Adorable A-Frame

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.

Cute Place

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!

Heaven!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth Mead Noel

My grandfather purchased land on Center Harbor Neck nearly 100 years ago. He gave the piece where this house is located to my father, who designed (with my mom) and built the Tall Pine Teepee in the late 1960's. My father has passed, but my mom owns it and I handle the rentals. I've come to Squam every year of my life, and introduced my family and friends to its wonders. We cherish our quiet time here, and hope you will, too.

Why they chose this property

If you know Squam, you know that the tip of Center Harbor Neck is an ideal location on the lake. We have a Western exposure for all-day sun. Ten minute drive to Center Harbor for supplies. Quick run to Holderness to get boat gas. Perfect view of the mountains. Sunset views from the house and dock. Quiet location at the end of the road in the woods. Mosquitoes included at no charge!

What makes this property unique

12 acres of woods surrounded by conservation land. Crystal clear Squam waters with a clean, sandy bottom. Visits to and from loons. Great swimming, boating, fishing. Nearby golf, hiking, tourist attractions. Nature all around you.
