Welcome to our NEW RETREAT - The Historic Busiel House in the Heart of Laconia - nestled between beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee and Lake Winnisquam. Located in downtown Laconia, you will be close to everything the Lakes Region has to offer.

Take a walk down the block to some great local restaurants, the Colonial Theatre and antique shops. Other local attractions include: Opechee Park, The Laconia Library, Scenic Rail Bike Rides, WOW Trail, and so much more! Go for a short drive and explore Weirs Beach, Tiki Hut Boats of NH, Lakeport Opera House, Gunstock Mountain or watch a great show at the The Bank of NH Pavilion, all just minutes away. There's something fun for everyone at The Downtown Hagan House!

We are honored to offer it as a venue for large gatherings, events, and an awesome vacation home. The 5,200+ square feet, fully air conditioned home boasts a large floor plan, nine bedrooms, and over five bathrooms - all restored to their former beauty with a modern twist. This home is incredible, and you will be happy to have your event, gathering or vacation in this historical home built in 1865.

The Main Floor includes a large mudroom, a kitchen with a breakfast table, a formal dining room, a laundry room with a washer and dryer, a ballroom style living room with a television, a family sitting room, a sunporch with great seating for enjoying the sunshine, and a half bathroom.
There are two stairways leading up to the Second Floor, which features six bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms have queen-size beds and a jack-and-jill bathroom between them. There is an additional full bathroom located in the hallway, and two more bedrooms, with queen-size beds and en-suites. One bedroom has a walk-through taking you into another bedroom, each bedroom having one twin bed and a full bathroom.
The Third Floor features three bedrooms, all with queen beds, and one full bathroom.

Outside, you will find a lovely grassy area to enjoy, as well as a patio and grilling area. There is parking available for the home, as well as public parking in the rear.
This property is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The building was built in 1865, making it over 150 years old. Arthur L. Davis, a 19th-century architect, built the home for textile factory owner John W. Busiel, and then in the early 20th century it became a Catholic church owned building. In 1994, the downtown property became a historic national building.

A Place That Can Absorb So Many People!
Our family was delighted to find this beautiful house to use as home-base while in Laconia for a Celebration of Life. Family members came from the East and West Coast and in between. It was important to have a large enough space that we could all gather together to visit and eat, but also have space enough for folks to have time for themselves as needed. The Main Event was a perfect fit! The home was immaculate and well-maintained. The common area rooms are spacious and have lots of seating space. The option to sit outside, both on the front porch and in the back yard, was an additional bonus. The large brand new propane grill enabled us to prepare a frajita buffet for our whole group. The kitchen is well equipped with a large fridge, two ovens, coffee pots and a variety of cooking tools. The management group was quick to respond to inquiries and to address the one problem we brought to their attention. They also took care of another problem that we had not even noticed yet! Highly recommend this home for large groups that want to be together but also know that some folks might need time for themselves!
