I'd still like to know what happened to the Fireside Inn. But the Margate is not far down the road from Gilford.

Do you mean this Fireside Inn? http://firesideinngilford.com/
Your post suggests they're not there ( unless I'm reading it incorrectly) but their booking engine allowed me to check availability, so perhaps that's not what you were inferring.

I think Baytop is open and so is Belknap motel.

The Fireside .. aka B Mae's is still very much open and was going to be my suggestion for IG.

My wife and I stayed there last week-end and I must say we were quite impressed -- very clean rooms (cable tv), nice pool and hot tub (which we used) and it's obvious location. Although we did not sled, it would appear to me that you could sled off right from the parking lot --

IG - we got a "Managers Special" for $89/nite for a King bedroom by calling and not using the web booking. I don't believe there is anything unique about the special as we got the same deal last year in February when we ventured up.

.....and they're pet-friendly! I got a kick out of this on their website...

When asked if we allow dogs at our hotel, here's what we generally reply:
"Dogs are welcome in this hotel. We've never had a dog that smoked in bed and set fire to the blankets. We've never had a dog who stole the towels, played the TV too loud or had a fight with his traveling companion. We've never had a dog who got drunk and broke up the furniture. So, if your dog can vouch for you, you're welcome, too".

I love that mcdude!!!! I should print it out and take it to every hotel or motel that we go to with ours.

Fireside/B Mae's sounds like what you are looking for. You can snowmobile over to Patricks and get on the trails there. There is also a trail behind the parking lot which has access to the lake

IG,

Are you thinking that the ice will not be ready so you can stay on the island?

What about the FREE HIGH SPEED INTERNET that was a must. Do most Motels have High speed internet????

I usually stay at B Maes for the ice derby. Their website says they now have free high speed wired through out. Wi-Fi in the lobby.

They give AAA discounts too.
