About this property

Waterfront Carriage House Apartment

The Carriage House was built in 1925 to store carriages for the large Victorian home, across the street. Once carriages became a thing of the past, part of the carriage house was converted to a one bedroom apartment that has direct water views and a private deck overlooking the water. There are two queen beds in the bedroom. Enjoy the 585 feet of shared lake frontage with beach and complimentary use of canoes, kayaks, standup paddle boards and fire pits.

Walk 0.5 miles to the Squamside Beach Bar or Walter's Basin restaurant. Only 200 yards away is The Ice House Creamery with home made ice cream. See bears, bobcats and mountain lions 1 mile away at the Squam Lakes Science Center.

Enjoy all that Squam Lake has to offer!

Great location , pictures were very deceiving of the actual place!

Overall the outside area, the location and the lake itself were beyond beautiful. The apartment itself was quite shocking, compared to the pictures. The place was extremely old and dirty with trash under the beds, mouse poop in the corners of the bedroom , bathroom and in the kitchen by the trash can. The bathroom shower was almost unusable. It was so filthy, the door was so old, nasty and rusted the actual door didn't even shut. There was a 2 in gap ...Only thing we used it for was to rinse our feet. Couldn't leave the windows open in the living room because there were NO screens. The AC did work but we didn't want to use it .... The coffee maker was broken, but we were able to make it work ...we had to bring our own lines which was probably a blessing because the bed itself had a cover on it that was stained and gross. Overall, we had a blast because my friend and I can have fun anywhere. But for the cost of this place, I would have expected much more cleanliness, and proper photos to show what the place really looks like! They were very deceiving! Great outside space , the lake and backyard area of this place is beautiful. The owners did communicate well when I asked a question. Just be prepared for the inside.
