Lake House at Ferry Point

This is an absolutely beautiful B&B right on lake Winnisquam. The ground floor suite I reserved for a special get away with my 91 year old mother was well appointed and cozy with a spa tub for ultra relaxation.
Unfortunately the Innkeepers became quite put out when 5 local family members met us here for a pot luck luncheon/​reunion in the middle of the afternoon. the breakfast dining area was empty and we left it as we found it and used our own supplies and utensils. (Apparently the conversation I had conducted on the phone weeks prior to check in, to make sure this would be cool, was never communicated to the powers that be). From that moment forward my interactions with the innkeepers was strained this caused an uneasiness to what for me were to be wonderful memories.
That was unfortunate, but thankfully didn’t spill over on to mom, though she did ask if it was her imagination or was Cindy a bit «snippy» with me?
Yes I thought so…

John and Cindy are fantastic! They are great hosts and John is a great cook, the food was different to me and I had never experienced it before, but it taste great! We ate at 830 and by 3pm we were still full! The portions were not huge cheesecake factory style either, but that just shows the nourishment and goodness that they prepare for their guests.
There are no tvs in the room, so if this bothers you, you may want to reconsider, but honestly if you are on vacation and want to watch tv…
Our sleep was actually more refreshing and probably because of the lack of the tv in the room.
Beautiful property, great view of the lake, pretty easy to find getting off of the highway, two thumbs up and two big toes!

This is without question a hands down 5-​star rating!
John and Cindy were absolutely wonderful and welcoming. My Boyfriend and I decided to get away for 2 nights and selected this gem of a bed and breakfast! Located in Sanbornton, both the B&B and the town were very quaint and quiet. John and Cindy greeted us the second we arrived with a smile and an offer to help settle us in. We chose the Wentworth Lake room that boasts a very nice sized jacuzzi! This room had a view of the beautiful snow covered woods behind the house (we went during the winter). The room, the entire house and grounds were meticulously spotless and cared for.
John and Cindy told us of several nice places to grab food or grab a drink. All of their suggestions were wonderful! They even offered to come pick us up if we had a few too many — which is incredibly kind! Among all off the food that we ate the most spectacular was the yummy fare that John prepared each morning for us! Beautiful fresh fruit and tasty hot dishes along with plenty of fresh coffee and tea.
There is a lovely great room that we used to snuggle up and look at the lake — also enjoyed morning coffee in there. The house itself is gigantic and tells you a story as you move around it. J&C were kind enough to tell us of it’s history and their’s as well. They really made us feel like family during our stay.
This is a fantastic find in beautiful New Hampshire that you simply cannot pass up! We plan on returning during the summer to enjoy the breathtaking lake!

The kayaks are a very welcome addition to the stay at the Lake House. It is a particularly beautiful lake to enjoy. Sadly, the peddle boat had been bailed out my numerous guests the week we were staying there to sink shortly after leaving shore we were told by other guests after it happened to us. We assumed owners were unaware, not the case and the boat was left on the shore in spite of this with no warning to guests.
The breakfasts were very decadent, presentation was impressive, but there was no notice on what would be served or options. This works if you have no restrictions.
The B&B is directly across the road from Lake Winnesquam, the views are incredible and the water refreshing mid July for a swim.
The rooms are very clean and a nice welcome basket in the room. They advertise cookies or brownies at all times, this was not our experience. We were a bit disappointed when they were available in our four day stay the cookie never changed. If you like oatmeal raisin, you should be happy.
We asked about recommendations for a couple of things and were told the menu book may not be up to date. We used trip advisor and Unilocal for our needs.
The B&B offers a beautiful front porch and flowers, site says breakfast served on porch if weather permits. This was not out experience, but we did enjoy morning coffee overlooking the lake. Evenings were nice until sunset, then the Mosquitos won out!

