NASWA Resort

New Hampshire


If you like to be in the thick of the action, pack your suntan lotion and best sun-n-fun attire for this festive, multi-building resort overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee. Rooms aren't posh, considering the price point, but they are fresh and fairly modern. Overall, the staff give a darn despite the busyness. Private beach, a lakeside bar and a restaurant on-site.

The name of the resort is an acronym for its natural spring waters. The pet fee is $25 per pet per night.
