I stayed here with my parents for 5 nights over Labor Day weekend. We experienced a range of weather (cold/cool in the beginning and hot/humid towards the end) and I marveled at how the property owner had thought of everything we'd need to be comfortable. Multiple AC units and fans, but also blankets and central heat - we used all the above! We had such a wonderful stay. The cottage is FULLY STOCKED with just about everything you could need to enjoy some days on the lake. I kept thinking to myself that everything was so thoughtfully provided. (We would have liked some kitchen items such as a paring knife and more bowls but we probably use a kitchen more than most vacationers). Alicia was very easy to reach when we had questions and was also easy to coordinate with when my dad realized he left some clothes in the dresser and needed to return a couple days later! Highly recommend and we'd love to come back some day. Oh how I wish there was a second bathroom here so I could bring my kids and husband (along with my parents) next time!

There were no surprises when it came to the property, everything was just as Alicia had described. The house was neat and clean and well suited for our family of four (including 2 young children). Accessing the water was easy with the stairs off the dock and it was so nice to be able to keep our boat right there. The neighborhood is very quite, even during the days. Alicia helped to make this vacation easy with her quick responses to any questions we had.

This place was nothing short of fantastic! It’s small but perfectly appointed and quaint. Alicia has thought of everything and the care she takes truly shows! The location can’t be beat - basically walking distance to Newbury Harbor and the ease of swimming off the dock made it great fun for my 8 year old son. The included water toys made this a truly special time at the lake. We will most definitely be back!

Super easy, cute place in great location. Just 5 minutes from the mountain and right on the water - a great spot for any season. It’s small but was everything we needed.

The house was perfect for our group and our needs. We are 2 adults with 2 teens. The space was set up nicely, clean and very functional. We barely used the kitchen, but it seemed fully-equipped. The TV was big and the couches were comfy. The view is beautiful and we'd consider coming back in the summer. And we hope to be back next winter for skiing.

Our family had a great stay while enjoying a ski vacation at Mt. Sunapee. House is well equipped, comfortable beds & accommodations, just a few minutes drive to the ski hill. Alicia was great - so accommodating, sent helpful information for non-ski day activities, restaurants, etc. Would stay here again & would highly recommend to others.

My wife and I made a spur of the moment decision to rent the cottage on Shore Drive. We were there Wednesday through Sunday, post-Labor Day. The house was perfect. Small, but spotless and equipped with anything we could have asked for. The house is in a small cove with houses lining the shore. On weekdays (remember, this was after Labor Day), it was very peaceful and idyllic. As one would expect, things got busier once the weekend arrived. Lots of people on decks close at hand--all friendly--and water sports galore. Not so noisy as to be problematic (and everything quieted down at night), but also not a secluded, private space. We will definitely consider renting again, though for us this is likely an "off-season" option; younger, more active people than us would find this a near perfect spot.

Another Great Week
We love staying at this house and enjoying the lake and all the boats. We got such fantastic weather we barely had to leave the dock! Alicia is as good as it gets for a host. Very responsive and thoughtful for anything you need or any question you have. The canoe/kayaks/paddleboards provide hours of fun and there is always fish under the dock to look at with a snorkel. We will be back!

We stayed for an extended weekend and the property was a perfect place to relax and forget about the day to day grind. We fished, hiked, and took the canoe out. Alicia was very helpful and made sure that we had everything to make our stay stress free. Even with the weather being on the cooler side, we had a great time and enjoyed the property and surroundings.

My wife and I needed a quick weekend away and we found this place as we wanted something on the water, but not too big since it was just the 2 of us. It was so peaceful and tranquil, it was exactly what we were looking for. The home was cozy with the pellet stove and had a wonderful water front patio and dock which we enjoyed thoroughly!

Wonderful Vacation Spot
Alicia was extremely responsive and keeps this home in as good of shape as you could possibly ask. The amenities and the access to the lake are fantastic and unmatched in the area. My family and I had the best vacation. I'm in it for the swimming and boating but if you want to just lay out and enjoy a ridiculous view and read a book this is the spot for that too. Can't wait to return!!!

Perfect!
The house and location were amazing and just what we needed! When we weren't swimming and/or boating multiple times a day, we enjoyed the peaceful and beautiful view from the house. It's the cleanest/clearest lake I've ever seen. The house was perfect and had everything we needed and the kids loved having the loft space upstairs.

Perfect Little Cottage
It was everything we looked forward to. Plenty of room, great patio areas to hang out, everything you need in the kitchen, etc. Nice sandy bottom for swimming and a nice dock for the boat. What more can you ask for?

Heaven...
Our week at Alicia's property could not have been more perfect. The house was just as beautiful as advertised and the location - with direct access to the lake - was exactly as we imagined (if not better). Alicia was extremely helpful and responsive. Our only regret is that we did not reserve this spectacular home for more than one week!

