Description   St. Peter's-on-the-Mount B&B

Description of Surrounding Area

We are located on a hill above pristine Squam Lake, the second largest lake in New Hampshire. The water is crystal clear and famous for kayaking and canoeing. This area is also surrounded by all kinds of hills and mountains, including the famous White Mts. of NH. It is full of hiking and biking trails and scenic vistas. Within a 2 min. drive is also the Science Center of NH full of live animal exhibits and summer programs for all ages.

Description of Accommodations

Our large, historic stone church was built in 1888 and is a famous local landmark. It was featured in a write-up in YANKEE MAGAZINE in Jan. 1991 pg. 80-86. The church sits in a lovely clearing surrounced by tall pines and hardwoods.
The magnificent turrets, gardens and stonework constantly stop passersby. There is an outside deck area in back and a scenic brick patio in front. Inside the 4500 sq. ft. structure there is a modern solarium spa with guest hot-tub and glass tables for sunny breakfasts. Throughout, the antique woodwork and stone masonry is softened by the light from 30 original stained-glass windows. There is also a formal diningroom available to guests. Daily, huge, home-made gourmet breakfasts are served at guests' convenience.

Description of Rooms/Suites

The guest suite is luxurious with stained glass, 6 opening glass windows, two bathrooms featuring woodwork from the original church altar, stereo, queen bed, phone, armoire and couch. The guest room adjoins the solarium spa and formal dining/living room.
