Lodge in the Woods

This is a great property! You just get this relaxed feeling wash over you from the design of this building being so well integrated into the surrounding woodlands. No matter where you are in the house you feel connected to the outdoors - Peaceful, quiet & calming. What a wonderful place to stay while we celebrated our son's wedding. Plus the kitchen / LR level bedroom, bath & entranceway was perfect for our elderly mother.

Family stay

We had a great stay. The house was beautiful and cozy at the same time. Our 4-year-old had a blast playing chess with the jumbo chess board. Check in was easy and Michele was super responsive. Thanks for a great time for our family!

A week in the New Hampshire woods

The Tahoe was the perfect place for our 4th of July family and friends gathering. Its great room was the best spot to watch the storms roll in, the sunrise and sunset and just the trees and birds in general.

Family gathering

We had a lovely stay at this home and the sister property with plenty of space for everyone. The home was beautifully built and very clean. Check in and check out we’re very easy, communication with the host was very quick and easy. We ended up adding an additional night at the beginning of our stay without any issue. Nice outdoor space for entertaining. Would love to stay here again!

Perfect Wedding Weekend

My sister’s wedding party spent the weekend at this house and then hosted the wedding in the backyard. My family also rented the house next door from the same owner. The house was perfect- it has a rustic, upscale cabin vibe. The whole property is beautiful. There was lots of space for everyone to sleep and many places to gather inside and outside. A 20x20 tent fit nicely in the yard and there was plenty of parking. The owner was wonderful and flexible- she let us visit the property ahead of time and check in early so we could receive the tent delivery. She was also very responsive to messages. Google maps directed us a little bit too far down the road so I would rely on the owner’s directions and look at the house numbers once you’re on 103a. We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to return!

Big family get together

We rented both of Michelle‘s houses for our annual family get together. It’s a group of 17 ages 81 to 2 years old. The houses were both beautiful well stocked clean and spacious. Everyone had a room to themselves and the outside area was wonderful. Both houses have unique outside fire pits and the hot tub was the bonus. We will definitely return.

This is a really great house that can host friends in many areas. It was nice the kids could play and parents could enjoy time in the living. Having a fire outback was enjoyable in a chilly night. We have stayed before and will stay again.

Labor Day perfection!

This property was perfect while visiting our son at Colby. Close enough, but very private in the woods. Plenty of space for us to spread out, and the owners are super easy to work with, and very kind. We had a great time! Highly recommend.

Great Location for large family

Enjoyed our time at the Tahoe house. Lake Sunapee state park was very close and easy to get to. The pictures need to be updated, though, on the VRBO site. There is no longer a day bed on the 3rd floor. There were little bugs in the bathroom, but I think it was humid when we got there, which attracted them. Hot Tub is a plus. Overall great stay.

Everything Was Perfect!

Calling this experience magnificent is an understatement. The property is vast and provides a very calming atmosphere. The interior is impressive at every level and the house is stocked with everything you need (spices, extra batteries, even a crock pot). The property owners were always friendly, helpful, and extremely responsive.

A great place to gather!

We had a lovely weekend at this gorgeous house in celebration of my sister getting married! Seven of us stayed comfortably in this house, with plenty of room both inside and out. Michele gave us permission to have a small wedding shower for her on the Saturday of our stay and it went really wonderfully. The patio outside is so picturesque, with both a fire place and a fire pit! Huge wrap around deck with lots of seating. Great location for stargazing. Easy drive from the Boston area. We could not have found a better place! Hope to visit again! Thank you!!!

Great rental space!

We rented the house next door from this owner as well - great experience!! Perfect for the groups we needed to accommodate and being so close was great for meals and social time - this house is wonderfully laid out - you want privacy? You can have it. You want to socialize and hang out? There is great space for doing that! Really enjoyed our stay and will absolutely be renting one, if not both, of these homes again - thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Michele Lucey

Host profile image
We have lived in Newbury for over 20 years and built this property as a family affair with our extended family in Southern New Hampshire and Connecticut. We have raised our family here and it has become a favorite vacation destination for our friends and family. We are local and manage the property ourselves.

Why they chose this property

This property offers a prime location for access to all that the Sunapee area has to offer. The house is in a quiet secluded wooded area yet minutes from Sunapee State Park, Colby Sawyer College, area restaurants, and other local attractions. The house offers three levels of open space to accommodate your party and has bedrooms and bathrooms on each level.

What makes this property unique

Privacy with great outdoor space to enjoy summer evenings by the field stone fireplace or fire pit. The house has a large story fieldstone fireplace and huge windows to bring the outdoors in. Guests have held small weddings and wedding events at the house, opting to use it as a venue once they have seen it. The area is hugely popular for hiking, mountain biking, as well as road biking. The house has no direct access to Lake Sunapee but there are local beaches within just a few minutes to swim or launch a kayak. There is also terrific fishing at Otter Pond, Warner River, and Sugar River, all nearby. Hiking up Mount Sunapee to Lake Solitude is a moderately challenging hike and with beautiful views of Lake Sunapee and beyond well worth the trip.
