Check In, Breathe Out: A Smarter Way to Stay on Squam Lake
Experience Privacy, Flexibility, and Comfort at Cottage Place on Squam Lake

We’re excited to share an important update about how we’re evolving to better serve today’s travelers while preserving the charm and comfort that makes Cottage Place on Squam Lake so special.
Cottage Place has transitioned to a fully remote-operated micro hotel and private cabins, offering guests a seamless, independent, and personalized experience—whether staying in one of our private lakeside cabins or in our thoughtfully appointed suites.
This modernized system meets the growing demand for flexibility, privacy, and convenience, while still maintaining the warmth and hospitality our guests return for year after year.
What Is a Remote Micro Hotel?
A remote-operated micro hotel uses modern technology to streamline the guest experience—without the need for a traditional front desk. Guests can check in, access their accommodations, and communicate with our team entirely digitally, while still receiving personalized support as needed.
At Cottage Place, this includes:
- Contactless check-in and check-out
- Keyless entry via smart locks
- Instant communication via text, email, or phone
- Automated confirmations, updates, and support
- Optional in-person assistance as needed
On-Site Support When You Need It
Even though we’ve transitioned to a remote model, we understand that sometimes you want a familiar face or a little extra help in person. That’s why we have local support staff nearby who regularly come to the property—especially on weekends and busy check-in days—to ensure everything is running smoothly.
Whether you’d like a quick walkthrough of your cabin, help with your fire pit, or just a friendly welcome, we’re happy to be there when you need us. Guests can request in-person assistance in advance or during their stay, and we’ll gladly accommodate.

5. Modern Booking Experience
