We're located in the heart of the Lakes Region

New Hampshire's 1848 Inn and Resort is an easy walk to Weirs Beach, and minutes away from shopping and dining opportunities in lovely Meredith, NH. We are withing two hours of Boston, the White Mountains, and the Atlantic coast.

We Offer Unrivaled hospitality

Stay at the 1848, enjoy unrivaled hospitality, and wake to the soft sound of the breeze in the surrounding pines. Enjoy your complementary, fresh-brewed, morning coffee before setting out to enjoy all the area has to offer. All units have picnic and barbecue areas, and share a kiddie area with a swing and slide. Older children will enjoy the game room and basketball hoop, while children of all ages will gravitate to the large pool with slide. We're across the street from Kellerhaus, a renowned ice cream/gift shop, and within walking distance of the Weirs Beach Water Slide, the Drive-In Theatre, Mini-Golf Course, Winnipesaukee Playhouse, and the Weirs Boardwalk.

We Are a Historic Inn Site

Built in 1848 as an inn and as a carriage stop, the original owners were active abolitionists who harbored runaway slaves bound for Canada. The small room used to hide these fugatives was discovered some 100 years later by the children of the current owner. During those 100 years, the 1848 served as a functioning cow farm and was tied to all the land that currently lies between Route 3 and Parade Rd. During the grand hotel era of Weirs Beach, the 1848 was known as the Batchelder Farm, owned by a branch of that same family who owned much of the land along New Hampshire's seacoast. Recently, letters written by the Batchelders were discovered tucked away in the attic of the main house. For the past five decades, however, the 1848 has been a family owned and operated establishment geared toward families. Here at the 1848, not only do we have a rich history, but we have a history rich in hospitality.

Hosted by a Local Family

Recently bought by a local family, the Inn is now hosted by Carl and Kathy Daniels who will provide you with hospitality that will live up to the Inn's reputation. Read the Lakes Region Community News article to learn more about them.
