Accomodations near Lees Mills
 

I'm heading up on Thurs. for two days. I plan on using Lees Mills to launch. I hear it's free. Any suggestions as to hotels in that area that allows trailer parking? Also some directions to the ramp would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike C.

I believe there is a motel called "Berry Pond Motel" - not sure. It is on the right heading east on Rt 25 just before you get to the Moultonborough airport. I do not know if they have parking for trailers. There is also Red Hill Inn and cottages, also on Rt 25. I think it is next to Grill 25, again not sure.

Keep in mind, the annual steamboat rally starts next weekend. You may have trouble finding a parking place at Lee's Mill.

Depending when you are arriving, you won't be the only one in that area.
There are other free launches on Winnipesaukee to consider if your trip coincides with this event.

Olde Orchard Inn...
 

Olde Orchard Inn in Moultonborough is very nice. Great people who own it too. Very quiet and secluded. Near the Woodshed. We loved it there when we went.
