History
Located on the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee, Ames Farm Inn was established in 1890 by James Noah Ames on land that had been partially owned by his grandfather who was a pioneer settler of Gilford. Currently, the 4th and 5th generations of the Ames Family are operating the inn. Situated on approximately one hundred and fifty acres of Lake Shore, field, and mountain woodland, a variety of accommodations are offered. A quarter of a mile of sandy beach offers unsuprassed bathing and boating facilities.
