Nestled in central New Hampshire, tucked within the beautiful lakes region sits The Inn on Golden Pond. This charming Bed & Breakfast is owned and operated by the Salmon Family. Innkeepers Erica and Mike have three lovely children and two rescue pups. As parents to both children and dogs, they know how important it is for folks to find a getaway that is family-oriented and pet-friendly with all of the upscale amenities but with a feeling of home.

The Inn on Golden Pond offers a total of nine guest rooms and suites, while six of those rooms are dog friendly. Each guest room has it’s own private en-suite full bath that is fully equipped with 5-star luxury linens, spa like bath towels and accessories. In addition, every room has it’s own personally controlled thermostat for heat and air conditioning, a flat screen smart television and a Keurig machine with a fine selection of coffee for you to feel most comfortable while you unwind and relax.

Wake up to a scrumptious breakfast in the main dining area or request to have it delivered to your room. Breakfast, is made fresh to order with eggs that are gathered from the resident chickens on the property. Even your pampered pup can enjoy his morning meal from the doggie breakfast menu with a choice of Woofles, Pooched Eggs, or Chew-Cuterie.

After a filling meal to start the day, guests can take in the fresh air and natural surroundings. Because the area provides a beautiful backdrop for all four seasons, there’s so much for guests to see and do regardless of when they come to visit. However, with the warmer months ahead, since the property is situated just a two-minute walk from Little Squam Lake, guests can enjoy the private beach with or without their pup. The property provides you with the necessities for the lake such as towels, toys, kayaks and life jackets.

Other activities on property can range from s’mores and campfire night to a parent date night so the kids can have a pizza and movie party while parents enjoy dinner out or some alone time. The spacious main living room has a large picture window, a wood burning fireplace and large flat screen TV’s for movies or sports. The library is a quiet space off the dining room that has books and a seating area. The outdoor portion of the property offers patios with two fire-pit areas, a gas grill to cook on, a large wrap around screened-in porch with rocking chairs and a porch swing, lawn games, a children’s play set, farm animals to feed and pet, in addition to seven acres of privately owned, beautifully maintained grounds to enjoy. Even your dog can romp around safely within the 5,000 square foot on-site fully fenced dog park or at the on-site and nearby scenic public hiking trails that are pet-friendly.

As a rather quiet popular tourist destination, Squam Lake is widely known as the filming location for the movie On Golden Pond. The surrounding lake towns provide shopping, theatres, art galleries, and restaurants. The Squam Lakes Natural Science Center offers lake tours by boat, allowing visitors the opportunity to learn a little bit more about the geographical area. By taking a scenic road trip to the White Mountains, which is just a little ways north or by venturing down a little to Lake Winnipesaukee, visitors can explore a little bit more of what the state has to offer.

The Inn on Golden Pond is truly a wonderful destination for all families, especially ones with children and/ or pets. To book your stay, please visit their website www.innongoldenpond.com or call 603-968-7269.
