Take a look at the Inn At Smith Cove in Gilford. My wife and I spent a weekend there and really enjoyed it. They have a dock for guests.

Try the Bay Side Inn on 11d in alton about 5 mins from Sandy Point. Just rented a house on 11d and I never knew it was there my aunt stayed there and said it was great. It's really cute and you can do either hotel type room or apt type room. There was vacancy there last week not sure about now but surely worth a try. Good Luck

Channel Cottages
We stay at Channel Cottages and always have a great time. The cottages are simple but very well maintained. They seem to get better every year!

Inn At Smith Cove
I wouldn't recommend Inn At Smith Cove. My wife and I stayed there about a year ago and had to leave early we were so unhappy. When we checked in there was only one other room occupied besides ours. The next day, my father and brother came up to visit for the day. It rained all day and my dad and brother were on motorcycles. Being that the inn was 95% empty, I figured we'd rent another room for them to stay and give the owners a little extra business. The next morning we went out for a boat ride and came back 2 hours late for checkout time. Being that the inn was mostly empty, we didn't think it was a big deal. Well, It was a big deal. The man who owns the inn read us the riot act about missing checkout time. I felt really bad about this and offered to pay for the extra day. This wasn't good enough for the owner, he continued yelling at us, and treated us like crap for the rest of our stay. He said that we cost him a regular who had reserved that particular room for his stay. Since he couldn't have his "regular" room he canceled his whole stay. I understand why he did this, but I dont understand why the owner would give us this particular room when the whole rest of the Inn was empty. Anyway, I paid the extra night and spent the rest of my vacation angry. I finally ended up leaving early just so I wouldn't have to look at these people and listen to them whine anymore.
Incidentally, I noticed the owners watching us out their window the whole the whole time we were there. This really creeped me out. |

Unless they recently revised their policy, you are ABSOLUTELY correct VtSteve. I remember looking into the Margate for friends of ours not too long ago and seem to remember $100/nite for the slip ----- Truely outragious in my humble opinion.
Perhaps it's a way for them to discourage boaters from staying, if so -- It worked for me !

place to stay with dockage
While I have never stayed here personally, a very trusted friend often stays at Christmas Island Resort. He says they have dockage, and that it's a great place to stay. It's on paugus Bay and I think they have a website. I'm probably going to try this place myself sometime soon, i'll let you know how it is.

Here's www.centerharborinn.com, which is located in, you guessed it, Center Harbor, on the water and has a number of docks. I see various bass boat trailers parked on their lawn up by the road, from time to time. Must be fish'n for bass or something, ya know?

The Island is good, also -- however, be sure you have plenty of bumpers for your boat, and tie them well to your boat, not the dock. Docks are parallel to Paugus Bay, and kind of in an inlet, so the wakes get concentrated in there................ Boat can sustain some heavy damage if not well protected with the bumpers. If you visit, be sure to eat in the restaurant and ask for the GRILLED prime rib -- especially if Tony is cooking that night!

SAUGUS BOATER...
Sorry to hear about your stay. My wife and I visited The Inn At Smith Cove back in the fall of '04. Perhaps things have changed since then. I can only hope that if there has been a marked change (not for the better) that the owners see your post and take stock in it.

Hi. I know you have already had lots of replies, but in spite of previous negative comments on this forum, I HIGHLY recommend the NASWA. I have been going there for pretty much the past 17 years and have always had a great time. Also, there is no docking fee for guests. It is close to everything, and a great place to people watch when you're not out on the lake! Wherever you stay, enjoy your trip!!!

How about Silver Sands?
We have been staying at Silver Sands Motel in Gilford for over 13 years. They have a marina with slips for your boat. They are usually booked but you might luck out this summer because of the weather. There is also a pool that is heated. I would highly recommend this motel.

This place, Colonial Pines is actually in Moultonborough but in Center harbor Cove. Very nice couple run it and very family friendly.
