About this house rental

This 9 bedroom, 6 bathroom former bed & breakfast is full of New England charm. Conveniently located a few steps from Sunapee Harbor, the Harbor House is within walking distance of restaurants, beach, boat launch, dinner cruise and more. A perfect place for making memories with friends and family. If you are looking for a bit of adventure, skiing and mountain biking at Mount Sunapee is only a 10-minute drive. In the summer, boating and swimming is popular on the lake as well as hiking and biking trails in the area.

The Harbor House was originally constructed as an inn in 1900. It is the perfect place to have a family get-together, sleep extra guests for a wedding or relax with friends. The first floor provides a dining room / living room, as well as kitchen and library. Washer and dryer are in their own space on the first floor. The dining room features a large table with seating for 18, as well as a gas fired wood stove to keep the space cozy for winter ski trips. The second floor has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, situated along a long hallway with stairs to the kitchen and front entrance room in the classic style of an New England inn. On the third floor, guests have a bathroom and their choice of 4 bedrooms. A large porch wraps around the outside and provides extra space outside for eating and relaxing in the summer months.

There are 2 UHD televisions with Roku (Netflix, Amazon etc.) and traditional cable channels. In the main kitchen, a large commercial gas stove and oven provide ample cooking horsepower. There is also a second kitchen above the garage. Two restaurant/bars are within walking distance. Wildwood Smokehouse restaurant is a five-minute walk down the road just past the Sugar River footbridge and is open year round.

We had a fantastic stay at this property for my husband's 40th birthday! We had a total of 18 people for 2 nights. The check-in process was seamless, and Spencer was a great host with excellent communication throughout our stay. The location was absolutely perfect—right by a beautiful, clean lake, and just a short walk to downtown, which was so quaint and charming. The home itself was spacious and easily accommodated our group, providing plenty of room for everyone to relax. My favorite part was the large dining room table which served us well for eating and playing card games into the night! One of the bedrooms is separated by a curtain from another bedroom, which worked for us as my family stayed in those two connecting rooms. Just an FYI for anyone counting on all the rooms being private. The kitchen was well-stocked with plenty of pans and accessories, making it easy for us to prepare meals together. The beds were incredibly comfortable—honestly, some of the best we've experienced at a VRBO! The only issue we encountered was a loose railing, which unfortunately caused my sister to fall down the stairs. Spencer was immediately concerned about her well-being, rather than the damage it caused to the stairwell. Upon investigation, we discovered the railing wasn’t anchored properly into the wall. Thankfully, no serious injuries occurred. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this property for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway!

We rented out the whole house and filled it for our family reunion this August. Spencer was an awesome host before and during our stay. He spoke with me and graciously made some accommodations for our group well in advance, and he was super responsive while we were onsite (provided extra linens, helped us troubleshot a clogged drain). The listing accurately reflects the house -- it's an old house and it's not luxury, but we knew that going in. The location is fabulous for an easy walk down to the harbor and an easy drive to the mountain. The neighbors were kind, too -- we shared some of our remaining groceries with them at check out!

Harbor House, an older but charming property, was the perfect setting for our family reunion - such a unique experience for the family to stay together in a former bed and breakfast! Being so close to so many different activities and within walking distance to the lake was a bonus. And at the end of long days of exploring Lake Sunapee and the surrounding area, we had plenty of gathering space inside the house and outside on the wonderful wrap around porch to just hang out and chill - perfect for a family reunion!

We had a great time! The house is exactly as described, fully stocked with everything you need, enough space for 15+ people, and in a great location! You can walking to a local restaurant and bar with live music and happy hour - or take a 5 minute drive to the MTN. The house has a separate apartment with full kitchen and two bedrooms which was so awesome when traveling with babies. The house was INCREDIBLY baby/kid friendly. Spencer was a great host and very responsive/helpful. Would totally reccomend for a big group! We will be back!

Melissa and Spencer were super hosts. The Harbor House lived up to it's description- we were 15 adults and one 2 yr old and we had a fantastic time. Plenty of sleeping room, plenty of conversation room, great table to seat all of us for Thanksgiving dinner. The second kitchen made it so easy to prepare dinner and dessert and keep everyone happy and busy. The game room will be an amazing addition when stocked but as a large empty space it was a playground for a 2 year old and many of the adults! The kitchen was fully stocked. The showers were great. Our hosts accommodated all of our special requests and were very responsive. Loved it!

The property was as advertised. Plenty of space, very good sleeping arrangements, great common and dining space and good kitchen accommodations. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves. There could be additional room ac units installed in the bedrooms which didn’t have them as we had some very hot humid weather on some of the days during our stay. The location is fantastic

Location is absolutely perfect. 3-minute walk to town and a nice property setting. The weather was beautiful, so we spent a lot of time catching up on the wrap around porch, but the living space was great when we moved inside for the night. Nice sized kitchen where we made some great meals. The place was very clean and Spencer (the owner) was completely available when we had questions. If you’re getting together with a bigger group, this is a great property to share some time and also be able to stroll down for an ice cream or coffee.
