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

Perfect location on the lake. We had an isdue when we furst arrived that the owners took care of the next morning. The house had everything we needed. You can't get better sunsets anywhere. The water level of the lake was slow because of the dry Summer but we were able to successfully navigate the 8 miles from North to South with no issues. The sandbar was beautiful and we were the only boat there. Totally relaxing vacation for us. Blue Canoeis a great spot for dinner right on the water.

This house has a very well supplied kitchen - plenty of plates, mugs, silverware, pots and pans. The large deck and stone patio were great for dinners and fire pit! Sunapee is a lovely lake and there is a wonderful public beach (5/person) a short car ride away. We loved that there were several kayaks and paddle boards - the only downside is that water access is challenging. You have to carry the kayak/paddle board down several steps and there isn't a launch, so you have to get it from the dock several feet down into the water. Also no shore access to the lake - the only way in is from the dock down the ladder. There is a nice floating dock to swim out to! We had a fantastic week with family and would love to come back!

This property is well appointed, cheerful and nicely located on the lake. My wife and I and another couple enjoyed the lake atmosphere with kayaking, sightseeing and shopping. Thanks to the owners for providing our perfect getaway.

We LOVED this place! The house was stocked with all of the essentials, including towels and linens. This made traveling there easier. The swimming area was great too!

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.)
