Disliked: Listing accuracy
The listing was misleading it was not a house it was an apartment with a second house on the lot The porch was infested with hornets and wasps so you could not sit out side The access to the lake was horrible straight down over large boulders and overgrown with poison ivy Finally the dock was tilted sideways making it difficult to walk on

This property has lovely views of Squam Lake, there was no clear path down to the lake due to overgrowth, but it was beautiful. Not sure the property was cleaned between stays, the bathrooms kitchen were clean, there were cracker crumbs on the chair in the TV room and the spiders may have had a hey day between visits as the cobwebs were in full view, this may be a New England thing. I did not feel it had been dusted in a while. It is a lovely old home in New England. However, it is not a single home, the front of the property is rented. This was not a problem but would have been nice to know. She has a dog that is beautiful and did bark in the mornings.Coming from the West we did not realize that the beds would not be made and we had to search for towels which we finally found in the dryer. Every VRBO that I have rented in the West (and there have been many) has beds made, towels hung, shampoo (at least a small amount) and soaps available. The soaps that were available had been well used. The house accommodated the 4 of us nicely. It was more remote than we realized but turned out to be just about 10-15 minutes from our friends in Sandwich. There was coffee available and the kitchen worked nicely for our breakfasts (kitchen well equipped). The rest of the days were spent exploring the surrounding area. A day trip to Mt. Washington proved to be absolutely lovely, we caught the change of colors just perfectly. John that owns the home is a delight!!!!

Charming, comfortable and special

Great job of retaining the charm and history of the farmhouse, while at the same time having everything in wonderful working order. Being so close to that beautiful, special lake and yet surrounded by so many acres of quiet and beautiful woods is a very special opportunity indeed. We felt so lucky to be there.

As always an awesome stay. Even with the loss of temporary power. John was immediately responsive and the power worked itself back on without issue. Looking forward to 2021.

Coolidge farm is a great location on Squam Lake

The house has a lot of charm. It is spacious and very well equipped. Enjoyed mornings and evenings on the screened porch and our days at the water. Sandwich cove is a perfect location for tubing, waterskiing, kayaking, swimming and fishing. The grandchildren enjoyed the wide-open yard to play games and be outside. The owner was very helpful with any questions that we had. Highly recommended.

July week 2021

Vintage farmhouse fits extended family. Dock was great! We appreciated the 4 kayaks and one canoe. Things to note: house is technically an apartment as neighbor is in adjacent unit (very quiet, no issue there), and also for anyone with mobility issues, the trek down to the water is a bit treacherous (stone stairs could use improvement). We plan to return next summer. Thanks John C.!

Great stay at Squam with family

We had a great time at Coolidge Farm. The house had everything you would need and it was close to the beach. Nights were very relaxing sitting on the porch enjoying the lake. Hope to make it back there in the future.

Beautiful setting

The farmhouse, though aging was very clean. The setting especially from the screen porch overlooking the lake was gorgeous. Downfalls were: Had to contact owner to find out address though owner was very responsive. No bedsheets on any of the beds which we discovered about 11:30 pm as we were expecting to go to seep. The path to the lake needed some bushwhacking as we had to wade through overgrowth to get there. Two of the four of us got ticks. The screen porch was wonderful for the evening since there were mosquitos, but there were a lot of tears in the screening so a few mosquitoes did get in. Needs a bit of repair. This problem falls on VRBO - There was a steep security deposit and it has been more than 14 days since we left and we have had absolutely no communication from VRBO as to if and when our deposit will be returned. It seems they want to make money on our money by not returning security deposit in a timely manner. Impossible to get any answers from VRBO.

Great House

We had a fabulous week staying with our family at this historic farmhouse.With a rented boat we toured the lake, swim everywhere, ran up and down the dirt roads, hiked the mountains, and had multiple family dinners and relaxing evenings. The owner was very responsive. It was great to stay at a piece of history and enjoy the loons singing.

We had a great stay in this historic old home. We even had a deer pass by us as we were sitting on the porch. It was well stocked with just about anything you would need. The owner was super nice and flexible with what we needed.

Great Place to Stay

4 of us stayed here for our annual fishing trip. The house has a boat dock which made getting out on the lake allot quicker. The view from the back porch of the lake is awesome. John was very accommodating. Can’t wait to come back next year!!

Classic Farm Lake House

Coolidge Farm was a terrific week getaway for my family. We are regular visitors to Sandwich and Squam Lake and had never experienced this rustic but comfortable way to visit. The home takes you back to yesteryear but also provides the modern day needs. Access to the lake was simple and enjoyable. The available dock made using the rented boat so nice. Thank you John for giving my family this nice getaway.
