The Spotlight on Center Harbor Inn

Peaceful Lakeside Stays After the Show

Modern yet cozy, Center Harbor Inn sits right on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, offering stunning water and mountain views. This laid-back, 2-star hotel in Center Harbor, NH is a relaxing getaway with a private beach, hot tub, and sauna—perfect for unwinding after a high-energy concert night.
Rooms are simple but comfortable, with flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, and some featuring balconies overlooking the lake. It’s a scenic and stress-free stay that keeps you close to New Hampshire’s popular live music venues without the downtown noise.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate the quiet location—ideal for decompressing after a show. The drive to nearby music venues is scenic and manageable, and the hotel’s flexible check-in at 3 PM and check-out at 11 AM gives you time to rest. The hot tub and sauna are fan favorites for post-show recovery, and with outdoor grills and a shared terrace, there’s space to keep the night going with friends.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a fun lakeside weekend with music and bonfires
  • Solo travelers chasing their dream concerts in New Hampshire
  • Couples turning a show into a romantic lakeside retreat
  • Fans who crave peace and quiet after loud shows
  • Budget-conscious travelers who still want lakeside charm and comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel features grill facilities and is a short walk or drive from local eateries. Fridges in every room help with storing late-night snacks, and nearby diners make grabbing a late breakfast easy after a night out.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself is on the quieter side, you’re within reach of local bars and seasonal live music spots around the lake. Plus, the communal fire pit and terrace offer a chill space to recap the show with friends under the stars.

What People Say

Guests love the beautiful lake views, clean rooms, and friendly staff. Many highlight the hot tub and sauna as perfect for post-concert relaxation. Reviewers also appreciate the peaceful setting and easy access to local attractions.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests noted that there’s no on-site dining, so plan to eat out or bring groceries. Also, while the area is scenic, it’s a bit quieter at night—great for rest, but not for party seekers.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a concert in New Hampshire and want a relaxing, lakeside stay with mountain views and comfy amenities, Center Harbor Inn hits the right note.

Pretty good, AC too loud,...

Liked: The staff is great! Very friendly and helpful. The location on the beach was great too. The rooms were pretty clean and a good size.
Disliked: The air conditioning unit was very loud, and the fan was too strong blowing on us all the time. I would not return due to this fact. The shower had only half a glass door, and the rain head showerhead did not have enough pressure.

Beautiful setting and amenities

Liked: Beautiful setting; perfect location for 4th of July festivities in Center Harbor. Large, comfortable room and big, well stocked bathroom with walk-in shower. Nice balcony. Includes self-serve breakfast from 8-10am; coffee, tea and juices; scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage patties; breads, cereals, muffins, yogurt. There’s a beach area and jacuzzi, and we saw the available kayaks and paddle boards.
Disliked: We liked everything. Adding lighting at the driveway entrance for after dark arrivals would be helpful.

Very good

Liked: The staff were friendly and helpful; the room was large and clean; and the hotel has excellent views of the lake, as well as access to the water. It is located in walking distance of two good restaurants. Plenty of parking is available on site. The breakfast included in the room price offered scrambled egg and bacon.
Disliked: Our room promised a view of the mountains and the lake. Many rooms had this - but the only view from our balcony was of the car park.
