.
