Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans love the peaceful lakeside location just a short drive from seasonal outdoor music festivals and venues in Meredith, Gilford, and Laconia. After a high-energy night, the quiet, scenic setting makes for the perfect recovery spot. With a flexible 4:00 PM check-in, fans arriving from afar can settle in before heading to the show. Free parking and a paid airport shuttle make logistics easy, even for those flying in.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a homey base with shared outdoor areas
• Solo travelers attending a bucket-list gig who want comfort and quiet
• Couples turning a concert night into a full romantic getaway
• Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space with mountain air and lake views
• Budget-conscious music fans who don’t want to compromise on charm or cleanliness

Food and Drink Options

Start the day after the show with a generous à la carte or American breakfast including local specialties and fresh pastries. There's an on-site snack bar for quick bites, and BBQ facilities are available during warmer months—perfect for a post-show hangout. While there’s no formal restaurant, several walkable dining options are nearby in Center Harbor.

Nightlife Options

While the B&B itself keeps things laid-back, you’re just a short drive from bars and lounges in Meredith and Laconia. Return to your room for a quiet night in with your own streaming service and a glass of wine, or enjoy the terrace views under the stars.

What People Say

Guests rave about the beautiful scenery, exceptionally clean rooms, and thoughtful touches like complimentary treats and cozy décor. Many mention how peaceful and relaxing the property feels—especially after a busy day or night out. The friendly staff and personal service also get high marks.

Areas for Improvement

Check-out is a bit early at 10 AM, which might feel rushed after a late concert night. The rural location means you'll likely need a car or ride service to get to most venues or nightlife. But that’s also part of the charm.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a peaceful, scenic, and cozy place to recharge after a concert, Center Harbor Sutton House B & B delivers New England charm with music-fan-friendly comfort.
