About this property
Squam Lake, lake front property, stunning views, private peaceful retreat
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.
This location also provides easy access to a number of attractions and activities nearby. The Squam Range offers mountain hiking trails, and fast moving rivers and brooks. Shopping and restaurants can be found in Sandwich and Center Harbor, both just 4 miles away. Tamworth, with its theatre, distillery, and farmer's market is just a few further miles north. There is a golf course in nearby Tuftonboro, a Science Center in Holderness, and quaint country villages all within easy reach.
Squam Lake is ideal for swimming, snorkeling, waterskiing, paddle boarding, sailing and fishing. A wealth of coves and islands can be explored by kayak. For hikers, the Squam Range, White mountains and Presidential Range offer trails ranging from 30 minutes to all-day and overnight excursions. The Koenig Wildlife Reserve down the road and Loon Center are perfect for bird enthusiasts, while the Squam Lakes Science Center's collection of raptors, otters, bobcats, bears, and even mountain lions is a great spot for the whole family.

About the host
Hosted by Juliette Carpentier
I have been coming up to Squam every summer since I was a few months old, and this is the case of my siblings, my mother and all my numerous aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews and cousins. There has been a Pratt presence on Brown Point Road since 1905, and each generation is as committed as the past one to continue to build roots in this stunning area of the world.
We tend to all come up for the month of August during which time we have many family reunions and each successive generation gets to run wild and reconnect with each other and nature.
We all love the outdoor living we can enjoy at this time. Swim, ski, kayak, paddle board, sail, play tennis, climb, ramble and the rest are our daily entertainment. Not to mention the many picnics, barbecues and dinner parties that we organise with friends and family.
Our time at West Acres is the real highlight of our year and each one of my siblings and myself choose to spend the month of August on the lake and leave our European homes behind in favour of our dream place on Squam.
