We spent a long weekend in early March - home not equipped with essentials- no dish washing liquid, no soap in bathroom, no wine opener, no mixing bowls, no paper towels, no batteries in TV remotes - etc! This home is in a rural location - great for skiing- but 10 miles to grocery store - we came to ski not drive to constantly get the basics. The biggest problem wasn’t discovered until the Monday morning we checked out - trash was suppose to be carried to town dump which is closed on Monday!!!! Never before have I stayed at a VBRO home where I was responsible for garbage.

Lovely views, very nice interior, needs updating outside, air conditioning would be great.

Our second visit to this property and it has improved with some nice updates. My family always has a great time at lake sunapee and a day on the mountain is a nice diversion. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

We had a really wonderful 2-week vacation at 'Happy Place'. The owners were very responsive and nice, and the location couldn't be better--right on big Lake Sunapee, with a dock to fish from and a floating dock that the kids spent most evenings on. The house has lots of lake equipment, including paddleboards and kayaks, and our friend was able to dock his boat for several nights. The fireplace patio is beautiful and delightful for evenings with cookouts and s'mores. The beds are very comfortable and there are lots of towels and comfy blankets and couches. There are neighbors very close by on three sides of the house but they were pleasant and only had parties on weekend nights. The kitchen is decent but not well set up to prepare meals for a large group and the house overall was a little bit tight for nine people (5 adults and 4 teenage children). There were plenty of beds but not a lot of extra space to spread out in, but that wouldn’t be an issue for a shorter stay. Overall, this house is an excellent choice and very good value for a family vacation on one of the most beautiful lakes in the world!

Annual gathering of high school friends now in their 50s never disappoints with this fantastic property. Great location and beautiful views!

This is a very comfortable home with plenty of spaces indoor and out for our family to spread out and relax. All six were comfortably seated in the living room to watch a game, around the dinner for table for meals or piecing together a puzzle, and even maneuvering in the kitchen. We had no need to even touch the bunk bed room which could have slept 4 teens. The location is quiet and fabulously located right on the lake with its own dock and multi-levels of gathering and relaxing. The only thing that could have been more perfect was if hiking trails were accessible from the property, yet there are many beautiful trails less than a mile away. Highly recommend the Hay Estate and Mount Sunapee where there is abundant parking and well-marked trails. For the gourmet chef, there are plenty of pots, pans and flatware, but not an abundance of larger utensils such as serving spoons, mixing bowls, liquid measuring cups, storage containers for leftovers, etc. The washer and dryer are large and easy to use. There were plenty of bath and hand towels but you'll need to bring your own washcloths if you use them. We purchased a few kitchen cloths from the grocery store and left them behind. Overall, a fantastic experience for our first VRBO stay. The entire family had an amazing time. Highly recommend this property!!! P.S. We also appreciated being able to bring our dog. He absolutely loved it! (Just don't use the Pine Hill property marked Private as they don't appreciate intruders.)

Lovely property with gorgeous water views. Quiet neighborhood and the property was just as described. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Beautiful sunset views on Lake Sunapee. four bedrooms so, lots of room in the house. Lots of water toys-kayaks, canoe, paddleboards. The deck was the best spot especially with the dog as there is a gate to keep them in. Got to meet and play with Walter, the neighbor dog. Refrigerator died when we were there. Things happen-not the owners fault. They were very good at taking care of it and getting a new one in as soon as they could. Would definitely recommend this house/property
