New Hampshire Just Got Its First New Luxury Resort in More Than 100 Years-and It Has 2 Pools and Lake Views

"Opened in late September, The Lake Estate on Winnisquam is the first luxury resort to grace the Granite State since 1902, when the historic Mount Washington Hotel (now the Omni Mount Washington Resort & Spa) ushered guests into the halcyon era of opulent travel. Today, visitors are still transfixed by New Hampshire's alpine wilderness, while the Lakes Region is a cultural touchstone that comprises 273 lakes and ponds,"

"With only a few days to explore the 36-acre resort, I let myself be drawn down a wide gravel path towards the waterfront, past the pollinator gardens lining the great lawn, the 84-degree infinity pool, and through a grove of Eastern white pine to a private beach with lounge chairs, kayaks, and stand-up paddle boards. On a warm September Sunday, just an hour and a half from Boston,"

The Lake Estate on Winnisquam opened in late September as New Hampshire's first luxury resort since 1902, occupying 36 acres on Lake Winnisquam, the state's fourth-largest lake. The property includes a dark brown facade with stone columns and green teak railings, 116 rooms, pollinator gardens, an 84-degree infinity pool, a private beach with kayaks and stand-up paddle boards, and a grove of Eastern white pine. Guests experience quiet waterfront wildlife—loons, mergansers, laughing gulls—and pearly oyster shells within reach. Walking trails and secluded coves link the resort to nearby cottage communities and modern homes. Winnisquam translates to pleasant waters in Abenaki, reflecting an Algonquian presence until the mid-18th century.
