New Hampshire Haven
We enjoyed three nights in this beautiful home on Squam Lake. Nestled in the pine forest on the edge of the Lake, it affords beautiful views of the surrounds. However, it is the house that is the winner. Beautifully and creatively designed and fully equipped, with a wonderful kitchen, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Gorgeous family retreat
Our family had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home. The location was wonderful, on a quiet Squam Lake cove and only a 5 minute drive from Center Harbor. The design of the house was amazing, with communal areas being open and inviting with the best views of the lake. Bedrooms were well laid-out and accommodating. It was a real treat to stay there!

Magical and Memorable Holiday!
This home is as beautiful as it looks! The hosts were very gracious and thoughtful about making our stay absolutely wonderful. It was the perfect place to spend Christmas with our adult sons and 94-year-old dad. We enjoyed cooking meals together in the large kitchen and gathering around the wood-burning fireplace. We formed memories that will last a lifetime! Thank you David and Sharon for sharing your home with us!

Beautiful home, lovely vacation!
We enjoyed this home with three generations—it was lovely. The owners were very responsive to a few minor issues. Be sure to look into either renting your own boat or hiring one out for a tour of the lake—so much beauty and history!

Great place to work and relax
I took my team to this lovely home in NH for our twice-yearly in-person staff retreat. It was the perfect place for us to do some hard work — and to have some time to enjoy just being, both by ourselves and together. The layout of the kitchen / great room / dining space was particularly conducive to spending time working together. We really enjoyed our time and hope to go back.
