Once a private residence dating back to the early 19th century, Pickering House Inn has been thoughtfully restored into a luxurious boutique inn in the heart of Wolfeboro. In preserving the character of the original home, the owners selected Carlisle’s custom Heart Pine flooring—a nod to the building’s historic past and a testament to enduring American craftsmanship. 

The 1,000 square feet of solid Heart Pine features signature-grade boards with widths ranging from 7″ to 11″ and lengths up to 16 feet. Finished in a smooth texture with softened edges and a warm amber satin stain, the floor’s richness and depth bring a grounded elegance to the interiors, honoring the building’s legacy while offering modern comfort. 

With its strong grain patterns and structural integrity, Heart Pine was the perfect choice to support both design vision and daily function. The result is a floor that balances heritage and hospitality—a natural fit for a destination defined by warmth, tradition, and timeless detail.
