Wakefield Inn


  • Inn Details

    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!
