    Built in 1890, the Squam Lake Inn has been restored into a charming New Hampshire bed and breakfast. Decorated in vintage New England charm, our White Mountains inn is designed to make every guest feel warm and welcome. Guests are invited to relax in our lobby in front of a roaring fire with a cup of hot tea, or curl up with a book in our cozy library. Outside there is plenty of room to relax or watch the birds and other wildlife on the wraparound porch or expansive mahogany deck of our Squam Lake bed and breakfast. Guests agree that breakfast, in our cheery dining room overlooking the grounds, is the best meal of the day! Menu items at our White Mountains bed and breakfast include seasonal ingredients and fresh local products that we serve with pride. Our New Hampshire B&B is also able to accommodate small events, family reunions and weddings both inside and outdoors.

    My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay at the Squam Lake Inn. Everything was outstanding from the Inn itself, to the staff and service. Meals were fantastic. We will definitely return!! Highly recommend a visit if you're in the Holderness area.

    My husband and I stayed at the Inn for four nights on our honeymoon trip to NH. We have no words to express how much we enjoyed our stay. The staff was amazing and they went above and beyond to make our stay very special. The staff was welcoming, treating us like family. They booked our boat tour on Squam Lake, recommended sites for us to visit and took care of us to make sure we enjoyed our time in the Lakes Region of NH. The food was out of this world! Breakfast , lunch and dinner were able to be made gluten free for my dietary concerns and were all fabulous. Everythingwas fresh and delicious!! There's no need to eat anywhere else. We stayed in the Eagle Nest room which has a fabulous claw foot bath tub, wonderfully comfortable bed and a very serene and quiet atmosphere. The complimentary shampoo, conditioner and lotion are wonderful and are also sold in the Red Barn. We loved it all! We have a five star hotel in our city that we have stayed at before, and we have to say the Squam Lake Inn surpassed that hotel, by far! The service, food, room, staff and atmosphere deserve more stars than we can award. The Inn is close to so much in NH. We hiked, dined, shopped and enjoyed the breath-taking fall foliage by just driving the area. If you are considering staying at the Inn, please book your stay NOW. You will not be disappointed. We plan on returning for an anniversary trip and have passed along the Inn's information to my husband's parent's for their New England trip. I wish there was more we could say to describe how special our time was at the Inn, but we will let you book your stay and experience the Inn for yourself. Enjoy!

    A cozy home away from home!

    My partner and I stayed in a Suite at the Squam Lake Inn in July 2011 and it was fantastic. The people were so friendly and accommodating and everything was immaculately clean. Everyone at the Inn was very helpful in setting up things to do and places to go. Breakfast each morning was homemade, delicious and plentiful. In the afternoons Cindy, one of the innkeepers, baked a fresh dessert for all the guests to enjoy along with complimentary tea and coffee. THE DESSERTS WERE AMAZING!!! We also decided to have dinner one night at the inn based upon numerous recommendations made to us. The food was excellent and the dining experience was relaxed and stress free! We're already planning our next visit.

    The perfect choice if you find yourself in the Lakes Region this summer! The rooms are uncluttered and perfectly kept. The breakfasts are to die for and whether you stay here or not, come back for a lunch or dinner. It is the best dining in the area. A few standouts for me were the Turkey & Avocado or Lobster BLT for lunch, and their out if this world homemade ice cream sandwiches. It is a minute lake to the shore of Squam Lake but set away and completely peaceful. A perfect lake getaway!
