The lake is the best, the cottage is 1950s or 1960s style, which is lovely for a camp. the 2 queen beds were both comfortable, the cottage was quite clean. You are in the woods, so the occasional ant is to be expected, although the owners are scrupulous about baiting for ants and preventing mice. 2 kayaks w paddles and PFDs were available, and there is a private dock. the water is as clean as I've ever seen. We enjoyed the lake and the cottage, and would seek out this rental if we decide to return to Squam. Definitely a great experience.
