Early visitors to Squam Lake came seeking an escape from industrial life and to immerse themselves in a quiet wilderness. Formerly known as “Elizabeth Island”, Potato Island, as it’s known today, has stood the test of time. Only a short boat ride from restaurants and provisions of downtown Holderness, it’s time to immerse yourself in your own private island retreat. Tie your vessel to the U-shaped dock and unload and unwind for the weekend. The Island welcomes you with blueberry bushes, sunrises & sunsets, and a full array of wildlife. A seasonal cottage originally built in the 1930’s offers comfortable living with an updated kitchen from the 1990’s and a large sleeping loft on the 2nd floor. Evenings are spent on the large front porch or in front of the campfire as you listen to the Loons before bed. A generous outbuilding houses everything you may need for island life, including a generator, fuel, and various watercraft. Enjoy the outdoor shower as you begin your day on the Lake. Now is your time to enjoy Squam Lake the way it was meant to be enjoyed.
