Welcome to a charming lakeside private home in a fabulous location for a most peaceful yet eventful vacation on Squam Lake. The private lakeside stone terrace and 30' dock, and garden provide stunning views of the Squam Range and White Mountains, and is a perfect venue for family and friend gatherings.
The waterfront area, with exclusive access to a private 30' long dock for enjoying the lake and sun, is an ideal place to launch our 3 kayaks from the dock as well as moor your motor boat. You also have access to a shared clay tennis court, and enough space in the garden for badminton or other lawn games.
This lakefront house sits in a calm, protected point on Squam Lake and has something for everyone. Whether you are enjoying coffee on the terrace, spotting the loons on the lake, taking a swim from the dock, an afternoon nap in the lakefront hammock, turning cart wheels on the lawn, sitting in the screened-in porch, enjoying a barbecue near the picnic table or simply relaxing by the fireside in the evening, West Acres has what it takes to make it a truly memorable vacation on Squam.
