About this property

Lake Sunapee Access dock with sandy bottom beach for swimming, Mt Sunapee Skiing

Lake access, close to skiing, and hiking make this the perfect getaway for any season. This home has been completely renovated.

The living room is cozy and is an open area with the kitchen and dining room. Enjoy sitting by a fire in the wood burning stove in the living area.

The home has TDS cable and Wifi availability.

Offering 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms this home can easily accommodate a party of 8. There is a large Master Bedroom with a King Bed on the second floor. Also on the second floor is another bedroom with 2 full size beds. The second floor bathroom is a full bath with a shower stall.

On the first floor there are two bedrooms. One with a queen size bed and the other has a Trundle bed that turns into 2 twin size beds. There is also a full bathroom on the first floor with a bathtub.

This home offers Lake Sunapee access with a large dock area. You can swim, fish, suntan, relax and read a book, or watch the boats go by from this great vantage point. There is a launching dock for small watercraft like kayaks and row boats. We enjoy kayaking from this area whenever possible. There are steps into the water making swimming access easy so there is no need to climb rocks to get into the water here.

Mount Sunapee is 1.5 miles away and the Mountain always has events going on at the base lodge. You can check the calendar of events on their website to see if there is a concert, 5k mudrucker race, lobster bakes, or craftsmen fair going on during your planned stay. In the winter the Mountain offers fantastic skiing with terrain parks, challenging slopes, the new acro bag, and even winter ziplining. In the summer there is also a range of activities available at the Mountain. They offer Ziplining, off road Segway Tours, Frisbee golf, miniature golf, and more.

The views from the dock on Lake Sunapee are amazing and you could walk down and enjoy them anytime. It was an amazing night when we walked down with flashlights and watched all the shooting stars crossing the night sky. With little surrounding light the night sky can be fascinating and the kids absolutely loved seeing it.

The Fells historic home and gardens are very close by and in the summer they are a must see. The home brings you back to earlier times and the gardens are beautiful and have trails for you to hike down to the shores of Lake Sunapee.

If you are a more avid hiker there are trails all around this home that range from easy walks to more challenging climbs. The moderate hike up to sunset hill is enjoyable and can be attempted by anyone. One of the more challenging hikes is the Summit Trail that takes you from the parking lot of the ski mountain to its peak and if you want to extend that hike it connects to a trail that continues on to Kearsarge Mountain.

Extreme Inclines Curtailed Family Fun
While the property was lovely and comfortable with all the amenities we needed as a family. We were disappointed in the physical location and the unexpected terrain. The property has no clear view of the water and feel more like a treehouse than a lake front rental. The wooden steps up to the house are many and very slippery in the rain, for anyone with mobility issues this would be a problem. Finally, access to the lake front includes an extreme incline, making trips with water equipment and supplies incredibly difficult and involved. The area does have some good restaurants and activities but there is a weekend warrior rather than vacation land vibe.

To many steps
The house was clean and well equipped. However the climb from the parking area up to the house should be made clear (34 steps). Then there’s the hike to and from the dock. It’s a very steep incline to get to the water. Unless you use a stairclimber and are under 55 I’d look for something else.

Comments
I was there with siblings all 65+. It was difficult on interior and exterior chairs not having handrails; especially with luggage. Someone needs to check the light bulbs as there were a number out. The coffee maker needs to be updated from standard drip to Kuerig.

Love the house!
Love the house. It was nice and cozy. But it was a walk up and down a steep hill to the water. Lots of stairs to get to the house. I had a stroke and two knee replacements. Plus my husband had surgery done on his thigh. If I had realize there were so many steps I would not of rented it. But otherwise it was absolutely wonderful.

Cabin in the woods
Beautiful area of New Hampshire! The cabin is located in the woods a short distance from Lake Sunapee. You can see glimpses of the lake through the trees from the deck. It’s an older cabin, but comfortable for our 7 people and it had everything we needed. We had a great time! We did have a couple of issues. Check-in was challenging since the host had died the day before and there was no backup number, so it took us several hours to get the code to the lock box. Thanks to a neighbor, we were in before dark. We had an invasion of carpenter ants after the first rainstorm, but spraying the base boards, entry ways and a hole above the bottom of the stairway every night before bed kept them away. We were never able to get in touch with the other owner, but we were able to resolve the issue that we had at check out. Unfortunate about the death of the host. My sympathies to family and friends.

Girl’s Weekend
Property was not quite as described in pictures and written narrative. Walk to the water is short, but not if you are planning on bringing kayaks, chairs, etc. Really have to drive down. No real view of water. Trees blocking view from deck. Fire pit very over grown. Septic smell in morning was horrible if on deck. House needs a good cleaning. Lots of Spider webs in corners, ceiling, etc. Deck has nails that need to be hammered down. Cute place, but needs some care, painting, deep clean. There was an issue with it not being cleaned when we checked it. Owner was able to get cleaning people in with hour, hour and half. They did basic clean because we were sitting on the deck. However, owner compensated for this issue. Overall met our needs for a few days away.

Great place for family gathering
Had a great time for a smaller (10) family gathering. Enough sleeping quarters, nice deck, short walk to association deck to fish or float in surrounding water. Didn’t use the fire pit but was a nice set up. Cozy and nice all around.

Great house and excellent location!
I recently stayed here with my family. We were in the area for a ski trip to Mount Sunapee. The house is super close to the mountain which made it a very convenient place to stay. The neighborhood is quiet and very peaceful. The owner was easy to work with too. I would definitely recommend!

Perfect Family Gathering Place
We all had an amazing week enjoying the coziness & privacy of the house. We all slept comfortably & had space to be together in the open living room & adjoining deck. The kitchen is well equipped. The beautiful lake was enjoyed by all & only a short walk away. The fire pit in the yard was an added bonus where we spent several evenings together. Rick was very helpful, easy to communicate with & always available to speak to if needed. We found beautiful hiking trails to enjoy nearby as well as a good Italian Deli & great ice cream! It was hard to leave. I would highly recommend this property.

Perfect for our 8 person group
This Newbury property was perfect for our family trip with 8 people. There were enough rooms to fit everyone, a nice open main floor that opens out to a big deck - so we didn't feel cramped. The private dock was a short walk away and we always had it to ourselves. Great time and place, and working with the owner (Rick) was a breeze. We would definitely consider staying here again when we return to the area.

We had a great time at Rick's place this past weekend. We were headed to Mt. Sunapee for a ski weekend and needed a place for two families to stay. This place was perfect for five adults, two ten month olds, and a two and a half year old. We had a blast!

Great stay, warm inviting house with plenty of room for us all.
We had a great trip to Sunapee and the house was in a great spot for us to hit the ski slopes. Two families, total of nine people. We were all very comfortable and the sleeping arrangements worked out perfectly for four adults and five children between 10 and 14 years of age. We would definitely rent this house again for skiing and suspect it would be equally good in the summer. Thanks for everything Rick!
