Pickering House, a historic boutique hotel in Wolfeboro

Pickering House is a luxury boutique hotel located in downtown Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, in the Lakes Region. It occupies what was once the home of one of the town's most prominent citizens and reopened as a hotel in the summer of 2018 after a meticulous restoration. The property presents itself as a leading accommodation for discerning visitors to New England and the Lake Winnipesaukee area, combining modern amenities with the character of a historic building.

Accommodation and services

The hotel has ten spacious guest rooms, each with its own unique features and amenities. Included services feature a gourmet breakfast, attentive service and extras for guests. Its location is central, next to the docks, shops and restaurants of Wolfeboro, making it possible to walk to Lake Winnipesaukee.

The Barn: events and celebrations

The attached barn, The Barn at Pickering House, blends the rustic charm of a restored 19th-century barn with modern amenities and proximity to downtown. It is offered as an exclusive space for wedding weekends, executive retreats, family reunions and private gatherings. The hotel states that it hosts a select number of private events each year and that the Wolfeboro setting, with its scenery and downtown, is well suited to intimate gatherings, engagements, weddings or elopements. Specific micro wedding packages are also announced, available between November 1, 2026 and May 9, 2027.
