Comfy and cozy one night stay while catching a show next door at Bank NH Pavilion. Very clean unit in building 3 which is right next to the path to Bank NH Pavilion venue entrance (two minute walk along wooded trail). Room was easy to book online. Easy and check in and check out. Very clean and relaxing beach area on the lake.

Concert venue is very close by, the rooms were clean but outdated. The front desk girl Olivia was fantastic and very helpful!

Pretty awesome spot, stayed Beachside at the Misty Harbor Escape. Less than 1/10th mile into the VIP entrance of the NH Pavillion. Great Winnipesaukee Beach and views of the mountains. Gunstock Ski Resort is nearby.

I stayed here in the winter, so I'll speak to the off-season. It was easy to arrive late and still get our room key. The parking lot was cleared of snow. The room is adorable and have a binder with things to do in the area (which we got great use of and found very helpful). The climate control worked well in the room. And in the bathroom, there's a heat lamp outside of the shower so you can stand in the heat when you first step out of the shower. That was nice! Everything was recently renovated, very clean, and comfortable. The beds were sooo comfortable and we slept really well! I'd go here again, it's a great and cute place!

Stayed in one of the rooms through VRBO, and it was awesome! The room itself had just enough space for 2-3 people in the single bedroom option and the deck that it came with as well was perfect! While the pool and hot tub were under construction, we visited the small beach which was a short walk from the room which was perfectly sized with a good amount of picnic tables and grills for some early season grilling. The views of the white mountains and Mt.Washington contributed to the overall ambience to the resort. I would highlighy recommend a stay here and will hopefully be back!

This was our second time staying here first time was last year for a concert. It is a two minute walk to the Nh bank pavilion and well secured. First time We stayed in a Suit in building 3 it was nice and roomy. This time we stayed in the motel it was OK nothing fancy a bit outdated and could use a few minor updates that would make it much better. 1st there should be a side table on each side of the beds not just between the two beds, 2nd a few hooks in the bathroom to hang up robes or clothes, somewhere in the shower to hang up a loofah or wash cloth and either weights on the shower curtain to keep it in place or a more heavy duty curtain. Curtains on the windows to keep the sun out in the morning the blinds let to much light in and last would be a table to eat on. There was a small desk like table with two stools however if there are more than two people staying in the room theres no room to eat. All that being said it is a great location for concerts. We will definitely stay here again.
