Sometimes the best vacations aren't the ones that require weeks of planning. A simple weekend away can be enough to recharge, reconnect, and return home feeling refreshed.
Perched on more than 500 scenic acres overlooking Lake Winnisquam, Steele Hill Resort offers the perfect setting for a quick escape. Whether you're traveling as a couple, with friends, or bringing the whole family, here's one way to spend 48 unforgettable hours in New Hampshire's Lakes Region.
Friday Evening: Settle In
After checking in, take a few moments to settle into your suite before heading out to explore the property. Many accommodations feature private balconies, making them the perfect place to pause and take in the mountain and lake views before the weekend officially begins.
As the sun starts to set, enjoy a leisurely dinner at the Hilltop Restaurant. With panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and a menu featuring everything from comfort food favorites to locally inspired dishes, it's an easy way to kick off your stay without ever leaving the resort.
Before turning in for the night, take a stroll around the grounds or relax in one of the outdoor hot tubs under the stars.
Saturday Morning: Breakfast and Relaxation
There's no need to rush.
Start your morning with breakfast while overlooking the mountains before spending a few hours enjoying some of Steele Hill's most popular amenities.
Take a swim in the indoor or outdoor pools, unwind in the hot tubs or saunas, or simply relax with a good book while enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
If your idea of vacation includes a little pampering, schedule a treatment at The Vantage Spa at Steele Hill. From massages to body treatments and facials, it's an ideal way to slow down and enjoy a little well-deserved relaxation.
Saturday Afternoon: Choose Your Adventure
One of the best things about staying at Steele Hill Resort is that no two weekends have to look exactly the same.
If you're looking to stay active, tee off on the resort's scenic nine-hole golf course or explore the walking trails that wind throughout the property.
Want to venture out? You're also within easy driving distance of several Lakes Region favorites.
Spend the afternoon exploring the exhibits and walking trails at Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, tour the historic estate at Castle in the Clouds, or browse the shops and waterfront in nearby Meredith. Each offers its own unique perspective on what makes New Hampshire's Lakes Region such a special destination.
Saturday Evening: Slow Things Down
After a full day of exploring, there's something satisfying about returning to the resort with nowhere else you need to be.
Enjoy another relaxing meal at the Hilltop Restaurant or simply take in the view from your balcony as the sky begins to change colors.
Whether you're watching the sunset over the mountains or soaking in the hot tub one last time, it's the kind of evening that reminds you why weekend getaways are worth making time for.
Sunday Morning: One Last View
Before packing up, pour yourself a cup of coffee and step outside for one final look at the view.
It's a quiet moment, but often one of the most memorable.
After breakfast, check out feeling refreshed, already thinking about what you'd like to do on your next visit. Maybe you'll spend more time by the pool. Maybe you'll finally book that spa treatment. Or perhaps you'll explore even more of the Lakes Region.
The best part about Steele Hill Resort is that there's always another reason to come back.
