Inn at Pleasant Lake

Starting at some point in September we will have a company here to lift our antique barn and pour a finished basement.  We are really excited for this which might seem a bit odd, but we have always been short on storage space and the thought of a clean and open area is wonderful.  We will have a nice spot to put our canoes and kayaks in the winter and a nice home for our big tractor.  Finally we can move the majority of our catering equipment out of our housekeeping area in the basement below our commercial kitchen.  The contractor will be lifting the entire structure, straightening it and then pouring a foundation.  The entire barn will be elevated an additional 30 inches after the foundation is in.

We will post pictures as the project unfolds.

Psychic Medium Spiritual Weekend Event Schedule 2010

In April of 2009 and 2010, Linda and Brian attended the Discover New England International Tourism Summit to begin selling the inn to international travelers via tour receptives here in the US and Tour Operators overseas.  We met with German, English, French, Italian, Dutch and Chinese tour operators to discuss selling our country inn rooms to this market.  Our region of the state is often passed over with many of the tours going to The coast of Maine, up to North Conway, across to Vermont and down throught the Berkshires and Connecticut before heading back to Boston to fly back to Europe.  Pecco Beaufays from the Highland Lake Inn in East Andover and our inn hope to change this and welcome more travelers to our beautiful part of the state of NH. 

In April 2009 we signed two contracts, one with a tour receptive in Boston and another one in NYC.  These were for April 2010-April 2011, so this is our first season being sold to these overseas travelers.  We welcome our first internationals through this program at the end of August and have many different couples arriving through the end of October.  It seems predominantly Italian and German couples are booked.

We are excited to have these customers come and feel confident that they will enjoy the beauty of the Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee Region as much as we do.

One of the most spectacular times to dine at The Inn at Pleasant Lake is during a full moon.  These photos were taken back in June of 2010 and it’s no wonder that legend has it that a full moon rising above Mt. Kearsarge is said to have  inspired the song, When The Moon comes over the Mountain, sung by Kate Smith as her theme song for The Kate Smith Show in the 1930′s.  

Upcoming full moons:  Tuesday, August 24 (dining room closed, but inn is open for rooms)
                                               Thursday, September 23
                                               Saturday, October 23

      It has been a busy summer for the Inn at Pleasant Lake.  The tired, sandy driveway was given new life during that really hot week in July.  The guys from J&B Landscaping worked really hard in that 95+ degree heat to provide us with a beautiful new bluestone driveway and garden wall.  We love the results as do many of the guests that have seen the new change.  This summer has been one of the best for our guests hoping for a warm, dry vacation.  What great weather we are having!  We hope you get a chance to be here yourself!
