About this property

Happy Place On Lake Sunapee - 10 minutes from the ski resort

Situated on the east side of the lake, this four-season home provides majestic views of the sunsets and sun exposure most of the day - creating a perfect all-season getaway. We get beautiful, southwest breeze off the lake. The house is conveniently located only 10 minutes away from the Mt Sunapee ski resort.

The main floor encompasses a cozy family room and dinning room which is adjacent to a fully renovated kitchen with brand new appliances. Spacious deck with amazing lake view is accessible from the family room by large sliding doors. Additionally, there is a bathroom and a laundry room on the first floor.
The upstairs has four bedrooms--two with full views of the lake (king and queen size beds). The third bedroom has 2 full size beds and the forth one is a "kids room" with 2 bunk beds and a trundle twin. There is another bathroom on the second floor.
Comfortably sleeps 6 adults and 7 kids, additional 2 pull out couches in family room accommodate up to 4 extra people.

Enjoy the peaceful solitude of the lake while only a quick drive from Mt. Sunapee - less than 10 minutes. Kids want to water ski or go tubing? Bring your boat (or rent) and use our dock! Perfect place to go kayaking - we have 2 kayaks available for our guests. Kids want to hike a mountain or go zip lining in the summer? Bring them to beautiful adventure park at Mount Sunapee. If theater interests you, go take in a play at the well known New London Playhouse. Or make reservations and tour the lake on a huge boat. Or simply chill out, do nothing and be on lake time!

Lake Sunapee is one of the largest, cleanest and most beautiful lakes in New Hampshire. We are about 5 miles from New London with shopping, restaurants, grocery stores, and 25 minutes from Hanover NH (Dartmouth) with its shopping, restaurants, etc. Other nearby activities include great hiking trails, antiquing, water skiing, fishing, snowmobiling, public tennis courts, and cross country skiing. Have a restful and fun 2019 vacation!

Sunapee tradition
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.

lovely vacation
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!

Fourth time back - just as great as the first
Annual gathering of high school friends now in their 50s never disappoints with this fantastic property. Great location and beautiful views!

Feels Like Home with a Gorgeous View
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.)

While looking for a vacation home we found this perfect cozy house on Lake Sunapee. We looked here because we ski but we are realizing now, we have been missing the best season here on Lake Sunapee. After 4 months of renovations in the spring of 2015, we are ready to share our happy place with other people. Our hope is that you will appreciate it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location!!! Breathtaking views of the sunset from the large comfortable deck and proximity to the Mt Sunapee ski area make this property a real gem. Completely renovated in May 2015, it is a cozy, inviting and comfortable place to spend a laid back family vacation any time during the year.
