Enjoy the most picturesque views imaginable of the lake and White Mountains from this wonderful cabin on Squam. Built in 1949 and beautifully maintained and updated by the family, the home is perched atop a birch knoll located directly on the water. Characteristic of the rustic charm and privacy that typifies Squam lake homes, this is an idyllic location to watch the occasional lake activity, view wildlife, listen to the native loons and take full advantage of a waterfront home. Two bedrooms provide sleeping potential for up to six, while two sleeper sofas offer additional overflow potential. Both bedrooms offer full lake views. There are one and 3/4 baths that makes it comfortable for the whole family or a group. The home faces North East for stunning sunrises and good all-day sun, especially down on the beach and dock. The spacious screened porch offers a welcome setting for summer dining as well as wide vistas of the lake and its framing mountain ranges. The decor is original unfinished pine paneling throughout, and the living room is centered around a large, stone fireplace. The kitchen is outfitted with current stainless appliances and includes a pass through window into the screened porch. Down the steps from the cabin is a private waterfront that nestles in a small cove. Here one can enjoy a sandy beach, dock, swimming raft, and boathouse (as well as separate road access for boat landing). Included are two kayaks, a canoe, rowboat and all paddles and safety equipment. All of this creates a ideal setting for swimming, sunning, fishing, boating or simply watching the brilliant sunsets that entertain throughout the season. This home provides a true escape from it all, and those unfamiliar with Squam Lake will quickly come to appreciate its slow pace and unspoiled natural beauty found only two hours from Boston.

    5 stars is an understatement for how perfect this cabin and location is on Squam Lake. The cabin and its perfect location on the lake is exactly what makes this place so special and why families like mine try to keep coming back each summer. The screened in porch is such a magical area of the cabin to hang out with an unreal view of the lake. The private beach and the dock and all the kayak’s; canoe; and paddle board were just perfect for our active family that wanted to make different adventures on the lake each day. Can’t say enough good things about this amazing place.

    The camp was old school Squam with everything updated - all kitchen supplies, comfortable beds - where we appreciated it. Location on the lake is incredible, with views of 4000+ footers to the northeast. Screened-in porch offers a great hang out spot when not by the water. Bonus: fantastic gravel bike riding on empty roads in Sandwich and Tamworth.

    We were looking for the simple, traditional Squam cabin and this is everything we expected. Although rustic it had all the modern updates. Cleaning was spotless. The location is excellent for walking, drifting, listening to loons, doing nothing. I hesitate to express how wonderful our stay was because we don't want the cabin to get too popular! The owners are the best hosts.

    Beautiful spot on Squam Lake. Great day trips. Heard and saw loons almost almost daily. Fabulous fireplace. Great daily walks all along the beautiful road to the property. Many beautiful memories all leading to a proposal of marriage and now an upcoming wedding. ❤️

    My family has been coming to Squam lake for 34 years, this is the best week we’ve ever had. View is something dreams are made of and the sandy beach was perfect for my toddler. We would come back in a heart beat, and would send our other family members as well!

    We have been spending our summer vacation on Squam for seven years. Our long time rental sold, so we were forced to find a new spot. This is it. Breathtaking view. Our kids are now teenagers. The water is deep for swimming and jumping off the floating raft. They were never bored. The kitchen is very narrow, but we quickly got used to it. We hope to be lucky enough to return.

    We had a wonderful week in this cabin in the woods. It was the perfect size for us, and having a large screened in porch was a plus. We spent much of our time either by or on the lake, as we are avid kayakers. The kitchen (while small) was stocked with everything we could ask for, which led to us cooking many delicious dinners that we enjoyed on the porch. I cannot rave enough about the lake, the quiet and the utter sense of contentment we felt during our stay. Not only is the cabin charming but it is located near a number of beautiful towns, each which had several good options for dining and shopping. Be sure to visit Osteria Poggia if you like Italian food, their pasta, desserts and apertifs are housemade (I felt like I was in Tuscany again). If you are a Quilter then Keepsake Quilting will keep you busy on a rainy day. And don’t miss lunch at Castle in the Clouds or the ice cream at Sandwich Creamery. Enjoy your stay at Birch Knoll!
