Motel & Cottages with Lake Winnipesaukee Views
Accommodations
Half Moon Motel & Cottages offers 24 rooms and cottages with scenic views of Lake Winnipesaukee and the surrounding mountains. Cottages are individual units with kitchenettes, providing additional privacy compared to standard hotel rooms. Each room is decorated with light colors and wood furnishings, and select cottages are dog-friendly for guests traveling with pets.
Amenities
The property features a solar-warmed, king-size swimming pool open daily from 9am to 9pm with a fence around the pool and shallow end. Guests have access to a terrace with patio umbrellas and a hammock, plus on-site parking with options for extra vehicles. Free Wi-Fi is available in every room and common areas, and daily housekeeping is provided twice a week.
Location
Half Moon Motel & Cottages is less than a 5-minute walk from the Winnipesaukee Pier and the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad stop. The hotel is within walking distance of Weirs Beach, shops, restaurants, bars, live music, and arcades. Ellacoya State Park and Mount Washington Cruises are also a short walk from the property.
Pet-Friendly
Dog-friendly cottages are available for guests traveling with pets, offering the convenience of bringing along a furry companion. The cottages include kitchens or kitchenettes for self-catering needs, with outdoor furniture and screened-in decks in select units. The property provides a fenced pool area and access to nearby hiking and fishing for outdoor activities.
Family-Friendly
Families can choose two-room cottages with full kitchens, accommodating up to six guests with a king bed and sofa bed. The seasonal swimming pool has a shallow end suitable for children, and the pool area includes sun loungers and beach chairs. Within a 5-minute walk, families reach the Weirs Beach boardwalk, arcades, and the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad for a full day of activities.

“My exploration of this Weirs Beach property reveals a consistent highlight: the views. From the rooms and cottages, the lake vista is truly a significant draw. While some accommodations present a more dated aesthetic, they are kept clean, and the staff's friendly demeanor and easy check-in process contribute to a pleasant stay. The property's proximity to local attractions is also a notable advantage.”
