    "Great family friendly area. Lots to do in the area. The town of Meredith is very pretty and has lots to offer. Also, Weirs Beach is about a 15 minute car ride or 10 minute boat ride away. Everything is very convenient. I miss the house that we used to own there, and would love to go back. Meredith is a great area!"
