Wolfeboro holds a singular place in New Hampshire history as the nation's oldest summer resort — a title it has carried since 1763 when Governor John Wentworth built his summer estate on the eastern shore of Lake Winnipesaukee.
Today, Wolfeboro is a community of roughly 6,500 year-round residents that swells considerably each summer as seasonal homeowners and visitors arrive. The downtown village, with its boutiques, restaurants, and waterfront promenade, is one of the most charming in the state. The surrounding landscape features lakefront estates, hillside retreats, and comfortable year-round homes that range from modest cottages to multi-million-dollar waterfront properties.
Moving in Wolfeboro requires a professional team that understands the unique demands of lakefront access, seasonal timing, and the protection of high-value furnishings. Many properties sit at the end of long, wooded driveways with limited space for large trucks. White glove handling — including custom furniture wrapping, proper crating of artwork and antiques, and placement service upon delivery — is often the right choice for Wolfeboro's more valuable homes.
Whether you are arriving in Wolfeboro for the first time, transitioning from a seasonal to year-round residence, or moving between Wolfeboro and Alton, Ossipee, Moultonborough, or Tuftonboro, Dakota's brings the care this community deserves.
