Abakee Cottages — Hotel in Laconia

I was recently invited to stay at a cottage for bike week. I had never been to bike week before, or these cottages. Bike week is crazy, lots of people and lots of alcohol. With that said, the cottages are walking distance from the bike week festivities. The cottages themselves are the perfect distance where it's easy to walk, but you can't hear any of the craziness other than bikes during the day. The views from the cottages are amazing, overlooking a large lake and lots of greenery. The cottages we stayed in had a screened in porch, so we weren't getting attacked by mosquitoes at night. Lots of spiders all around the top of the screen! Plenty of room inside the cabin for 3 couples. There is a dock with chairs and easy access to walk into the water, but also access to tie a boat or jet ski to the dock. Small sand area for kids, not that I would recommend bringing them to bike week, but it's there. Would love to go back and maybe see what else the area has to offer besides the craziness...

Started going as a kid abt 14 years old with my parents... (loved it as a kid)...the boardwalk is close (walking distance)..the beach is nice and clean...cottages are well maintained. The staff has always been great!!!. My brother and his family continued to go every year since...I stopped going for abt 20 years due to life changes..I went back for the first year last 2014 with my family and its was great. ...hasn't changed a bit...loved it as a kid..love it more as a adult...A truly great place to take your family on vacation.....I truly look forward to going again this August..and will continue to go...

Beautiful location and cozy cottages. The views of the lake with mountains are beyond words! It was within walking distance of Weirs beach but on the end of a dead end road so still secluded feeling. The cottages have full kitchens and private rooms so it was a great family vacation spot. Staff and owners are always so nice and friendly and constantly working behind the scenes to make...
