=================================================

=================================================

The home was designed with one purpose in mind - to create the ideal setting for family and group vacations. The house is just steps from the shoreline of Squam Lake, and offers views of the lake and mountains from most rooms in the house. The whole family will enjoy the waterfront area, where you will find a 50' long dock with two 12' x 22' floating platforms attached to it, providing room to hang out in the sun for up to 14 people. Explore the protected and nearly private cove and the lake beyond with the 5 kayaks and 2 paddleboards provided free of charge for your enjoyment.

For those who like games of all sorts, you are in luck! The house has a bumper pool table in the living room and loads of board games, plus backgammon and chess boards. In the side yard you'll find a shaded bocce court, and in the backyard you'll have your own private tennis court with a gentle clay court surface - just like the French Open courts! It also has lines for Pickleball! Something for everyone!

Read the reviews, our past renters paint a better picture of their vacation experience at Camp Kusumpy than we ever could!

Here are four reasons why the house we call Camp Kusumpy is so popular:

1) Waterfront location in a quiet cove with 300+ yards of private shoreline, a long spacious dock , a raft to swim to, boating and fishing, and views of nearby mountains
2) Lots of room! Four bedrooms with queen sized beds for couples, PLUS two large bunk rooms with four bunk beds each - perfect for kids! As a bonus, there is also a screen porch upstairs with another queen sized bed
3) Entertaining mix of modern amenities (WIFI, Dish TV , 6 burner/2 oven gas stove), old classics (collection of board games, bumper pool table), plus a rustic clay tennis court which also has lines for pickleball
4) Offers great space, privacy and value for big groups vs comparable hotel and vacation home rental options. Lots of indoor and outdoor space to spread out in

Perfect Family Vacation House
Perfect Family Vacation House
This is the ideal house for a large family vacation. There were 13 of us, ranging in age from 2 - 77. Each couple had a room and a bathroom nearby. The house has a very large living room/family room area, complete with a bumper pool table, comfortable sofas, and a round table for dining. We took all our evening meals at a large picnic table on the deck overlooking the lake, a marvelous place to sit and watch the sun go down over the mountains, What made the house perfect for all of us was being right on the water. A few steps from the house was a dock with comfortable chairs and an awning. The house is situated on the shore of Nichols Cove, a small sheltered body of water. All of us--young and old--spent many happy hours on that dock, enjoying sunning, swimming as well as kayaking. We hope to return next year for another family vacation in this idyllic spot.

Excellent!
Excellent!
As a family, we have been spending at least a week on Squam since 1963....The week at Kasumpy was, in many way, the best. The cove on which the property sits is quiet and relaxing, but through the lake access, one sees sail and motor boats plying the waters, with the 2000+ ft. Sandwich range as a classic backdrop. The amenities leave nothing out (asprin in the medicine cabinet!)...and an excellent supermarket is less than 10 minutes away so shopping is not an issue. From the "great room" with its fireplace and continually used bumper pool table to the large kitchen to the massive deck and huge dock and private float, the property is absolutely ideal for a large family, with enough space "get lost" and read a book. All-in-all, it allowed our four families to have a quite magical stay on Golden Pond.

A Magical House
A Magical House
This house is a true Squam house - perfect for families. We had three generations staying at the house and tons of extended family visiting for boating, swimming, and dining. The house is great for absorbing crowds. There are millions of toys provided so there's something for people of all ages. The sunset view is breathtaking...hence the name, On Golden Pond. We certainly hope to return. Carol

Finally, the perfect extended family vacation
Finally, the perfect extended family vacation
I agree with all of the positive reviews previously posted! Here are some of the features we particularly appreciated: 1. Squam lake is beautiful (warm, clear) and the dock area on a secluded cove made kids, adults, and grandparents happy. Room to play. Room to sit quietly without the roar of motorboats and jet skis. Room to swim as exercise without worrying about motor boats. 2. It's an open floor plan, but there are at least 8 quality "spots" indoors and out where you can be alone, but still together. And when you all want to be together, the dock, deck, and living room are perfect. 3. The house is stocked. Cardamon? Yes. Lighter fluid? Yes. Plastic rings to throw into the water that kids can retrieve? Yes. New Yorker cartoon game? Yes. 4. Tennis court! 5. Totally functional kitchen with everything you need to cook for big groups. 6. Very close to a great grocery store, and if you need a giant grocery store, that is 15 minutes away. 7. Sandwich Historical Society Museum 10 minutes away - awesome! 8. A range of hikes nearby (hikes everyone including young kids and grandparents can do or more ambitious hikes). 9. Everyone slept great, especially the lucky people sleeping in the porch bedroom - it's practically like sleeping on the lake and in the trees at the same time. (Use the tarp in the laundry room to cover bed in case of a rainstorm.) 10. Dog heaven. 11. Kid bunk rooms are fun!

Fantastic house and location
Fantastic house and location
From the moment we burst through the doors and saw the beautiful views and started to explore this large house we knew this was the perfect spot for our family of 6 children and 7 adults. From games, water toys including kayaks, kitchen utensils and towels, etc. Camp Kusumpy at it all including a loon family. We had plan to explore the area but with near perfect weather none of us wanted to leave the dock and lake. We had two avid fishermen in our group who had good fishing each morning and evening. It was hard to leave this idyllic location but we hope to return next year.

Squam Lake Gem
Squam Lake Gem
My family and I had a wonderful vacation at this very spacious and super comfortable house on a quiet cove on Squam Lake. Each year the owners make some nice upgrades to the house, and this year was no exception. We love the fact the house is so roomy and cozy, and we always let out a big sigh when we walk into the house and see the floor to ceiling windows and the amazing view of the lake and mountains in the distance. Tennis, swimming, fishing, kayaking, it's all here. Even in early June, we swam each day and reveled in the fresh pristine water. The dock is very spacious and allowed for 10 of us to spread out and relax very comfortably. Over this winter, they put in a great Floating Island Dock about 40 feet offshore, which made for a great place to hangout, take in the sun, and for the kids to play 'king of the hill'. I went kayaking early each morning and caught plenty of small mouth bass to start my day - just awesome. Great sunsets each night over the lake and mountains, made for some amazing dinners out on the dock & back deck. I highly recommend Camp Kasumpy to anyone.

Loved the loons
Loved the loons
Stayed at Camp Kusumpy with a group of women friends and had the best time. Very secluded, yet convenient for shopping. We all loved the loons and paddling around the cove in the kayaks. The house is casual and very comfortable and the deck is a beautiful place to sit and have dinner. We met the owner when we arrived and she was very gracious and welcoming. I would recommend this place for a wonderful vacation.
