About this cabin rental
More than 100 feet of private shoreline. Two attached, handmade log cabins, each with lofts. Rustic and cozy throughout. Plenty of room for a family or two couples. One bath/shower plus two half-baths. Surrounded by tall pines and lots of privacy and quiet. Beautiful Squam Lake is just down your short path, over your footbridge and the little freshwater stream. Your dock is ideal for a swim or a paddle in the canoe. The cabin is part of the Pinehurst estate which borders the Rattesnake Mountain and Five FInger Point trails and natural habitat -- hikes right outside your door. In winter, 45 minute drive to Waterville Valley ski area; cross country skiing also available.
The two log cabins are configured like this: The smaller log cabin has a double bed, sitting area, and a loft with two single beds. The attached larger log cabin has a sitting area and kitchen / dining area on the main floor, a queen bed in the loft, and the bath/washrooms downstairs in the basement. There is an apartment-size washer/dryer in the basement but there is no dishwasher in the kitchen. Parking for 2-3 cars on the driveway.
The dock looks out onto True Cove and across to the Five Finger Point Nature area. A canoe plus kayaks are available for your use. Many guests enjoy jumping and swimming off the dock or hiking on the trails in the woods to Five Finger Point or up East and West Rattlesnake Mountains. There is also a gas grill. Please be aware that the area does not permit the use of jetskis.
Designed for peace and quiet, the Pinesteyn Log Cabin has lots of places to sit and talk and has only and old TV that plays DVDs. For when we cannot leave the rest of the world behind there is wifi. The Pinehurst estate is adjacent to Rockywold-Deephaven camps off of Rt. 113 between Sandwich and Holderness, NH. Sandwich offers antiques, artists' studios, and organic farms. Holderness offers the Squam Lakes Science Center, restaurants, and boat rentals.

The cabin is great, with just enough comfort mixed with the rustic camp experience. The property is amazing, located on a quiet cove on one of the most beautiful, impossibly well-preserved lakes in New England. This place is a gem. It is truly in the woods, so you need to be aware of wildlife and the army of bugs looking to feed on you. The owner and caretaker were attentive and gave clear instructions. All in all, it was a great experience in an incredible location.

Had a great time with excellent access to kayaking on the lake and nearby hiking trails. This unique log cabin layout is multi level and fun to experience. A true camp feel but with the modern conveniences. The owner and local manager were very accommodating and responded quickly to questions.

This house was perfect for our group of 3 kids and 2 adults. Kids enjoyed "kids quarters" and some freedom. Everything was as described, and the house was super quiet at night. Great proximity to 5 finger point trails and hiking. Very quiet cove.
Couple notes for future renters- As others have mentioned it is a bit of a walk to the lake, and the bathrooms are in the basement. For our group this was perfectly fine. Might not be for others with mobility limitations.
Also- If you bring a boat and the lake is down more than 1 foot there are two rocks on the east side of the dock that are in range of hitting a skeg on an outboard or I/O motor. For us, lake was down 1 foot+ they were 1.5 feet below surface- while standing on them my knees were out of water. The West side of the dock is free and clear all the way in with no obstructions. Floating dock was great!

The location of this property is second to none. It is within walking distance of hiking trails, close to restaurants, in a beautiful cove and the hosts provide all of the recreational options you could ask for including kayaks, paddleboards, and canoe.

An awesome stay on Squam Lake!
Unfortunately, my family's camp on Squam lake was sold a few years ago, and finding good rentals on the lake is near impossible! I stumbled across this listing and was immediately impressed by the owners' responsiveness to my messages! The house is so campy (but clean and well organized!) and perfect for Squam. The little hike down to the lake was one of my kid's favorite parts of our vacation, and we loved how quiet the cove was. I can't tell you how much we appreciated having a place to land on the lake this summer, we had an absolute blast...THANK YOU!!!

The cabin was very cozy and in a very private and peaceful setting. The private dock was spacious and very quiet. The views of the lake and mountains were spectacular.
We loved our stay, it was very relaxing. If you're looking for privacy this is the place to be, it's not completely isolated but provided enough privacy to enjoy.

Properties on Squam Lake seem rarely available because families who live there tend to want to stay there. We were lucky to find a week in Mark's calendar. The house--really two attached cabins--is at the end of a private road with nature preserve as a neighbor. That made us feel we had the cove mostly to ourselves with access to swimming, kayaking, and hiking. The house was well equipped, though I didn't realize until we arrived that the two half-baths are located next to each other in the basement. That means if you're sleeping in one of the lofts, it's two flights down at night to use the facilities.

Squam Lake Magic
We enjoyed our stay so much! It was absolutely perfect. The wonderful cabin is nestled in the woods but yet such a short walk down to private dock on Squam so we had the perfect blend of the woods and the lake. It was so peaceful and all the waterfront amenities are there to use so we enjoyed the canoe; kayaks; paddle boards. We cannot wait to come back again!

Perfect location on the lake with easy access to mountain trails. The cabin is well supplied with kayaks and floats. Lovely deck with gas grill. A ladder to one of the lofts would make the cabin challenging for some guests. The host and caretaker were easily reached and helpful. We enjoyed our stay.

Great place on Squam Lake
A perfect Squam Cottage on the lake. Sleeping arrangements are unique as parents can sleep in large cabin and kids - up to 4 - in the small cabin and have their own space. It was great for our teenagers. Squam is a beautiful place and this home a great launching point for all the lake and region has to offer.

Idylic spot on a stunning lake
After our second visit in two years, we love the place as much as ever, and hope to come back again soon. The only dropped star is an acknowledgement of the fact that this is a rustic cabin in the woods, so you can't expect a hermetically sealed, pristine environment. A few harmless critters and cobwebs come with the territory. Other than that, this is a charming, lovingly maintained place . And the location makes it extra special: a beautiful, quiet cove on a stunning lake...perfect for swimming, kayaking, fishing, sailing, etc. If you want peace and tranquility (Squam is remarkably uncrowded), this is one of the nicest spots on the lake. And the flora and fauna are amazing. Great hiking trails can be accessed directly from the cabin and, though the cabin feels quite secluded, it is only 15-20 mins away from excellent food & baked goods! All-round a perfect vacation getaway.

Rustic but charming cabin in a beautiful, peaceful wooded cove. Kind of place I'd want to return to every summer if given the opportunity.

Cozy log cabin w/ great access to lake and trails
A thoroughly enjoyable stay. Owner was very communicative and helpful. The log cabin is exactly that, a log cabin. Nothing fancy but very cozy with basic amenities. Only steps to the lake and a private dock. Easy walking access to the trailhead up to Rattlesnake Mountain or the trails that encircle Five Finger Point.
