    Blue Bistro Restaurant My husband and I are celebrating our 36th wedding anniversary this month and we are recreating our honeymoon in New Hampshire. Although we didn't dine at Blue Bistro back then, they came highly recommended. They did not disappoint. We booked the reservation and told them that we were recreating our honeymoon and unbeknownst to us Trishana, our hostess had decorated our table with confetti hearts and "happy anniversary " confetti pieces. She also made a card for us wishing us a happy anniversary. I was in tears. From there our server, Shaven was amazing. He made sure that our experience was special and gave great recommendations for our meal. We want to take our hats off to our bartender Anna whom my husband said she made the best smoked old fashion cocktail he ever had, and that is a pretty good compliment because he enjoys a good old fashion drink. And the night was even more magical when their streaming playlist happen to play "Sailing" by Christopher Cross. That was the song that was playing when my husband told me he loved me over 40 years ago and again on this night. To end the evening one of the severs, Topal, came out with our desert that had sparklers on top and sang a love song to us. Her voice was so angelic. Then Cynthia the owner came over to our table to congratulate us. We were so moved by the experience. I wanted to be sure to thank the full staff and the chef for making this getaway memorable.

    Hotel is dated and in need of an update. The staff is wonderful, pleasant and accommodating. The food is ok, the drinks are great. The hotel is in a great location right on the lake, it's definitely known for its party atmosphere.

    2 stars for the view and beach bar. Stayed in room 41 (motel behind cottages). Room was extremely dated, but clean, but reallllly dated. Very loud. We were woken up at least 5 times.

    Food: average food, nothing crazy. The food will definitely hold you over after drinking too much but I wouldn't go there specifically for the food. If you order apps, be sure to get the coconut shrimp! Drinks on the other hand were so good and so many options. I would definitely order a mudslide! Service: so fast! I was impressed. We had a large table and our drinks came out very quickly! Environment: amazing. Love music. Right on the water. What more can you ask for?

    Awesome spot on the water with excellent drink menu. The food menu is good but not great but the pricing matches the quality of the food. Will be back again.

    Regular hours at bar have ridiculous prices.They don't even put the price on menu (for good reason).

    Is there smoking permitted in designated areas? Nowadays, there are many smoke-free resorts. My mom is about 90 years old (ain't gonna get her to kick the habit. :-) and when I take her for a mini vacation, I want her to be able to relax.

    There is a smoking area by the water

    I stayed here at the Opechee Inn (8 years ago) and raved then about my beautiful room! I don't know…read morewhat happened but the management seems to have gone downhill. And why is the hotel found on Yelp as Tranquility Springs because the spa is inside the Opechee Inn, but okay. So tonight, after several different visits to the restaurant and hotel gift shop (since Chaos and Kindness moved downtown--this is the only gift shop within walking distance to us), unfortunately, I am not thrilled with the hotel. Typically, while we wait for O Steaks restaurant to open, we sit quietly in the 'lodge room' or outside of the hotel entrance (under cover) for a few minutes. The restaurant opens at 4pm and since my husband had a stroke three years ago, we have to take our time walking. We have never had an issue, nor are there any signs saying "hotel guests only," so we rest in the lodge room (which is adjacent to the side door to the restaurant inside the hotel)--until today. We are reasonable people. And because I knew we got there even earlier than usual today, I specifically bought something at the gift shop ($15 Christmas gift for a family member), as a gesture of gratitude for being able to sit in the air conditioning in that EMPTY side room. So, here comes some hotel woman in just as we were getting ready to leave the room and enter O Steaks and asked if we were staying at the hotel. I replied no, that we're locals and were just waiting on the restaurant to open. THEN she informed us that they want to save the room for hotel guests! Ugh. Okay. Save the empty room! I was shocked and annoyed. We went to the restaurant immediately. But I will never go back into the Inn again. Believe it.

    I stayed at the Lake Opechee Inn and Spa for two nights in July 2022. I was there for an event at…read moreGunstock Mountain Resort and some of the closer places were already sold out. I found Lake Opechee on Expedia and went for it. The room was really big and nice. Two queen beds for me and me, a refrigerator, TV, seating area, desk, etc. On my first morning I had to be somewhere at 8am so I stopped at their free breakfast. I'm not sure what others are complaining about. There was coffee, tea, muffins, cereal, milk, yogurt, etc. It was fine. The employees I interacted with were all friendly. Cons would be the shower was a bit small, the water pressure was a little low, and my room was on the restaurant side of the building and there was some noise from that as the restaurant gets quite busy. One more thing I would add is the window coverings do not offer to blackout the morning light so plan on not having full darkness. All in all a very nice stay. Not cheap but nice!

Tucked into the corner of the basin of Lake Winnipesaukee with easy access to the "big lake," but all the quiet of a much smaller lake, this spot is truly a gem. It's easy to fall in love with Sunset Lodges while reading on their large dock, waterskiing around the basin or enjoying a refreshing swim. The cabins are charming, with big windows that look out on the lake and large stone fireplaces to help warm you up on a chilly evening. We also really enjoy that the lovely town of Wolfeboro is just a few minutes down the road, making shopping for groceries or grabbing a quick breakfast out very convenient. This is a great place for families and groups of people vacationing together.

You cant do everything in one building but one building does have more amenities than the other... We were in the other building. What does that mean? Its winter break and we are here for the pool area. We had to drive over which means we had to drive back in the cold after being wet. I did not like this. It also meant wearing slides in the snow (cold and super wet toes!) The other building also has the shop, grilled, game area and pin pong tables! What did we have? A smaller pool area with an outdoor hot tub and the hilltop restaurant. I can share, overall we did like the smaller pool better. People were friendlier and it just felt more fun. Also, taking our little guy in the hot tub in the snow was fun! A few things that need improvement: - outdated room decor $300 a night - at check it was not shoveled and there were like 5 inches on the ground - at 10am the stairs to the pond were not shoveled (hours after the snow ended) and the benches for skate zip up is walk down a snow covered small hill into the abyss to the pond. Aka what are you walking on in skates? Is it safe? We have no idea. We ended up tredging down on foot and sitting on the ice to put our skates on. Nice amenity but not well thought out or taken care of - where is the sledding on property? We don't know we just made our own paths down to the pond. - the Hilltop is not worth visiting (check reviews)

    Stayed here to visit Gunstock to ski in March…read more Although there are closer inns/lodges (to Gunstock) to stay at in Gilford, I really liked this location because there are more things in the area. Patrick's across the street has a great dinner. There's a laundromat and a wine store in that same mall. The suite we stayed in was older but very big with a full kitchen, living room and bedroom which is what I was looking for. The sofa bed was kind of bent out of shape but they have brand new plush mattress toppers. This is like staying in a condo, with a physical metal key. Elaine (I think that was her name) was so nice and I felt like I was visiting her house, she was so welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Breakfast is grab and go; breakfast sandwiches, yogurt, fruit cups, instant oatmeal, cereal/milk, muffins, granola bars etc, all prepackaged food. Honestly it was great that they even offered that. There's a convenience store across the street that you can buy food if you have a kitchen if you want to make hot prepared food. The air conditioning/heating is thru wall units so it can be noisy going on and off all night so I just used earplugs.
