Fernledge was a phenomenal lakeside cottage! From the moment you turn off the main road it feels special; like you are entering a secret. The pictures don't really do the place justice. Yes, it is a cottage so don't go expecting some sort of modern mega-mansion. Instead it fits into the landscape and allows you to feel part of that setting without the discomforts of camping. The addition of a screened in porch was a wonderful idea. It brings the lake views and breezes into the house while keeping bugs and rain at bay. Not that we had many bugs or much rain!Practically, the main bedroom is a good size while the 2 others are very small, but no one in our group spent much time there anyway. The kitchen is also tiny, but well equipped. Wi-fi was sufficient. There is a small TV, but no one used it. As another reviewer mentioned the driveway is steep, but my little GTI made it. There is also parking at the top in case you don't feel like doing the driveway every time. As for sap complaints....well yeah, you are surrounded by pine trees in the woods. That's like complaining there were chipmunks ;). Swimming was divine. As was kayaking. Do take a paddle out to the little islands, or just around the coves to see loons. The Squam Lake Association loon tour is worth doing especially if some in your party don't kayak; it's a good way to get them out on the water to see more of the lake. Center Harbor is an easy 10 minute drive away if you absolutely have to leave the cottage.

The cabin is rustic, but that’s what I loved about it. The view is beautiful and the screened in porch is perfect. However, there’s almost no Wi-Fi and poor cell service so don’t come thinking you’re going to get any work done. All we could really do was text. We also had a smoke alarm going off the first day and night and couldn’t reach the property owner to get it fixed until the following day. But overall it was a wonderful stay.

Beautiful location for the cottage. We enjoyed walking right down to the lake each day . I can see how your family would enjoy their vacations on the lake.
We were disappointed in how rustic the cottage truly was. Never planned to have had to share the cottage with mice on the counter tops daily. Squirrels coming into the bathroom and bats. The grill was to Dangerous to use. Thanks to family members living in the area we were able to borrow sheets, towels, and a safe grill.
We never saw any agreement to rent the cottage only made paids to the rental company. We and your plumber were surprise he was the main contact for your property. Next time I will do a better job reviewing and contacting the owner of the property earlier. We will continue to look for other rentals on Squam Lake for the future.