An excellent place to stay if exploring the area. John and Cindy were great. The breakfast is amazing. We took the innkeepers advice on a place to eat locally and it was also very good. If you are looking for a classic B&B in this area don’t miss this spot.

What can I say that hasn’t already been said?
Plenty. There is no end to the great stuff that can be said about this B&B.
Cindy stayed up until past midnight waiting for my gf and I to arrive for our anniversary weekend. She gave us a brief, hushed tour so as not to wake the other guests. The house is large and built like a home, with a tremendously cozy living room stocked with books, games, big screen TV and a fireplace. The dining room is small with café style tables, and the room we stayed in was more like a bedroom than anything (with a full bathroom attached). The sheets are the best sheets I’ve ever slept on (they know it too, you can buy a set from their mini gift shop). In the morning, their daughter knocked softly and asked if we would like to come down to breakfast. John whipped up a clear favorite of his (and now ours), peach melba french toast. This isn’t a buffet style continental breakfast. John cooks each and every dish specially for each and every guest, and Cindy serves it all up with a side of welcoming conversation. During breakfast, we watched cars and people walk out onto frozen lake winnipasaukee (sp?) through their huge windows with a great view. After a day out in the mountains, all were in bed as we came back and stoked a quiet fire enjoying a bottle of wine. Comfy blankets are folded on the chairs and couches for extra warmth, and there are always chocolate chip cookies, tea, coffee, cocoa and water at all hours. John checked us out on Sunday and directed us to the nearest greasy spoon on the way home.
All-​in-​all, I would recommend everyone to stay at the Lake House at Ferry Point Inn. Kind, good people and warm, fuzzy atmosphere is hard to come by these days, especially in such abound as here. Thank you so much John, Cindy and Libby for a fantastic weekend.

My husband and I recently spent a weekend at The Lake House for an anniversary getaway. John and Cindy are both very friendly. Breakfast was excellent and included several courses: fresh fruit, baked goods, and a warm entrée (quiche and peach melba toast the weekend we were there). The rooms were well kept and beds comfortable (…in particular, the blanket was super comfy — as someone who is always cold, I appreciated the warm & cozy extra layer).
There aren’t any restaurants /​shopping that are really walkable from The Lake House, although there are a few good options within close driving distance. We ate at Tavern 27 one night and The Local Eatery the second night. Both were very good (and we even got a discount at The Local when they found out we were staying at The Lake House).
We also went on a few excursions while we were in the area. Flume Gorge was a nice (albeit short) hike within ~1 hour driving distance. We also checked out Wolfeboro to get a nice lunch and also to see the bigger Lake Winnepesaukee.

John and Cindy are wonderful hosts and even though they’ve been doing this for less than two years, they are top notch! They take pride in considering every detail of your stay. Everything about our room (Wentworth #1) was so cozy, particularly the oversized jacuzzi tub. The bed was so comfortable with amazingly soft sheets. Breakfast was fantastic and included fresh-​squeezed orange juice, sweet breads, fresh local fruit, and a handmade casserole or quiche. The fruit course was our favorite, particularly the fruit parfait of raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, yogurt, and granola. John and Cindy take the time to gather the best local ingredients, create a gourmet breakfast, and then serve it with a smile. Coffee and cookies are always available for guests. We also loved all of the other amenities that the inn had to offer including a common living room with a big screen TV, tons of games and books, a hammock, a dock, and kayaks for all to use. The inn is also conveniently located – close to town, but feels quite remote. We will definitely return!

The Lake House at Ferry Point was the highlight of our 7-​state trip to New England this summer. The hosts are a delightful family… John, Cindy and daughter Libby. We could tell that they love what they do and they love people. The house is meticulously cared for. They provide plenty of lake fun with a small swim beach, paddle boat and kayaks. The gazebo out on the point in the lake is a wonderful place to have a cigar or share a bottle of wine in the evening. The bed was wonderful and the breakfast was delicious, fresh and healthy. I would highly recommend a stay here for a weekend or a week.
