The Cottage Place on Squam Lake is situated on the shores of pristine Little Squam Lake in Holderness, a perfect location for your vacation or just a few days of peace and nature. Our vacation rentals include seven cottages, one six-bedroom lodge, and eight cottage suites all of which offer year-round access to the lake and surrounding area. We are located within a half-hour of five ski areas, and have direct access to trails for all kinds of winter activities.
During the winter seasons, there's plenty to do in our corner of the Lakes region. You can step outside for some snowshoe hiking, cross-country skiing or a snowmobile ride. If the lake's frozen enough, you can try your hand at some ice fishing, or just enjoy a quiet stroll along the beachfront. Of course, you can also spend your time in the warmth of your room or our lodge if that's your preference.
