1848 Inn & Resort, landmark Weirs hospitality property, sold

LACONIA — New Hampshire Business Sales announces the sale of 1848 Inn and Resort, a landmark Weirs Beach hospitality property located on Route 3.

Carl and Kathy Daniels, who have owned the property since the early 2000s, decided to sell their popular resort property to pursue other interests. The buyer will be making his own announcement in the future.

During their management, the Daniels made many improvements and helped to preserve the resort’s strong connection with Lakes Region visitors, attracting repeat visitors through the various seasons of the year. The resort consists of a motel segment, cabin, modular home, duplex and main house.

"This is a traditional hospitality property in a good location and potential for growth," commented business intermediary Mike LaPierre, the New Hampshire Business Sales associate who brokered the sale.

The close proximity to Weirs Beach and Lake Winnipesaukee was of major interest to prospective buyers who considered the acquisition opportunity.

"Our marketing efforts for this kind of property continue to attract a new generation of buyers," said John Howe, vice president of NHBS. “We continue to be bullish on the hospitality sector. The recent economy has been challenging, but New Hampshire continues to attract visitors who seek opportunities to swim in our lakes, hike in our mountains and kick back and relax with their families."

LaPierre said the Daniels will assist in a smooth transition with the new owner as the operation will maintain the same care and service it has been known for providing through the years. He has been selling businesses for over 25 years.
