What About Bristol?

My in laws have a place on a lake up there and I have visited several times over the years during all 4 season.

It is a great place to relax any time of year. Very calm. Even Newfound Lake is on the lighter side of boat and beach traffic vs Winni. It is a good solid 30 minute drive from 93 to get to the lake and maybe 20 to the center of town from 93 too. Nice, clean, lots of town pride, etc.

You need be able to enjoy the quiet side of things and expect a LONG drive for any big box or even anything close to big box stores.

There isnt a hell of a lot to do up there especially in the off season. If you want nice and quiet local small New England, it isnt a bad choice. To quiet for me year round, especially with kids.
