Lovingly known as "Papa Bear", the rustic cottage was built in the 1950s. The cottage sleep 2-4 people.
Nestled into the trees on a small hill, Papa Bear Cottage overlooks Squam Lake, which is just about 100ft away! The area in front of the cottage has a small fireplace, grill, and chairs.
This cottage boasts exposed wood vaulted ceilings and more recently updated amenities (although still a quaint rustic experience!)
(note: Papa Bear has a larger staircase to walk up and may not be appropriate for guests with mobility issues)
