Great Lakefront Stay

We absolutely loved our stay at this lakefront cabin. The location was wonderful and allowed the kids to play in the water all day with lake-side fires and smores each night. The paddle boards and kayaks were a real plus as well (we were sad we didn't have enough wind to use the sailboat). We rented a pontoon boat from Holderness Harbor, which is a 2-3 minute drive) and spent an incredible day on the lake with pit stops at the house from the boat for the kids. Couldn't have asked for more.

Great location, amazing views

My family and I stayed here for a quick getaway. The location is great, close to many hiking trails and walking distance to restaurants and convenience stores, which have amazing sandwiches and coffee. The views from the lake house are amazing! I loved waking up and having my morning coffee out by the lake. The house was very clean and remodeled. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake and I tried paddleboarding for the first time. My sons loved fishing off the dock and swimming in the lake. It was great to get away and relax, we really enjoyed our stay here.

Great vacation week on Squam Lake and excellent fishing too!

We really enjoyed our stay and the cottage was very well maintained and located right on the waterfront. There was plenty of dock space with two docks and the waterfront was great for wading or swimming with stairs that lead right into the water. This is a very convenient location to the small, quaint downtown area and we walked there most mornings for coffee and exceptionally good breakfast sandwiches. Marinas are very close so boat rental was a breeze. Bass fishing was exceptional and this is an absolutely beautiful lake with many large bays. The owner (Jeffrey) was a pleasure to deal with and very accommodating. Would certainly recommend this as a nice "getaway".
