I had a home in Moultonborough for 20 years. It IS further away for everything. If you are a person that just wants to get where you are going, that extra time might become an annoyance. If you like riding on the lake it's beautiful with the mountains in the background. Navigation isn't that tough once you get used to it. Follow the dashed navigation lines on a chart and take your time until you know your way around and you won't have any problems except in a few very tight places. Those aren't along the main navigation routes anyway. A positive of being in that area is that there are a lot of places to kayak and generally the water is calmer. It worked great for me. Oh, the taxes are generally a LOT more reasonable in Moultonborough as well! Also, that "further away" thing applies to services available by car as well. There are smaller, but more expensive places, like Skelley's but, depending exactly where you are, it can be a 20+ minute drive to get to other things, like a hardware or grocery store. If you do a little thinking ahead and get things from several places at once, it isn't a problem.
