Explore the Lakes

Fernhill Cottages sit on Half Moon Lake in Alton, at the southern tip of New Hampshire’s Lakes Region. With Alton Bay and Lake Winnipesaukee just 10 minutes away, Wolfeboro 20 minutes away, and Weirs Beach in Laconia within 35 minutes, you’re close to it all while still enjoying a quiet, scenic escape.

Explore the Outdoors

Hike Mt. Major for stunning views overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee, or experience the lake from the water aboard the historic Mt. Washington cruise ship. From the water to the hilltops, every view in the Lakes Region is worth taking in.
