    The Squam Lake Retreat was simply amazing! We stayed here for a family celebration and the home and surrounding amenities made the week at the house just wonderful. Highly recommend! The host is very helpful and communicates promptly and effectively. I hope we get to stay here again. Lake view is spectacular and the space brings people together great conversation and shared meals.

    One of the most beautiful houses I’ve stayed at. The design is stunning, and it’s incredibly peaceful being surrounded by trees and the lake. I would highly recommend this spot for a relaxing nature getaway in New Hampshire.

    Beautiful property. House was wonderful and well stocked and clean. Owner very responsive to questions. Kayaks, canoe, paddle boards were great. Nice calm cove. Saw a Bald Eagle and several loons from the dock and while paddling around. Very close to local amenities. Loved it.

    The house was beautiful as were the surroundings. Hiking, swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, and exploring islands on the canoe were amazing! Such a special place. The hosts are very welcoming and hospitable. Great communication.

    Words cannot do justice to the beauty of this home on Squam Lake. We had an amazing trip and cannot thank the hosts more for opening their home for rental.

    Easily one of our best short term rentals, and the kindest homeowners. The house is exactly as pictured, with plenty of room for our multigenerational family vacation, with folks ranging from 4 to 65. Truly a joyful stay; we hope to be back again. Owners were super responsive and very accommodating.

    The house was exactly as advertised; we had a fun weekend swimming, hot tubbing, grilling, and playing board games at the big dining room table. The location has a nice secluded feel but is still conveniently close to grocery stores and restaurants if needed. The owner was easy to get ahold of to answer questions.
