Squam/Winnipesaukee Rental Help?

Parker21 · 01-08-2007, 06:52 PM

I'm looking to rent a lakeside house the last week of August. It will be my wife and I, my parents and two young children (they'll be 3 and 1). We are looking for a quiet area that is relatively close (10) minute drive to a quaint town. I assume most rentals do not have sandy beaches, so proximity to a decent beach would also be good. My father and I will (hopefully) be fishing every AM in a small boat, so a protected area would also be preferred. We have been told that Squam/Little Squam would be better than the big lake? Are there areas of Winnipesaukee that you think we'll be happy with, or Squam? Last year we rented a house on the East (quieter) side of Lake George, NY and loved it. My brother is getting married near Fryeburg (Sp?) ME, this year, so we're looking in the Winnipesaukee area. What would not make me happy is constant jet-skies, ski boats, etc right out the front door, and being 5 minutes from a Mc Donalds.

Thanks in advance.
