After our second visit in two years, we love the place as much as ever, and hope to come back again soon. The only dropped star is an acknowledgement of the fact that this is a rustic cabin in the woods, so you can't expect a hermetically sealed, pristine environment. A few harmless critters and cobwebs come with the territory. Other than that, this is a charming, lovingly maintained place . And the location makes it extra special: a beautiful, quiet cove on a stunning lake...perfect for swimming, kayaking, fishing, sailing, etc. If you want peace and tranquility (Squam is remarkably uncrowded), this is one of the nicest spots on the lake. And the flora and fauna are amazing. Great hiking trails can be accessed directly from the cabin and, though the cabin feels quite secluded, it is only 15-20 mins away from excellent food & baked goods! All-round a perfect vacation getaway.
