Welcome to Mink Island Cottage—a charming, well-cared-for one-bedroom getaway in the heart of downtown Holderness, nestled on the shores of Little Squam Lake. This cozy, seasonal retreat is part of the beloved Perkins Cabins cooperative association, a rare and intimate lakeside community of just 12 owners, where every cottage is named after a Squam Lake island. Step into this front-row, water-view cottage and be instantly transported to lake life nostalgia. Featuring painted white pine interiors, a cozy fireplace, and an open-concept living room and kitchen, the space offers timeless warmth and comfort. The screened-in porch is the crown jewel—an idyllic spot to sip your morning coffee while watching the sun glimmer across the lake. Just steps away, you’ll find your dedicated dock slip, giving you seamless access to boating adventures on Little and Big Squam. Enjoy evenings gathered around the common lakeside fire pit, or stroll across the nearby bridge to Squam Lake for breathtaking views. With on-site parking, a large shared lawn, and unbeatable proximity to the Holderness Marketplace and local restaurants, every detail is designed for effortless enjoyment. Whether you’re dining out, grabbing ice cream, or launching your kayak, everything is truly within walking distance. This is lake living at its finest—offering all the joys of front-row waterfront ownership at a fraction of the cost.
