About this house rental
On the shore of beautiful Squam Lake in Kesumpe Cove, this property is perfect for a large group such as a family reunion. There are 6 bedrooms, including a five-bed "bunk" room. This is a six generation rustic family camp built in the 20's with a large addition in the early 60's. There is no insulation and minimal additional heat so stays in early spring and fall can get chilly.
For boating, there is a shared dock with two dedicated boat slips. This is a W shaped dock with 3 fingers 6 x 40, the center finger is common use and the Camp Swan guests have use of a very large secure inside slip and the outside dock edge. The depth is suitable for nearly any vessel you would bring to this lake. We have docked a 26 foot vintage Chris Craft with no problems. Bring your own boat, or rent from one of several marinas in town.
Stay close and enjoy the call of the loons from the screened porch or venture further down the lake. You can swim off the docks to the nearby raft. Across the main road enjoy a hike on the Sandwich Range or take a short drive to Rattlesnake Mountain for amazing views of the lake from the rock face. Many great restaurants within a short drive. A popular area for biking as well. For children, the Squam Lakes Science Center is only one mile down the road.
We prefer backgammon, board games or puzzles while at the lake, but ROKU TV and Wi Fi are available. The town of Holderness is just 1 mile away for shopping.
Nearby attractions include Lake Winnipesauke, the White Mountains, with hiking along the Appalachian Trail, and outlet shopping in North Conway.
The Squam Lakes are well-known for magnificent mountain scenery and unspoiled beauty. Encompassing 7,700 acres of clear water and 65 miles of shoreline, the Lakes Region is a wonderful environment to experience a summer of unforgettable memories. Fishing, sailing, and canoeing are right off your doorstep.

Very impressed, we had a perfect family vacation. The lake and the Alvord home helped us make lifetime unforgettable memories. A Clean and comfortable home makes it more than 5 stars for us. Easy docking for the large pontoon that we rented to explore the beautiful lake. Thank you for having us. We would love to come again, Scott and Joy.

Spent another wonderful week on Squam! Camp Swan was set up for us - clean and ready to go. Love having direct access to the lake - to swim, kayak or boat. A short drive away and we can climb Morgan, Percival, or the Rattlesnakes. An ideal location for our active family!! Looking forward to next year!

We love Squam Lake and are so delighted that the Alvords shared their beautiful home with us. They are so friendly and responsive. Their home is just what a Squam lake home should be. Amazing screened in porch, confortable bedrooms, kitchen with everything you need and cozy ambiance. This is our second stay and we're already planning the next!

We had a wonderful time at George and Susan's camp on Squam Lake. The home is spacious, clean, full of character, and ideally located on the lake. George and Susan were excellent hosts, answering our questions before out stay. We look forward to staying there again!
