I have lived in New Hampshire all my life and I’ve worked in the hotel business for over 10 years. The Anchorage is a seasonal property, which has given me a variety of experiences that I truly enjoy. I have met some great people and have made many friends through my work at The Anchorage at the Lake.

Cottages are old and dated. The flooring has several metal strips holding seams together. The shower was so small that any above average size person would have a tough time not getting everything wet. The exteriors peeling paint made it seem as if we were in a horror movie. Paid for 2 nights left after 1

Well, my wife and I needed a place to stay while visiting our son over the weekend. I found the Anchorage at the Lake. The pictures online looked nice and it had a 4.4 star rating, so I booked it. I understood it would be a ‘cabin’ with no tv, but that was ok. Well, here is my review:
Ok, so this weekend my wife and I went up to see our son in NH, and this was the first time, in the history of my history, that I checked in to someplace and then immediately checked OUT of that same place. We made reservations at the Anchorage at the Lake in Tilton, NH. The pictures online looked nice. It has 4.4 stars, but the ‘cabin’ we got was something out of Friday the 13th. We basically opened up the cabin, put some beer in the fridge, went for dinner, desperately called about 6 hotels until we found one and then drove back, grabbed our bag and the beer, dropped the key off in the ‘drop box’ and drove 40 minutes North to Econo Lodge (we LOVE YOU Econo Lodge!). I can’t believe, even in the ‘prime season’, they would rent this place to anyone. If you are more than 5 feet tall and weigh more than 110 pounds, don’t plan on taking a shower. Be careful opening the fridge, it might fall on top of you. Pay no attention to that thermostat on the wall. HA HA!!! There are two small plug in heaters to provide you the heat you need. And don’t mind the dirt, rust and mold. It’s all part of the experience. No idea how this place has 4.4 stars.

This is what family type vacation should be. No electronic devices, just a beautiful lake setting, comfy cottages, boating, night camp fires, snores and memories. Angela was available for whatever we needed. The cabin was clean, had fresh towels, comfy beds and was located right near the water. Just about 15 minutes from Weir Beach and plenty of attractions near by, the Anchorage is located in just the right spot. I think that in a couple of years, with a few upgrades, this will be the place to stay at in the summer and Fall.

Just a great spot to unwind and enjoy being outside. Eight years and counting for us!

I agree with the previous review, this place is just what a family vacation should be. If possible, the cabins on the beach are the best. The cabins are very comfortable with everything one needs. From the office you can rent canoes, horse shoes, and all sorts of games for free and you can also buy smore kits. We loved our two days here. Very relaxing and peaceful.

This is place represents how a family vacation should be! Simple cabins with just the basics give you that «outdoorsy,» «camping feel,» but close enough to civilization that you aren’t paying to pretend to be homeless.
Great for the kids, the lake is crystal clear and they let you use their kayaks and canoe’s for free. You can also bring pets and they even have a separate beach where you can bring dogs.
We had a 1 bedroom and with a pullout couch between 3 adult and one child. There was no TV which made us make use of all the activities you can do on the grounds. There is cell phone service though which was great.
The grounds are kept up and the staff is great. They are there, but not breathing down your necks. The grocery store is close and Weirs Beach is only a 20 minute ride.
Overal, Anchorage at the Lake is affordable and one of the best vacations we’ve ever had .
We will definitely be back next year

Wonderful well kept grounds right on a beautiful lake!
The cabins are definitely «rustic» but are exactly as I expected. We had a great screened in porch and everything we needed for a long weekend!
We took the free kayaks out twice which was great. Every night they have a campfire that everyone can use. Plus several nice beaches and ping pong and other activities.
The location is great and the grounds are huge and well maintained. There is noise from the road but I don’t think all cabins would experience this and it looked like all of the other places on the lake would experience this as well.
It is nice being so close to town, it is very close to several large grocery stores and a number of great restaurants.
Would definitely return!

Great family friendly campground! The studio cabin we got for mid-​week was very reasonably priced. It comes stocked with linens & some housewares (but bring your own steak or other sharp knife!) my chief complaint is with the floors– they were absolutely filthy. I’m not talking a little bit of leaves & sand; I mean built up grime that requires deep cleaning, so bring some slippers & some shower shoes. Oh, and the screens needed some minor repair on the porch. The beaches are very nice (except for some fireworks debris strewn across one section.) There are complimentary canoe & kayak rentals which were great. We also checked out a short hiking trail which was peaceful in the morning (but bring your bug spray!) I wasn’t crazy about the fact that you can hear the traffic from the busy road, but the lake is so beautiful that it made up for it. They also let us do a later check-​out at 11 instead of 9 for no extra charge. And our after hours check-​in was very simple which was nice after a long drive.

7 of us were looking for a place to stay as the base for a bachelor party weekend based around some paint balling and power boating. We found the Anchorage at the Lake as a housing option and went for it. And it was perfect!
We rented a cabin for rather low rates, and everyone got their own bed. The bathrooms were fine, the beds were fine, and the staff was courteous and helpful. There was also a very nice beach with a decent volleyball net (they provided a high-​quality volleyball as well), and hanging out late into the night by the outdoor fire pit was a great time. Would definitely recommend for people looking for a place to stay in the area!

We stayed here over the weekend. We weren’t expecting much. Cabins can either be really nice with a luxurious mattress and bedding or bare-​boned with just 4 walls. This was was somewhere in between. (Probably on the lower end of the «in between» side.) It did the job. We also got a great deal so we were ok with it.
The cabin was furnished with whatever you need (coffee maker, kitchenette, fridge, pots/​pans, dishes, towels, etc.) but it was just adequate. Our cabin doesn’t seem to have ever renovated since it first opened; our screened in porch’s floor was falling apart. The floors are definitely dirty (bring flip flops!). The bedroom was clean and tidy.
Management’s welcome letter states that they are in the process of renovating and updating the cabins. I hope so! It has potential to be a nice little place by the lakes.

My only complaint is that we didn’t stay long enough!
This place has plenty to do right on the grounds, and its right on a lake (obviously). Paddle boats and canoes are included in your stay! It’s pretty awesome. They also have a beautiful patio overlooking the lake.
There’s trails in the woods on the property, and a few little beaches that you can hike to.
The cabin itself was adorable, and the perfect size. I love that this place doesn’t fuss about the number of guests you have in the cabin, and will make a darn good effort to accommodate your group, no matter what size. We were able to sleep six of us comfortably in a one bedroom cabin, and there were plenty of pots/​pans/​plates/​cups for all of us in the kitchen area.
We loved the screened-​in porch! Every cabin has one.
I will definitely be returning in the spring.
