A Very Merry Christmas Stay
This house is clean and cozy and very comfy. The lake/mountain views are spectacular and accessible from two bedrooms, the living room, kitchen and porch. On a warmish December afternoon, we enjoyed tea and cookies at the water's edge, just a few steps from our back door. We imagined morning coffee or wine at sunset in the warmer months. We give it our multigenerational approval. And many thanks to Deb for her care.

Perfection on the Lake!
This property is hands down the best place we have ever stayed! The beach area is something I could never even imagine and I've been coming to Squam Lake my entire life. To watch the next generation of kids enjoy the water rain or shine is something truly special! This is a rare find on the lake and we enjoyed our stay greatly!

Great location
Great location. Very relaxing wish the weather was better but having morning coffee by the water was a great way to start the day. We had a visit from mother duck and her babies and a little bear cub one day. Would definitely rent again.

About the host

Hosted by Debra McLoud

Host profile image
The property is owned by the McLoud Family of Plymouth, New Hampshire. The land was purchased by our father/grandfather, Merlond McLoud in the 1950's. He owned a construction company and together with his children developed Grapevine Cove. It is a beautiful and peaceful place to enjoy the best of New Hampshire's Lakes Region.

Why they chose this property

**Please note that we rent to our long-time guests first. At this time we have no availability for summer of 2023.**

During July and August both houses are rented together. Otherwise, the houses may be rented independently. Off season availability is more flexible, including winter. The lakefront house with lovely winter views is the only house available November 2022-May 2023

Please inquire for rates. They are variable depending on whether renting both houses or one house, which house, length of stay and time of year.

What makes this property unique

In summer, the property has one of the few sandy beaches on the lake and we believe it has the most beautiful view of all! There are two houses on the private road which share the beach and two docks. The houses are rented together in the summer and comfortably sleep 15. You are one cove away from Squam Lakes Association which runs boating lessons and regattas that are beautiful to watch from the beach. It is also relaxing to sit and take in the views of mountains and wildlife such as mink, beaver, eagles, herons and loon and listen to their calls. The lake is clean and clear and offers swimming, fishing and boating. Bonfires in the evening are especially magical! The view around the lake at night is very peaceful.
