Molly and Brendan
The Squam Lake Inn has become the go-to destination for couples looking for a peaceful and romantic getaway, as well as for groups seeking a comfortable basecamp to retreat to after daily excursions in the surrounding mountains and lakes. The on-site restaurant, Inn Kitchen + Bar, is a cherished community landmark where visitors and locals gather to enjoy fresh, artful cuisine with the highest quality ingredients, outstanding wine and craft beer, signature cocktails, and superb service in a comfortable and lively atmosphere
As new owners, we are excited to steward these thoughtfully established traditions. Molly started at the Inn as a housekeeper while she was a student in nearby Plymouth State University’s business department. Since then she has worked every job here, from front desk, to server, to bartender, to kitchen staff, and eventually general manager. She helped grow the business to what it is today, and was here at every stage to witness firsthand the love and care that went into creating it. To finally have the opportunity to own it is a dream come true for Molly. She is excited to begin a new chapter as co-owner with her family by her side.
Also a PSU graduate, Brendan’s background is in education. Before transitioning to full time at the Inn, he spent his career as a special education teacher in neighboring Sandwich. Brendan has a passion for the outdoors. One of his favorite things to do at the Inn is to help guests find adventures during their stay. Whether it’s a stroll by the lake, hiking up a mountain, kayaking, or going for a scenic drive, Brendan loves to share his knowledge of the area to help guests have fun while they’re here. He’s a big winter sports fan as well. So be sure to ask him about ice skating, skiing and snowboarding, snowshoeing, cross country, or good winter hikes.
We are passionate about creating a memorable experience for each guest, and look forward to welcoming you to the Inn.

Debbie
Hi! I’m Debbie, better known as “Molly’s Mom”. Following many meaningful years raising my three children in Montana I moved to New Hampshire with my daughter to continue my career with the US Forest Service here on the White Mountain National Forest. Post retirement I have enjoyed the opportunity to contribute to this family business. I have the pleasure of serving our delicious breakfasts, sharing local tips and hidden gems with guests, and helping with front office operations and bookkeeping. Outside of work I find joy in gardening and exploring the natural beauty of the region. One of my favorite ways to unwind is by kayaking on the serene waters of Squam Lake, surrounded by the peaceful landscapes that make this area so special. I look forward to seeing you here at the Squam Lake Inn!
