Cotton Lake Cabin - Breathtaking Views of Squam Lake and Mountain Range

Cotton Lake Cabin was the perfect HQ for a fall weekend with teens. My son mountain biked at nearby Highlands Park but also found the cabin's mountain road equally enjoyable to ride. The day began with a beautiful sunrise and then the mountains called....returned to enjoy a quiet evening gazing at the stars. We will return! Thank you.

Enjoyed our stay. The house is clean with a great layout. Gorgeous views!

We enjoyed our stay. Lovely house, beautiful view. As a heads up, the gravel road in is very steep.

We had nine people staying here and we had plenty of room since we reserved both buildings and more than ample parking for four vehicles. There was enough room for us all to have dinner together, beds were very comfortable, and no one had any complaints. The owner was in contact frequently to assure we had everything we needed and to see if we had questions. As mentioned in the write-up, there are trails accessible right from the property, and several nearby. We enjoyed a day at Ashland Town Beach and the kids loved jumping off the floating dock. They rented kayaks nearby and had a great time. I would recommend this rental!

Nine of us returned for a second summer of family vacation. It was again a wonderful experience. The house (Casa) has 3 bedrooms and the cabin (Casita) has 3 bedrooms. The drive up the mountainside is a trek up a dirt road, but then the approach to the site is paved. Inside, the kitchen is well appointed, and there is an indoor dining room, plus a large outside deck offering a table and plenty of chairs for outdoor meals. The living room is cozy, and comfortable, with plenty of books and games, as well as brochures listing nearby trails, swimming, and boating sites. The deck looks down on Squam Lake, and is surrounded by beautiful gardens. We hope to return again soon!

My sister and I came up to the property for a weekend of R&R in late October. The Cotton Lake cabin turned out to be a great choice! It was very quiet at this time of year, which is exactly what we were looking for. The house is clean and beautifully decorated, with a rustic/moose-bear motif throughout, and complemented by photographs and artwork done by the hosts. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with cooking and baking supplies. The bathrooms are well appointed - we did not use the Jacuzzi tub but it was clean and looked inviting! The view is incredible and we enjoyed time out on the deck hanging out and taking it in. There is plenty of seating and looked ideal for a glass of wine with friends after a fun day at the lake or shopping. A couple of things to know: as noted by other reviewers, the road to the cabin is very steep and I would make every effort to navigate it for the first time in the daylight. The blue bedroom does not appear to have a door between it and the main part of the house, and the upstairs bedroom has a curtain separating the stairs from the rest of the house. There is only one shower; the Jacuzzi has a spray attachment. This was not a problem for us but could be a consideration for others with privacy concerns. Also definitely recommend reading over the Guide to the house, it is helpful. Thanks to MIchael for keeping the hard copy of it on the coffeetable! We would definitely consider returning to this property!

We had a beautiful stay at Cotton Lake Cabin - everything was perfect. The wonderful deck with amazing views, the very cozy, clean and well-equipped cabin, the fireplace, the very good communication with the host... We hope that we will stay there again in the future. Thank you, Michael!

This hillside vacation home is easy to rent. It consists of a main house and an adjacent casita. It is an enchanting property. The house is situated on a forested mountain with a view of Squam Lake from the deck that is truly spectacular. The indoor decor and furnishings are charming, and outside, colorful bird houses dot the gardens. The host was available by text and answered our questions promptly, however, there is an informative guest book (also available as a QR scan and website) which lists restaurants, boat rentals and attractions in the area. Our multi-aged family of 9 had an absolutely wonderful time!

Beautiful home and setting, gorgeous lake view. Easy access to points of interest. Plenty of space to accommodate a group of 10 We enjoyed our stay thoroughly

This property is truly as advertised and more. It was perfect for our pre-wedding family gathering. The host has gone out of his way to think of all the little details to make your stay perfect. The views of the lake are magnificent. Just be aware that there is a trek up the mountain to get there, but worth it!
