This year we stayed at the Tall Pines again, and it was even more wonderful. What a beautiful place to be in rain or shine- thank you Betsy and to the whole Mead family for this treasure in the woods.

Incredible location and fully equipped house. Saw raccoons, heard owls each night, heard loons multiple times throughout the day and night, Chipmunks, crows…. Had a very memorable week and a very serene spot!

The A-frame is a charming, simple place in a beautiful location. Quiet and secluded at the end of the road and great spot on the lake.

After staying in houses all over Squam Lake I finally landed on one absolutely perfect for my family. The house is located way down a peninsula and has no other houses around it, which gives you incredible privacy and solitude. It was so quiet and we all enjoyed the comfortable and cozy house. There was plenty of space to spread out and watch the world go by either from the dock or the deck. The WiFi was great and allowed us to watch the Olympics every night. The owner was incredibly easy to work with and graciously allowed me to change our reservation by an entire year. We had the best week and I am already counting the days until we can go back next summer. Thank you so much for the loveliest week. 10/10!

This was a beautiful secluded property that was ideal for a weekend getaway for me and my husband. We were close to Franconia Notch and got to enjoy the beauty that autumn in New Hampshire has to offer. We really enjoyed the coziness of the cabin and the view of the lake from the dock was gorgeous. We are talking about coming back in the summer with our sons to take advantage of the great swimming area.

Great rustic cabin to stay for a weekend at squam. Very cozy and quiet. Great place on the lake and beautiful dock. Classic squam experience.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The cottage is located fairly central to the lake, set back from the shore a bit and very private. Center Harbor is quite close, which is a big plus for grocery runs, etc. Use of the dock, the canoe, and high speed internet were extra nice. The kitchen was well equipped as far as VRBOs go, but a little frustrating at times. We wish the cookware, plates, tools, etc. were more curated and better organized. Overall, we had a great time here. The place was fun and met our needs. We'd recommend!

We had a great time enjoying the fantastic location and spending lots of time on and in the water. The house serves us well and provides a peaceful retreat at Squam.

This was the loveliest trip, despite rainy weather- but I can’t imagine a better place to spend lazy, rainy days than this cabin. The house is a dream if you are looking for a cozy, rustic, well-cared for home with history and character. It was perfect for our family of four, returning to a lake that means a lot to our family. So peaceful, so much beauty.

Surrounded by woods and birdsong, this funky A-frame provided a wonderful retreat for my daughter and me. We set chairs on the dock and watched loons and ducklings swim by, mountains in the distance and beautiful sunsets. Swimming in the clear water was great. The house has some steep ladder-like stairs to the second floor but is really cozy with a well-stocked kitchen and a nice stone fireplace. We loved our stay at Squam.

Everything a camp should be. Comfortable beds, amazing (wow really) water pressure, open floor plan, massive dining table. Dock a view of paradise. Eagles, loon, and just a few tourists during the crazy autumn season. Loved all the nostalgia of hanging at a vintage house when we were kids, but with our kids. Would readily return. Happiest when everyone else seems to appreciate what a treasure the teepee is. Go Big Red!

I'd give it six stars if I could. One of the most untouched waterfronts and lake views you'll see. We swam, paddleboarded, biked, kayaked, and hiked, all of which were amazing, especially the water sports. It's hard to describe the beauty of this part of Squam in late summer - early foliage, rainbows, almost no boat traffic, loons, pristine shoreline, majestic islands with the Squam Range and Mt Chocorua looming behind. The A-frame is old school with all you need for the time not spent on the lake. In a word....stunning.

This cute A-frame cottage has the perfect location on Squam Lake. No neighbors, just 100% peace and quiet. Easy access to different parts of the lake. The A-frame construction is charming. The path very gently slopes down to the dock and small beach. A great place to launch my Fliteboard.

After too many years away we fell asleep to loons calling! Finally got to show our son what life is like On Golden Pond. Loved the unique and cozy house. Perfect location – quiet, secluded, lots of loons, and great dock with fabulous view of the lake. Very clean and well stocked. Betsey was very responsive with questions before our stay and Kara was great with info once we got there. A wonderful vacation!

But do confess, the new WIFI was a plus. No more trips to the library parking lot. Nice to have the eagle overlooking the dock for part of the day. Always a treat to stay here.

Cool and Rainy week but still fun!

The first 3 days just reaching 60, the fireplace was wonderful to keep us warm with the ceiling fans and blower on. The A-frame was nice and spacious with a large dinning table which was our evening game table. When the sun did come out we enjoyed the crystal clear lake, swimming, kayaking and beautiful sunsets. We also caught some nice fish!

Terrific Squam retreat

Terrific Squam retreat

Our famiy of four recently had a wonderful stay at this home, it's an amazing spot to unwind and enjoy everything that Squam has to offer. The house itself is in a very private location and while we were a little concerned it would be a little cramped, that just wasn't the case at all. The layout inside was great - lots of daybeds to spread out on. The owners of the property were very prompt in answering questions leading up to the trip, and were a pleasure to interact with. For those with mobility issues the stairs to the second floor are more of ladder (the photos depict them accurately) and would be tricky to navigate but our family didn't have any issues with them. We would aboslutely stay here again, having vacationed on Squam for many years this was one of the best places we've stayed!

Great getaway. This A frame is tucked away in the woods right on the lake. We were able to keep our boat at the dock & enjoy using it all week. Good communication & we had everything we needed.

Loved the location and enjoyed the house. Too bad the sunfish had to be retired. New Wi-Fi still needs a bit of tuning, but only noticed that because I needed to get some work done that week (really didn't want to have to use Wi-Fi at all!).

Truly special location

Truly special location

My family enjoyed a wonderful stay. We used the canoe almost every day. It's an easy paddle from the dock around to several islands. As a bonus, the house has comfortable day beds built along the walls, so on our one rainy day, everybody had a comfortable place to read. It's hard to imagine a better location.

Owners were so welcoming! Thank you!!! and we will be booking again next year!
