Great week with family on Squam Lake. Perfect location, nice beach, protected dock, great swimming and fishing!
4.9
The house with 2 bedrooms off to the side is very outdated. The beds sag in the middle and there is no TV anywhere.
The 3 bedroom house is much more modern and has a lot more amenities including a TV (in the living room only) although the view is incredible, there is geese poop everywhere so be sure to wear shoes you don’t care too much about Both houses have a bit of a musty smell but not terrible. Would still recommend for a small gathering

We had a great time at the lake house. It has a nice beach area and easy access to the lake. The out doors area has a variety of seating, a fire pit and grill.
We hope to be able to come back and stay again!

Place was perfect for ice fishing. Easy access to a big lake. Can't wait to go back.

This house is clean and cozy and very comfy. The lake/mountain views are spectacular and accessible from two bedrooms, the living room, kitchen and porch. On a warmish December afternoon, we enjoyed tea and cookies at the water's edge, just a few steps from our back door. We imagined morning coffee or wine at sunset in the warmer months. We give it our multigenerational approval. And many thanks to Deb for her care.

This property is hands down the best place we have ever stayed! The beach area is something I could never even imagine and I've been coming to Squam Lake my entire life. To watch the next generation of kids enjoy the water rain or shine is something truly special! This is a rare find on the lake and we enjoyed our stay greatly!

Great location. Very relaxing wish the weather was better but having morning coffee by the water was a great way to start the day. We had a visit from mother duck and her babies and a little bear cub one day. Would definitely rent again.

Private, yet open and relaxing. Plenty of parking. We had 12 in our group and were very comfortable. Nicely furnished and kitchen was well equipped. The group raved about the setting. We would stay again.

We rented the lakeside house for our annual fishing trip. There was ample room for six adults, docking for boats and plenty of parking. The house was well appointed and clean. The location was beautiful. Right on the shore of big Squam lake. The owner was always responsive and helpful with any questions we had. Would rent again in the future.

House was perfect and the price was good but what makes this tops is the customer service and flexibility the owner has. Wonderful people to rent from.

We are a group of four fisherman with 2 boats. From the moment we arrived we knew we were going to love spending our 4 days of fishing here. The home was much nicer than any other place we have stayed in the past. It was clean and nicely furnished. The outdoor area was perfect for docking our boats and enjoying the view which was spectacular! The fishing was fantastic as usual.

Excellent getaway for us. We arrived after a tense icy/snowy drive. When we went outside the next morning, the drive was already shoveled and sanded. Excellent service! Great communication and so easy to work with. Thanks again!

Wonderful Stay
My family and I got together at this cute lakefront home with beautiful views. It was cozy, clean and well stocked with everything we needed. It was nice to only have to bring our luggage, everything else was already there. It was amazing waking up in the morning to a magnificent sunrise. There is a few places to eat and a little market within a few miles and not a far drive to other attractions in the area. There was good communication with the host and made everything a breeze. Would definitely come back and stay again.

Squam at Christmas
We have been frequent renters on Squam Lake so know it well. We couldn't have been more pleased with our rental. The place was spotless, extremely well equiped with everything one could need in the kitchen, baths, and bedrooms. The view is wonderful and in the summer it would be great to have the beach (not many places on Squam have their own beach). Response to an issue was prompt and resolved quickly. The McLoud family are wonderful and has a long and fascinating history associated with the property.

Rented from Wednesday to Sunday. Got there Wednesday evening but woke up Thursday to no heat or hot water. Contacted owner who then sent out for repair service. Repairmen was unable to fix issue. Owner stated that full rental will be refunded for issue and to let her know when we vacate her property. Luckily, we were able to book another rental nearby for vacation time. Text manager that we left and inquired about refund, no response. Called and no response. Emailed and no response. Message through VRBO and no response. It is unbelievable that the owner could be this way. Hope no one else rents from this place and have to experience this nonsense. They should not be allowed to rent out ANY place ever again for their dishonesty.

Perfect location!
The house was exactly as depicted! Kitchen was so well provisioned, all we needed to purchase was food. When we had a problem with the TV set during our stay, Rob came immediately. The Nature Center and trails are close by, the view across the lake are magnificent . Take advantage of a boat tour with next door neighbor; she's awesome!

A Wonderful Stay on Squam Lake
We really enjoyed our stay at this Holderness lake home. The house was lovely, and very well stocked with anything we might need. It was close to the main road so we could easily run out to stores or restaurants. The beach was large, and we were able to have friends up for the day while keeping a social distance. The view was breathtaking. The family was nearby if we had any questions. It was a wonderful stay.

Beautiful location
Renting a home for young children with lake access can be tricky. Having a private beach with no steep hills and flat yard was great for our kids as many houses may only have a dock and/or a steep slope to get to the water. Here, we didn’t have to worry as much about the children or grandparents having a hard time walking back and forth, and it was close enough to the house we could see and talk to who was at the water.
The other reason we chose this location was because we had other family/friends that wanted to come for a day or a night, having the second house would allow us to accommodate them. However, we are thankful we only had one set of friends visit because the second house was very musty smelling and outdated.
The main house has a nice set up with a good sized kitchen and porch to eat on, but the photo showed a sofa that is no longer there, and instead there are two old & worn oversized chairs and two recliners, which made relaxing together a bit awkward.
The kitchen is well stocked but I have to be honest and share that we spent a good day cleaning off cob webs around all the ceilings/corners/windows and washing silverware, dishes, bowls, and glasses that were not clean. There were a number of knives in the drawer but I could only find one that was sharp enough to cut fruit/vegetables.
I slept in the queen size bed which I had no discomfort, but my parents shared the king sized bed which they said was much softer. The only light in the bedrooms came from small lamps which were not very helpful. With no a/c there was one day where we were hot inside as temperatures rose to about 85 that day, but the other days we were comfortable enough although we did take the fans from the other house to use on the porch/living room to help keep things comfortable.
Overall, the views and beach made the trip very memorable, the kids had fun fishing and swimming and there was plenty of outdoor seating.

Private Beach
Beautiful location and very private. Perfect setting for 2 families to share space. The views of the mountains are spectacular and this house has comfortable beds and is very clean. Close to Meredith and all the amenities the lakes region has to offer.
