Cottage Place on Squam Lake

Renter beware! This property is situated on a very busy road (Route 3) that has lots of dump trucks, tractor trailer trucks as well as general traffic all day. It stopped around 10pm and started up again at 3am - it didn't make for a "relaxing" or "simple" experience. If I had small children I would not feel comfortable with this location (teens and older, yes). The beach was beautiful but the traffic noise made it so disquieting it was hard to find peace. The beach is sandy and there is a float to swim out to. So beach wise (minus the noise) was an A. There were may paddle boards but only one canoe, one 2 person kayak, and two other single kayaks for use. They were available all day so obtaining one was easy. Now, onto the cabin itself. Rustic - yes, simple - yes, worth $300 per night absolutely not! The bed was so uncomfortable we barely slept (between the traffic and the horrid mattress). The fridge/freezer combo worked. The hot plate worked but there were 2 tiny plates and no bowls. We looked for the microwave to heat up some coffee but it was in the closet unplugged. Turns out the three prong plug was in the bathroom (at the end of an extension cord) and we would have had to move it to the bathroom to work. Water pressure and water temp were ok. We were locked out of our cabin and they didn't respond to us for 5 hours!! There is no one on site at the property, we had to leave a message. This place was not worth the money.

The size and location were great for what we needed. We really enjoyed our stay!

Very easy to access. Even though front desk was closed when we got there, it was very easy to get all the instructions over the phone. Amazing, cozy and beautiful little cabin. Beautiful front lake as well. Very clean and heater was on. We will definitely be back! Thank you

Went during snow storm was plowed out the next morning. Would have been helpful to have a snow shovel on hand in the cabin to clear the stairs and walkway
