The 1810 House B&B’s name denotes the actual age of the B&B building itself. The attached structure which houses the owner’s portion of the complex dates to 1760 when the property was a dairy farm. Adjacent to current NH route 28 you can still see remnants of the original old road which connected Ossipee NH and NH Route 109 – Governor John Wentworth Highway to Wolfeboro. Surely the dairy farm was a well-known landmark to King George’s Provincial Governor John Wentworth who would regularly pass it while traveling to the town center and back to his summer residence on Smith Pond, now Lake Wentworth. The more recent history of the 1810 House is it was the hub of Allen Albee’s, Allen A Resort. This expansive 400 acres resort provided accommodations for up to 325 guests per week in 95 cottages and 5 lodges.
The 1810 House B&B property still includes its historic 1760 three-story Dairy Barn which was extended an additional 31 feet in the 1800s to its current 91’ length. As one of the oldest barns in NH, this antique barn brings pleasure to all who enter, not only to enjoy its post and beam construction, but also to meander through the booths of antiques offered up to all who enter for purchase. What better way to remember your visit to the “Oldest Summer Resort in America” than by bringing home your own piece of history!

The 1810 house offers not only a rich history but also amenities uncommon in B&Bs such as both Jacuzzis and showers in all private suites. The suites are appropriately named for the three major nearby lakes (Winnipesaukee, Wentworth, and Crescent). The B&B is uniquely designed and offers its guests the privacy of their own space without sharing the B&B’s common areas with the Inn’s Proprietors.
