Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Combining timeless New England charm with a boutique finesse, this historic homestead in downtown Wolfeboro has been transformed from a 19th-century estate into an award-winning inn and event venue nestled just blocks from iconic Lake Winnepesaukee.
- The soaring post-and-beam reception barn is bursting with authentic character: Think vintage brick, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a twinkle-lit loft. Outside, a vine-draped pergola and glowing bistro lights offer a lovely backdrop for al fresco ceremonies or toasts under the stars.
- Take over the Pickering House’s 10 curated guest rooms for the whole weekend, whether your guest count leans more “micro” or “macro.” All overnight stays also include use of the lovely common areas, porches, and patios, as well as a gourmet breakfast served each morning for those lucky enough to join you for the duration.
