Welcome to a charming lakeside private home in a fabulous location for a most peaceful yet eventful vacation on Squam Lake. The private lakeside stone terrace and 30' dock, and garden provide stunning views of the Squam Range and White Mountains, and is a perfect venue for family and friend gatherings.

The waterfront area, with exclusive access to a private 30' long dock for enjoying the lake and sun, is an ideal place to launch our 3 kayaks from the dock as well as moor your motor boat. You also have access to a shared clay tennis court, and enough space in the garden for badminton or other lawn games.

This lakefront house sits in a calm, protected point on Squam Lake and has something for everyone. Whether you are enjoying coffee on the terrace, spotting the loons on the lake, taking a swim from the dock, an afternoon nap in the lakefront hammock, turning cart wheels on the lawn, sitting in the screened-in porch, enjoying a barbecue near the picnic table or simply relaxing by the fireside in the evening, West Acres has what it takes to make it a truly memorable vacation on Squam.

This location also provides easy access to a number of attractions and activities nearby. The Squam Range offers mountain hiking trails, and fast moving rivers and brooks. Shopping and restaurants can be found in Sandwich and Center Harbor, both just 4 miles away. Tamworth, with its theatre, distillery, and farmer's market is just a few further miles north. There is a golf course in nearby Tuftonboro, a Science Center in Holderness, and quaint country villages all within easy reach.

Squam Lake is ideal for swimming, snorkeling, waterskiing, paddle boarding, sailing and fishing. A wealth of coves and islands can be explored by kayak. For hikers, the Squam Range, White mountains and Presidential Range offer trails ranging from 30 minutes to all-day and overnight excursions. The Koenig Wildlife Reserve down the road and Loon Center are perfect for bird enthusiasts, while the Squam Lakes Science Center's collection of raptors, otters, bobcats, bears, and even mountain lions is a great spot for the whole family.

    This lake side house comes with an amazing family history. You feel welcomed from the moment you turn on the road. The lake view, sitting area, and dock are wonderful. And the large glass porch which looks out to the lake is the best! Wonderful walking areas right from the house. Very quiet there. Being dog friendly made my stay perfect! I met one of the original family who grew up in that house... AMAZING! The host and caretaker were always available if needed and I was greeted with a vase of flowers when I arrived. I'd always dreamed of staying with my dog in a house like this on a new england lake!

    Loved this special property on the shores of Squam. The peace and quiet were one of a kind. My husband (76 years old) says it’s the most peaceful place he’s ever experienced in his long life. Quite a tribute. The house is perfect in a “golden pond” turn of the century kind of way. We had everything we needed to be comfortable. Our 20 ft pontoon docked perfectly on the dock. Juliette and Tristan were attentive and responsive. Perfect !! We will come again.

    Couldn’t have asked for better. Thank you for sharing your house with us. Only issue was the VRBO listing had the WRONG ADDRESS… so we had lots of trouble finding the correct house.

    Our stay at West Acres was heavenly. The location was one of the most serene and beautiful on the entire lake. Dock was easy to access. The house was classic, comfortable and provided all that our family of 5 adults and our puppies needed. Very private. Great fireplace and enclosed lakefront porch. Juliette communicated promptly and was very personable. Would definitely recommend.

    Old Squam charm is written all over this property. One of the best locations bar none on the lake. Wonderful host and caretaker are there to direct you to all the aspects of the lake and region. We have been coming to the lake for thirty years and this was a very enjoyable family vacation. Highly recommended.

    The lake in the fall was spectacular! The place is perfect for the lake- definitely a cottage that makes time slow down, which is perfect for Squam. Great location and quiet. Juliette was a great host.

    This was an excellent house to fit our entire family. A beautiful setting on the lake with an abundance of kitchen and dining supplies. A nice large dining area to accommodate our family plus guests. Everything we needed! It was great.

    Squam Lake is so beautiful, with the clearest water & spectacular views. We loved having the kayaks, and we also rented two paddleboards for the week. If you are looking for modern & updated, this is not the place for you. But if you love vintage, retro, a piece of history, a step back in time, feeling like you are at summer camp (in the best possible way), then you will love this lake cottage. Open all the windows, to enjoy the views & fresh air! The fireplace is so cozy. Lots of wildlife to see- bald eagles, loons, black bears, lots of birds, turtles. We loved the calls of the loons! Gusto Italian Cafe is so delicious, just 4 miles away. Thank you Tristan, for the new Berkey water filter, it was awesome. Juliette was very accommodating & easy to communicate with. A spectacular setting to celebrate our daughter's graduation from Dartmouth College. Thank you for sharing your special place.
