The Squam Lake house was beautiful, clean and cozy. The house is located in a very quiet area with lots of wildlife. The Loons and baby bears (running across the road) were a thrill to see. We enjoyed walking down to the dock to put our feet in the water. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate during our trip or we would of swam at the dock or used the kayaks. We are hoping to visit again.
