Peaceful lakeside cottage

During the week, Dog Cove is very quiet and we loved the tree-filled property, especially the views from the screened porch. If you’re looking for a simple summer getaway on Squam, this is perfect.

Beautiful location and wonderful stay

The cabin is clearly loved and cared for, clean and well equipped with all that was needed for dinners in with a new baby. The location is excellent to jump over to Winnipesaukee or up to the white mountains. The canoe was fast and the dock was perfect for sunsets. The only think that could have made it any better would be a swim dock as I like to spend a lot of time in the lake. It definitely didn't prevent swimming or fun in the water. We had a great time and would stay again. .

a very nice house on the water

We had a lovely weekend here. The dock, the floaties, and the canoe were well used. The house and kitchen were fully stocked with all the supplies you could need. Our only complaint is that we, in part, chose this house because it listed AC. However, there was only one unit in the entire house and it was in a bedroom and the weekend we were there was particularly hot.

Lovely time on Squam Lake

The swimming is fantastic, the house spacious with all one could need, and the porch overlooking the lake is especially nice. Many good hikes in the area and kayaking at Squam Lake Association.

What an amazing week!

The house was great... access to the lake, with a beautiful dock. The attic fan cooled down the house as soon as the 90° Day’s turned into 60° nights. Access to Center harbor and Holderness was quick and easy. Our family of six really enjoyed our week and look forward to booking again next year! Might need two weeks...

Our Stay

We had a great stay. Wish there wasn't as much shade in-front of the house from the trees, but there is not much you can do about that. Definitely needed to rent a boat to get all of the sun, which wasnt a problem. Loved the house and the location. Overall, definitely recommend.
