Ames Farm Inn — Restaurant in Gilford

I have been going to The Ames farm Inn for many years now. Every year I look forward to the amazing view, great people, awesome breakfast, and staying away from technology for the week. We enjoy staying here so much that we now come twice a year. It is so easy to unwind and relax here with the beauty of the lake. The cottages are wonderful to wake up to a beautiful sunrise and it is great to be able to have a dock for your boat. I appreciate that there is no cable TV in the cottages, as it allows you to enjoy the property with the amazing views and you are able to have some great quality time with family and friends. The apartments across the street are convenient on a hot summer night as they have AC and if you have children that can't live without TV, the apartments have cable. There is plenty do with the large lakefront and all of the lawn games. The store is convenient also as they have some candy, local icecream, beverages and shirts / sweats for sale. The sweats have come in handy on chilly NH nights. Thank you Ames Farm Inn for providing amazing memories and many...

I enjoyed my stay at Ames Farm Inn. I stayed in the Annex, which is a farmhouse sectioned into four apartments. This was great as we had a kitchenette, livingroom, table, couch and TV, as well as a separate bedroom. It was quaint and clean. We had breakfast at the restaurant twice and lunch once. It's an adorable throwback to olden times. A short walk across the (busy) street to the nice sandy beach area. A nice porch to hang on and watch the lake and relax. Our only complaint was the cell service was awful, but that's not their fault - they are surrounded by mountains! They do not have wifi, so if this is important, I wouldn't stay there, and I found out when we checked out that the cottages that are right on the water don't even have TV's! So it is a real throwback, but we enjoyed the rest and relaxation very much. Very convenient to the entire lake, and truly an adorable throwback to Ames Farm Inn's roots to over...

This place is a historic gem with great food on Lake Winnipesaukee. For the full experience, arrive by boat and make a reservation—they have convenient numbered docks on the shoreline.

We visited for breakfast and were impressed. They use real NH maple syrup, and the steak and eggs are a must-try.

A pleasant surprise was the "trucker" drinks. They offer two flavors, but my favorite was the strawberry dragon fruit, complete with a fresh strawberry on the rim.

The decor is steeped in history, with lake photos everywhere and even a piece of timber from the 1938 hurricane 🌀 that hit NH and New England.

Their gift shop has a nice selection of mugs and other souvenirs.This is a great place for a special occasion—my family took me here for Father's Day.

I can't comment on the rooms, as we only dined at...
