I have been staying at cabins/cottages and homes on Squam Lake for over 50 years and this location does not disappoint! I’ve not stayed on this section of the lake before and what was extra special for us was the quietness and decreased boat traffic as well as the abundance of wild life including Loons, Eagles and a Great Heron that landed right next to us. The paddle boards and kayaks were a great addition to help explore. It was exceptionally hot this year (10 degrees above normal) and the place doesn’t have A/C which is not a complaint - most old summer homes don’t! I wanted to highlight this place (main house) has a whole house fan with instructions that made it a delight even in the heat of July. Additionally the owners provided fans for all outbuildings and each room in the house. There is always conflict between our swimmers and fishers so we were pleasantly surprised for two docks located at different areas in the property. Thank you for sharing your home.

Definitely a cabin in the woods! Make sure your expectations are one step above camping. None of the guest houses have a toilet in them, you have to walk to an out house. Which is no big deal unless you have to use the restroom in the middle of the night. Could definitely use a deep clean regarding cobwebs and dust. The screen porch is lovely but I do wish it had a better view of the lake. Host was very responsive and friendly.

Sorry you were unhappy with the bathrooms for the cabins, we highlight that in the description of the property so people are not surprised and clearly understand that you need to walk a few feet to the fully functional bathrooms from the cabins.

About the host

I love to spend time by the lake kayaking and sailing, but am also an avid hiker of the White Mountains. You will find the White Mountain guide in the house is well used.

Why they chose this property

This has been my summer home all my life and is lovingly cared for as such. The property was bought by my great grandfather and family members still own the houses adjacent to ours.

What makes this property unique

The addition of purchasing the cabins about 40 years ago has made provided my family some space to spread out when we are all together, as well as a dock on the protected cove side, to hang out on when the wind is up. There are no immediate neighbors on cove side, making this a very quiet retreat.
