Check In, Breathe Out: A Smarter Way to Stay on Squam Lake

Billie Agey • October 28, 2025

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.


The Perks of Remote Operations

1. Easy, Contactless Arrival

Skip the front desk. Guests receive everything they need before arrival and head straight to their Suite or Cabin with ease.

2. More Privacy and Freedom

Enjoy your stay on your schedule, with fewer interruptions and greater flexibility.

3. Flexible Check-In Options

Whether you're arriving early or after hours, our system makes it easy to access your accommodation at any time.

4. Responsive Digital Support

Need something during your stay? Our team is just a message away—ready to assist remotely or coordinate in-person help when needed.

5. Modern Booking Experience

From reservation to check-out, everything is streamlined online for your convenience.


What Hasn’t Changed

While our operations have gone digital, the charm of Cottage Place remains the same. Guests continue to enjoy:

  • Private Cabins and Suites steps from Squam Lake
  • Pet-friendly accommodations and family-friendly spaces
  • Access to our private beach, private dock, fire pit and picnic spaces
  • A quiet, welcoming atmosphere in the heart of New Hampshire’s Lakes Region

There is something different about Squam Lake in the middle of the week. The pace slows. The water feels calmer. The shoreline is quieter, and the pressure to do everything disappears.

Glamping has become a popular way to enjoy the outdoors without giving up comfort, but not all glamping experiences are created equal. In many places, “glamping” means a tent with upgraded bedding or a rustic cabin with shared facilities and limited privacy.
