The Follansbee Inn is in quiet North Sutton, NH on Kezar Lake. We had our family style wedding here last September where our families came from all over the country and world (My nieces from Japan are in the picture above). We have been visiting this inn every summer for the past 3 or 4 years. It is situated on a small bucolic lake.
It is a rambling old house with 18 guest rooms spread over two floors (not including the ground floor which has the comfortable sitting areas and breakfast room) all with different decor,
and many with a/c. If you are an early riser you may hear the eerie
calls of the loons on the lake. The breakfasts made by the owners of
the Inn, Cat and Denis Sword, are the best I've ever had. Cat and Denis
are from New Orleans so it is a very southern cuisine, think candied
praline bacon, biscuits the size of your face and light as a cloud, and
cheese grits.
Our favorite part of this inn is that they provide kayaks, canoes, and a little sailboat to enjoy on the lake which has a tiny uninhabited island filled with blueberry bushes which provide an awesome snack late July to mid August. They also have a small barn filled with road bikes and even a tandem bike to ride on the 3 mile lane around the lake.
The nearest town, 5 miles away, is New London, NH which is home to Colby Sawyer College. This town has many excellent restaurants to try out. Our favorite is Peter Christians, a cozy pub with table in curved brick nooks. On a cool night the best seat is near the fireplace.
There is lots to explore in this part of New Hampshire, so if your looking for a weekend away and you like a do-it-yourself summer camp style vacation
check it out!