Beautiful setting for this quaint lake front cottage. Clean, well looked after place with immediate access to a sandy beach and convenient dock. Adding Dish TV for continuous and easy watching would be a plus.

Cozy, clean, comfortable.
Great location, just a few minutes from Newbury harbor and Mt Sunapee. Fantastic dock and access to the lake, and includes kayaks, paddleboard, life jackets, and much more. Fit our family of 6 just fine. Will absolutely be going back for future visits to the lake.

Beautiful location, beautiful house.
Our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 teenagers) thoroughly enjoyed our stay. All aspects of the home are well thought out to accommodate guests. The location is ideal - a place to dock a boat, a nice cove for swimming, kayaks, paddleboard, or just floating. The host, Alicia, promptly replied to questions and concerns. We loved the view!

Beautiful and Tranquil Lake Sunapee Cottage
I stayed here this past weekend with my family consisting of 8 adults. I was worried about the size of the house, but it was not a problem at all! The beds were extremely comfortable and we had amazing weather so we were outside most of the time. The dock is amazing, and the water is so clear and refreshing. We took advantage of the kayaks and the paddle board and we loved the quiet relaxing cove. The house is very updated, clean, and the kitchen and bathroom are stocked well with everything you could need. Outside we used the grill for cooking lunch and dinner and had a fire at night overlooking the water. There is a gas station, Hannaford, and even a farmers market nearby. If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation right on the beautiful lake, this is the place to be! We would love to stay here again next summer.

A prefect waterfront cottage!
The Lake Sunapee House is the perfect location to relax and enjoy all that the lake has to offer. Swim, ski, and soak up the sun...it's the perfect location to do that and more. The cottage is warm and cozy and offers the best location for waterfront dining.

Beautiful home in a beautiful setting
This property is phenomenal. The home is absolutely beautiful and is stocked with all the dish ware, appliances and other amenities that you need. We only needed to bring clothes from home. When we arrived, the house was spotless. The backyard has two outdoor dining areas and lounge chairs - which were great for watching the kids in the water while I got some sun. The lake itself is clean and shallow - perfect for daily swimming.
The owner - Alicia - was incredibly nice and helpful. She was also very responsive to any inquiries we had both before and during our stay. This property is well-deserving of 5 stars!

What a wonderful cottage! Such a perfect spot on the lake with ample outdoor space.
Our stay was so relaxing. The cottage was beautiful and provided so many essentials that I could have packed half of what I did. Alicia pays attention to every detail & it shows! Her communication was great and our stay was stress free. I have to ask her what mattresses she has, down to the pull out couch, as they all were so comfortable!! We are hoping to rent again next summer. A++

We had a great time - enjoyed the location very much and the yard leading down to the water was picturesque and peaceful. The house had everything we needed and we took advantage of all that the area had to offer. Planning to go back again!

Perfect family retreat at the lake!
Our family was thrilled with this cottage last week! Alicia anticipated all of our needs and emailed us details prior to our stay. Upon arrival, the house was clean, cabinets were stocked with kitchen necessities, bathroom had plenty of towels & toiletries.... and the view was priceless. Our kids spent hours playing on the private dock, swimming in the wonderfully shallow water and using the numerous water toys from the shed. The multi-tiered patio was awesome for outdoor meals and our neighbors even provided a personal fireworks show on July 4th ;) Alicia was incredibly helpful with requests & recommendations. We loved the "little blue cottage" and hope to return next summer. Thanks Alicia!

very clean and cozy
My two adult daughters and I had a very relaxing off-season stay at Alicia's cozy cottage. She had many amenities and thought of every detail ( baskets of toiletries, supplies, snacks, even a sound machine in the bedroom!). We particularly appreciated the information binder on the Sunapee area. All the furnishings were new and updated and very comfortable. We cooked several meals and found the kitchen well-equipped. It was very chilly the first day we were there and found our favorite spot was on the sun porch with a nice electric heater. The large TV was great as well as the extensive board game selection. The very best part however, was the beautiful view overlooking the lake! If you are looking for a relaxing getaway, this cottage is the place to go!

Quiet & Cozy
There's nothing better than feeling welcome and comfortable the moment you enter a home and that's what Alicia and her Sunapee cottage did for me and my family.
As others have mentioned, there's no shortage of supplies at the ready (fresh towels, bottled water, hand soaps, etc.) - the little things that are too often overlooked when guests arrive - are thoughtfully available or noted where you'd expect to find them. The layout with two bed in a shared room upstairs made for great nights' sleep for our boys as did the very quiet neighborhood - only the sound of the wind blowing through the trees was ever present when we left for the day(s).
Having spent five winter nights at Alicia's lovely cottage, I can assure you that the forced hot air is more than up for any challenge. And, to that midwinter end, the location is prime for getting to the mountain on-time for ski lessons and lifts opening.
In short, it is the perfect size for a young family of four & we look forward to returning!
