Stunning + Exceptionally Peaceful
Our family was celebrating a birthday and our wish was for time and space, together. This stunning property with its beautiful, modern design, airy but cozy spaces and deep connection to the lake, light and old growth trees was beyond expectation.
We cooked, made fires, played cards, explored the surrounding woods and, happily, did little else. We skipped rough plans for a local dinner one night, no one wanting to leave and preferring instead to cobble together a meal at the broad kitchen island.
Mostly we spent days shifting around among the home’s many perches and nooks - the reading chair on the catwalk, the steel fireplace that anchors the living room, the adirondacks by the lake, the four bunk room that feels like a treehouse, the hot tub. Every space was designed with incredible thoughtfulness and intent.
This place is a gift. An escape to nature with exceptional comfort and midcentury design delights around every corner.
Thank you, Sharon and David for sharing your incredible home. The feeling as we regrettably packed up was - grateful. We will be back.

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!

Contemporary Dream
Beautiful home in a beautiful setting. We had such a wonderful week in this stunning home. The owners have thought of everything and all we did was relax, enjoy the lake, the views, the fireplace, the paddle boards, the beautifully situated kitchen and hot tub! We never even turned on the TV! Great home for our family vacation.

Perfect Location
My husband, four kids, in-laws and I all stayed at this Squam Lake property to celebrate my FIL’s 80th birthday. Low-key relaxation is what we were looking for and boy did it deliver. We spent our days fishing from the dock, canoeing, kayaking, lounging in the hammock and hot tub. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. The house is thoughtfully stocked. Hosts are beyond amazing and you couldn’t ask for a better location. It’s quiet and peaceful but close enough to the madness of Winnipesaukee if that’s your speed. Overall, highly recommend a stay at this property.

Amazing house and host
Pictures don’t do it justice! Amazing house and property, only thing that could have made it better is if we stayed longer. We will be back! Host was super accommodating and made sure our stay was nothing but excellent.
