Whittier slept here. In 1880 the American poet John Greenleaf Whittier stayed in this room while visiting the Lakes Region of New Hampshire.
Exposed beams, canopy bed and garden view create a setting of peace and tranquility.
Quilted nights in this room overlooking the garden. Curl up with a book and enjoy a hot cup of tea and some fresh baked cookies.
Down comforters on the beds to envelope you as you sleep, then wake to the sunrise over the mountains. Custom drapery and bed accents are just some of the fine touches in this room.
Romance surrounds you in our King room. Order breakfast in bed or enjoy an evening snuggled up enjoying a glass of champagne and rediscovering each other.
Our spiral staircase rises to the third floor. One of the tallest free standing spiral staircases in New Hampshire.
Fresh flowers by by your bedside.
Afternoon tea in the Whittier room.
Walk through our gardens, find a place to sit in the shade and enjoy the sound of the birds and the water.

Today's guests are welcomed by Janel Martin to the Federal Colonial home built in 1804. Upon arrival you are greeted in the Foyer, notice the flying spiral staircase, one of only a few in existence. Then escorted to one of six comfortable guest rooms, to enjoy a restful sleep snuggled under a Down comforter and a handemade quilt. Enjoy an evening beverage as you cozy up to the rare beehive firplace to gaze through the windows still with their shotgun shutters to the beautiful landscape beyond. Early travelers arrived by stagecoach, where their luggage was handed up through the second floor doorway that is still visible today. The Wakefield Inn is one of 28 Historic buildings making up Wakefield Corner, which is listed on the Natonal Registry of Historic Places.

My husband, 6 month old son and I stayed at the Wakefield Inn for two nights. I have to say I had read the reviews prior to our arrival and was worried that we would be met with unwelcoming behavior and nothing was farther from the truth. Gretchen was very warm towards my son and was very accomodating in showing us around the beautiful common rooms and in helping us to our room. We were provided with a pack n play for our son (we had let them know ahead of time that he was coming with us) and were even permitted to switch to a larger unoccupied room to house all of his various items. Gretchen was very helpful in suggesting activities and even keeping an eye on our son while we dined. The rooms were beautiful with historical context and appropriate decor. Very comfortable. Yes, the bathrooms were tiny and there were not many channels on tv but we weren't there to enjoy cable tv. I was happy to have drinks available all night to us in the dining area and we were very warm. The bed was incredibly comfortable. The best sheets I have ever slept on. The food was delicious and I enjoyed eating with the other guests. I can say that the owner, Janelle may come across as brusque as first, but she is not truly that way once you talk to her. I think she is just a direct person and othes may find that oft putting. I found her to be very entertaining and funny. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the cooking classes she offered and liked her very much. I recommend the Wakefield Inn to any couple looking for a getaway!

What a treat this place was. My wife and I went up here for a few days after our wedding to relax and it turned out to be such a pleasant and clean place with reasonable prices. Janel & Gretchen make sure you are taken care of with the food and amenities. The cooking class with the Chef and Owner Janel was AMAZING and so much fun. The messages in our rooms were perfect and the breakfast in bed really was the cherry on top. It's 15 minutes to Wolfeboro and right off Rt. 16. Easy access to all eastern New Hampshire sites. It's also less then 30 mins to the Castle in the Clouds which is a much see.

Everything was top notch. We has a wonderful stay and look forward to going back. Janel's breakfasts and dinner was scrumptious! Cooking class was fun and very knowledgeable - hands on a plus! Janel and Gretchen have a real gem!
4.6 out of 5They've thought of everything
September 16, 2011
The Wakefield Inn has thought of everything and it shows in every interaction. They’ve nurtured partnerships with a fantastic mug maker, a fine sheets company, and a local massage spa. They were helpful at every turn, and helped us pick a great time to visit and activities while we were there. I even forgot my book, and that was no problem as they have a pretty big library. All the food is fantastic! The only thing I wish I did better is make sure I could have spent more time in the area... Next time!!
3.0 out of 5Pleasant, but underwhelming stay
September 15, 2011
This inn has tons of potential, but the innkeepers seem like they are tired and a little burnt out. Nothing was terribly wrong, but we did not feel like it was a special vacation like we normally do at B&B's. I would not recommend the Thompson room though. We are small people and could barely fit in that closet of a bathroom. We were not given a choice of rooms and were a little bit sad to have been placed in the smallest room of the inn when there were vacancies elsewhere. Other than that, it's a decent place, but probably will not return.
5 out of 5Great sister weekend!!
August 30, 2011
"" My sister and I went to the Inn for a girls getaway weekend. We had a fantastic time! The food was amazing and I really enjoyed the cooking class. I made the soup we learned to make the night I got home. Yum! We stayed during hurricane Irene which turned into a fun little adventure. Without power Janel treated all the guests to an amazing 5 course dinner which we all enjoyed together by candle light. Overall, a very different and fun experience. I highly recommend the Wakefield Inn to anyone who wants to relax and enjoy some fabulous food.
