    The Cottages of Wolfeboro, New Hampshire Invest in a place people call home 1 day to a week at a time. Nine Charming Updated Retro-style 1940’s Cottages and a meticulously maintained 1890s Victorian Home. ® Presented by Michael Travis l REALTOR Serving the Lakes Region NH • Direct: 603.303.2599 • Office: 800.450.7784 www.WolfeboroBusiness.com • www.WaterfrontAgent.com Wolfeboro is known as “America’s Oldest Summer Resort.” It has become one of America’s sought after year round destinations because of its close proximity to all the New England states. New York, Con- necticut, Rhode Island and Massachu- setts are big draws. It represents a town that has every- thing a person or family would call “the good life” with an abundance of healthy activities, natural beauty and small town charm with big town amenities. In 1769, Governor Wentworth of England had a private road engineered through what was truly a wild wilderness from the new coastal town of Portsmouth NH to this specific area to spend his slumbering summers here. Just making the trek was enough to need a rest. Since then, generations have followed. As a result, Wolfeboro became known as “America’s Oldest Summer Resort”. The Cottages of Wolfeboro is a local treasure, a nationally Award winning and Internationally acclaimed destination comprised of 9 Charming updated Retro-style 1940’s Cottages and a meticulously maintained 18 person 1890s Victorian House known as the Cottage Caretakers Quarters, as it was owned by the son of the Historic Wolfeboro Falls Mill. This holiday park is conveniently tucked into the only private woodlands in downtown Wolfeboro, a short walk to town and Lake Winnipesaukee.
