We were in town visiting the lake my mom summered on. It was so great to revisit all the spots and we even got to see the old family camp. As a Morris decendant it was nice to see the sign erected to commemorate CC Morris.

Peaceful setting and beautiful Squam Lake

This cozy home is set amongst beautiful trees with access to the amazing Squam Lake. The house is in very good condition with a fine kitchen and comfortable beds. There is a sweet screened porch with furniture to take a comfy seat on. The waterfront is a special treat and the cool waters of Squam Lake beckon you to jump in! Gorgeous sunsets too !!! Highly recommend renting this cabin in the woods 😊

Serene

The Squam Lake house was beautiful, clean and cozy. The house is located in a very quiet area with lots of wildlife. The Loons and baby bears (running across the road) were a thrill to see. We enjoyed walking down to the dock to put our feet in the water. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate during our trip or we would of swam at the dock or used the kayaks. We are hoping to visit again.

Dog Cove Retreat

Appsolultly loved the house, property and lake. Weren’t able to use the canoe or kayak because of our dog but there were plenty of beach towels available to jump in the lake. Ran into the owner and he gave us directions to another “dog friendly” beach across the cove. The fur baby had a blast running and jumping in the water with the other dogs. The weather was hot but each bedroom had air conditioning. Plenty of shopping and great restaurants in Center Harbor, Moultonborough and Meredith Harbor. Highly recommend

The cottage is nestled in the woods and is located just 10 minutes from Meredith. It is well-equipped and has just about everything that you need.The owner's house is down a path from the Cottage. They are gracious and allow lake access. They have a beautiful dock. It did feel a bit odd going down there because it is in their back yard. The cottage is great for 4-6 adults. Any more than that would probably feel crowded in the main areas of the cottage. There is a great screened in porch that we really enjoyed.The refrigerator has an ice maker; there is a k-cup and a regular drip coffee maker that takes regular filters (not the cone shaped). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
