Why Concert-goers love it

After a high-energy concert, unwind on the sun terrace or take in the lake views. The peaceful setting is a welcome contrast to the buzz of a live show, and while there's no public transport, parking is free and easy, making late-night returns stress-free.

Who this Hotel is great for

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, many local eateries are just a short drive away—and some offer late-night bites. Select rooms with kitchens let you prepare your own post-show snacks. Breakfast spots are easy to find nearby for those slow, late mornings after a night of music.

Nightlife Options

Though the Inn itself doesn’t host live music or a bar, you’re within quick reach of Gilford’s bars and lakeside lounges. It’s the perfect balance: head out for drinks and fun, then return to a peaceful night by the water.

What People Say

Guests rave about the lake views, friendly staff, and clean, comfy rooms. Many mention the inn’s quiet atmosphere as a highlight, especially after a loud night at a show. The free use of kayaks and paddleboards is a surprise bonus that adds to the experience.

Areas for Improvement

Some travelers mention that the check-out time (10:00 AM) feels a bit early—especially after a late night. There’s also no daily housekeeping, which might be a consideration for longer stays. And while the location is peaceful, you’ll need a car to get around.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a quiet, scenic stay with easy access to Gilford’s concert scene, Belknap Point Inn hits all the right notes.
