What an amazing vacation! My family absolutely loved this spacious & comfortable home on Squam Lake. This house has it all... it’s located on a quite cove with breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding mountains. As soon as we got there, we walked up to the lake and took in the views, and let out a sigh and could immediately feel ourselves decompress - just perfect.
The house has a huge great room which is highlighted by vaulted ceilings and a very large and impressive stone fireplace. The great room was very comfortable, with plenty of large comfortable couches and chairs, which made for plenty of very cozy moments for my family. There was a fantastic collection of books, magazines, games and puzzles, which my family took full advantage. The room even included a pool table, which made for some competitive matches each day. I would be remiss, if I didn’t mention the fantastic views from the great room, which also included a convenient walk-out to a huge lake front deck that had to be 50 feet long, with plenty of chairs and tables for the family to relax. There was also the perfect Screen Porch, that had very comfy chairs and a great view of the lake. We spent plenty of time each day in the screen porch, soaking up the beautiful natural surroundings. The kitchen was also very spacious, and was updated with a newer Gas Oven/Stove, and offered plenty of room for our family and friends to cook up big meals and socialize.
We were also really impressed with the size of each bedroom, each with very comfy beds and plenty of windows to capture the wonderful breeezes. The bathrooms were also large and clean.
The house was great, but we all go to a place like this for the outdoor experience, and this house really delivered. There is a huge dock, that was big enough for my entire family and friends to spread out. We did a lot of reading, relaxing, swimming, and dining on the dock. In fact, we enjoyed lunch most days, and had dinner on the dock while taking in absolutely breathtaking sunsets each night. Many fantastic photographs each night.
This place is a nature lovers paradise, with Loons, Hawks and Eagles right out in front of the house overlooking the cove each day.
We used the kayaks for fishing and exploring - the kids loved it. The water is so clean and so refreshing - swimming was heaven.
The area offers outstanding hiking trails, whether you’re looking for a 1 hour trek or more, its all here.
Such a speciel place, we can’t wait until next year!
