Squam Lake Inn

We love going in here when we stay at the lake. It's much like an added attraction. Wonderful people. Nice selection of wine, food, coffee. Supplies and items to add to our memories.nI've read some complain about prices. I find that unfair to place on a local market with local staff. Just enjoy it!!

It was very cute store. Some baked goods and other foods. I tried a cookie which was delicious. I found a cute tea pot reasonably priced. They had many gift ideas as well as t shirts as well as wine. For a small store it has alot to offer. The people were very helpful.

Great food, super high quality. Was very safe preparation covid appropriate! Was very surprised at how good it was. 10 plus score 1ud83dude0aud83dude00ud83dude01ud83dude07

Favorite local breakfast sandwich! Great lunch spot, too. Pull up in your boat (doc out back). Call ahead for easy pick up! Perfect stop before or after you hit the trails. Wine and beer selection, too. Cute lake items to browse while you wait for your order. A must visit while you are up at Squam!

Besides being a wonderful store with great baked goods, coffee, sandwiches, wine, and grocery items, I want to give a special shout out to Squam Lake Marketplace in Holderness, NH for doing the right thing since the beginning of the pandemic in keeping people safe and requiring (and enforcing!) mask wearing.    I've been so appalled at so many places that take a blind eye to this and therefore not caring about their employees' and customers' health, and while I do complain about places not doing the right thing, it is much more pleasurable to praise places that do the right thing.nnWhen the pandemic started, Squam Market installed a take out window, allowing nobody into the store, but offering a convenient online ordering system in addition to calling orders in.   When they finally allowed people to come into the store, they had signs out from the beginning saying that masks are required, even though they are in a town (Holderness) that does not mandate it.    Usually I do the online ordering system for baked goods, coffee, and sometimes grocery items, but when I do go in I see everyone (customers and employees) wearing a mask.   I've sometimes wondered what would happen if someone tried to come in without a mask.    The other weekend I found out, as when I was in there, there were two guys that came in without a mask.    The employee behind the register immediately and unequivocally informed them they needed a mask to be inside, and they could provide them a disposable mask for $1 if they didn't have one (at which point they left, good riddance!).    After being in so many different stores where employees and management will shrug and not want to deal with customers not wearing masks (or at most apologetically ask someone to put on a mask), it was amazingly refreshing and wonderful to see the mask policy enforced immediately and without vagueness.    I profusely thanked the employee behind the counter.nnI have considered Squam Market my oasis during the pandemic when I felt I could not go into many other stores (here's looking at you, Chase Street Market).    Even after the pandemic is over, I will remember which businesses did the wrong thing during the pandemic, and which businesses did the right thing.     For the most part stores that did not do the right thing have permanently lost my business.    Stores that did the right thing will get much more of my business.    It is a pleasure to try to go to Squam Market as much as I can -- and it doesn't hurt that the store is fabulous in its own right besides doing the right thing during the pandemic!
