Billie Agey • February 23, 2026

We’re excited to announce that Cottage Place on Squam Lake is now a proud member of the New England Inns & Resorts Association (NEIRA)

The New England Inns & Resorts Association has been serving hoteliers for over a century, created by New England innkeepers to support their peers. Today, the organization includes more than 300 members from across the region, ranging from charming boutique properties to large, multi-location operations. NEIRA focuses on three core areas for its members: marketing, professional development, and building connections within the hospitality community.

This membership is an exciting step forward for our lakeside retreat as we continue to grow, enhance the guest experience, and strengthen our ties to the New England hospitality community. By joining NEIRA, Cottage Place on Squam Lake becomes part of a trusted network of independently owned and operated lodging properties that share a commitment to quality, authenticity, and memorable guest experiences. This connection allows us to collaborate with other hospitality professionals, stay ahead of industry trends, and continue refining what we offer to our guests, from relaxing lakeside getaways to retreats and corporate events.

Our mission has always been to create a welcoming space where guests can slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the natural beauty of the Squam Lake region. Becoming a member of NEIRA reinforces our commitment to excellence and positions Cottage Place among some of New England’s most unique and guest-focused destinations.

We’re honored to join this community and look forward to the opportunities this partnership brings as we continue to grow and serve our guests with care.

Stay tuned for more updates as we move into this exciting new chapter.
