Bay Side Inn

Recently visited with my family. We were so impressed with the beauty character and charm the place had to offer. Would come back in a heartbeat!

Members of my family have been staying here for tens of years when we have a family event at nearby Pumpkin Point and there is no more room in the house. We recently rented three rooms and enjoyed the beauty that Alton Bay/​Lake Winnipesaukee has to offer. What makes this area special are the mountains, trees and the cool water.
The view is great, the staff is friendly and helpful and the rooms are clean. The rooms are not luxurious and are as nice as a well kept national motel chain room. No coffee maker or fridge in the room. The price is reasonable and is about half of what I just paid to get a room in Boston.
Some of the best times we had were at night when it gets cool enough to sit around the large fireplace under the gazebo. Very nice. We also rented a boat for some water sport and docked at Wolfeboro for lunch.
Five stars for the location and beauty of this family run business.

My boyfriend and I have been coming here for three years now. Once off season and twice in the heat of summer. And each time the staff and owners have attested is the exact same. They are always pleasant and willing to help. This time the owner offered us a room on the water with no extra charge. No complaint here ever! Best view, great room, nice people. They offer coffee and breakfast in the morning, an awesome dock, and tons of boats to rent if you in the mood. Will keep coming back!!!

Rented a pontoon boat from Lakeside Rentals here at the inn. The boat was a great addition to our trip.
Even better were the excellent recommendations and «training» provided by the owner. The time spent before heading out was well worth it. We will be back and rent again!

We had a really nice one night stay here. It is not a super fancy place but it’s clean and comfortable and has a great location just steps from Lake Winnipesaukee. There are two guest options, either motel style rooms or weekly efficiency units. It is family run and everybody was friendly and helpful. The continental breakfast included OJ, good coffee, toast and english muffins with jellies. My wife, who can be picky (I know, how does one account for me?) would like to return; she loved the chairs on our balcony looking out over the lake. One really great extra on site is a separate, covered pavilion with a large common fridge, water, prep areas and a large gas grill where you can cook your own food (nearby restaurant options are limited). This pavilion also has a large fireplace and a big screen TV.

Great place for a family vacation, lots to do, wonderful hosts.

This is the best place to stay in Alton Bay if you are not renting a house. It is on the water. Great, clean swimming. Boat and jetski rental right there — which is awesome. Nice folks. This is where my family has friends stay if we can’t fit everyone.
