The Belknap Point Motel Location The Belknap
Point Motel provides lodging in Gilford on Lake Winnipesaukee in
the heart of the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. The view of Lake Winnipesaukee and its
bordering mountains is spectacular. With the Ossipees to the east, the
foothills of the White Mountains to the north, and Mount Washington appearing on nice clear days, it is beautiful.
We offer efficiency units directly on the waterfront that accommodate one or two adults. The rooms are very cottage like but all under one roof. The building set back on the hill is our motel lodging offering traditional style motel rooms to accommodate adults and children, each with private balconies overlooking the marvelous view.
