Squam Lake, lake front property, stunning views, private peaceful retreat

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.

One of the most special places we've ever been

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.

Absolutely wonderful, quiet spot and such a lovely home! Incredibly clean, excellent and warm communication with Juliette who was flexible with the dates and check in process. Highly recommend!
