It was a really lovely home, and was perfect for us, as we were visiting for a wedding.

Our group of 5 really enjoyed ourselves. The house could have easily accommodated double that amount of people. The property is secluded, but not far from several of the lake beaches. Property owner was super responsive. Beds were comfortable. We rented kayaks and paddle boats, and swam daily. We'd rent again!

Beautiful location

The hosts were super easy to deal with, the layout of the house allows for everyone to have a bit of space after our long days at a local outdoor event. Can’t wait to come back next year!!

Great communication and willing to work with guests.

Very clean and nice property. Lots of room for two families to stay together. The pool/ community center at South Cove was very nice and accessible. Was further from Mt Sunapee (around 30 minutes) than I was expecting but still a good place to stay for a weekend getaway.

We are a group of graduate students who work in a lab together and came up to NH for the weekend. Great house that fit our large group for a reasonable price. Open kitchen made cooking for a large group very comfortable.

We stayed for a long weekend of skiing at Ragged Mtn. There were 4 adults and 4 kids (15-10 years old). The home was very clean and spacious! We all had plenty of space to spread out when needed, or snuggle up on the couches in front of the fire. Jim was very responsive to all my questions and very helpful! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

This was a great time for a large family to get away. 15 mins from Mount sunapee. The kids had fun utilizing the activities in the community-skating and sledding. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet family getaway. Jim was very welcoming called before check in and after check out to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. Jim also was very helpful listing local activities and attractions before our stay.

Jim saved our family trip after our original rental cancelled less than a week before we were due to check in. We were headed to Vermont for our daughter’s Family Weekend at college. I couldn’t find anything close to Northfield, VT and was in a panic. I searched southern Vermont and Jim’s home popped up. I quickly reserved it and within minutes Jim confirmed it. Jim was very responsive anytime I had a question and I can’t thank him enough!

The property fit our needs with multiple couples getting together for a retirement party in the development. Great access to Lake Sunapee and New London from the house. Owner was easy to work with and very communicative on our needs.

This property worked out for us for a family reunion over a two week period, but was complicated by the fact that the head count varied over the rental period. The property was clean and the kitchen was adequately equipped. The television service and WiFi connection were excellent. The owner, was readily accessible and was also very cooperative about refunding per-person fees to adjust for variable daily occupancy above the minimum of 5. I would agree with a prior reviewer that the house is a bit tired. Regarding occupancy: while the owner will allow 14 people, the actual sleeping accommodations are for only 11. We suggest that before booking you read the owner’s expanded description. Dining for more than 6 or 8 is problematic, as the only dining table had 6 chairs, with 2 additional chairs that could be squeezed in around the table. Members of any group beyond 8 would need to eat buffet-style on the living room couches or on the outside, very small deck (in good weather). Another important thing a future renter needs to understand is the price structure, which is not as straight forward as could be hoped for. For instance, while the base rate included 5 occupants for the entire period regardless of actual occupancy below 5, we listed 7 persons on the VRBO site at booking and were charged an additional $420 host fee for those 2 persons. When we got close to our rental period we found that more family members could come and for a few nights we had as many as 11, causing an extra charge for those days of $180. The owner states that it is recommended that the renter put in the maximum head count for the entire stay (14 max) generating a host fee of $15 per person times the number of rental days for all persons greater than 5. Renters could then request a refund from the owner to adjust on a per-day basis for occupancies lower than that initial estimate. It would be optimal to be able to accurately predict occupancy at the time of booking to avoid this complication. Frankly, as renters and as vacation property landlords ourselves, we are accustomed to the base price constituting the entire cost for any number of occupants up to the limit the owner sets upon the property and were surprised by the additional host fees, which also included a $100 property fee for some reason. In order not to be surprised, prospective renters should examine the details of the host fees on the drop-down and contact the owner with any questions.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The location was great and the Eastman community was beautiful and facilities easy to use. The house easily accommodated our large groups' needs; the amenities of the house were an added bonus. Generally speaking, the house was clean, but much of the furniture was dated and stained and well used. The kitchen was not as clean as it could have been, but usable with some light cleaning. Great place!

This place was perfect for my family weekend! We had a group of 12 members ranging from age 1-66. And EVERYONE enjoyed themselves thoroughly. From these gorgeous photos I thought the lake and activity center were walking distance; good thing we reached out to Jim (which is awesome host, BTW); he suggested since we had kiddies to go to the larger beach since its better for the kiddos and family! It definitely was; we even tried some kayaking and peddle boating! Great experience; wished we stayed longer!! I will definitely be booking for a longer stay for next summer! Thanks Jim!! Oh and also, it’s just under 2hrs from Boston. 👍🏽

The home was a little more rustic than we were expecting and was in need of an uplift. It had a wonderful fireplace which we enjoyed and the owner was very responsive.

We had a very nice time, relaxing time with friends. We wished that the check out was little but later especially with doing the laundry from all 5 bedrooms. We brought our own sheets so we wouldn’t have to get up at crack of dawn to do the laundry. Community center was nice, only pool opened with limitations due to COVID-19. The staff there wasn’t really organized, didn’t know the rules and regulations about pool use., kids were disappointed that they couldn’t go swimming.,

Two families with 12 people total had plenty of room. The lake/community is beautiful. Jim called to go over everything with the house and was easy to communicate with. We had a great time!
