Newbury, New Hampshire
Another year gone by and another opportunity for relaxing weeks, away from hustle and bustle of traffic jams and crowded malls. This vacation spot in Newbury, heart of the Lake Sunapee area, is close enough to make life easy and far enough away from the crowds to enjoy nature, awesome views and quiet nights. An ideal getaway for everyone who loves the outdoors, five private wooded acres are yours to explore or take in the scenery from the huge main floor deck. In clear weather you can see for 20 miles over a 180-degree vista. Watch the morning fog rise from the valley floor, marvel at the changes in weather or watch hawks as they ride the thermals over the trees. Bike scenic local roads or hike in Newbury’s John Hay National Wildlife Refuge at The Fells. Dive into Lake Sunapee at two nearby public beaches (8 and 12 minutes away). If you love boating, charter cruises and boat/kayak/SUP board rentals are minutes away in Newbury Harbor. Boat owners are welcome to trailer their boat -power boats are welcome on Lake Sunapee- and launch at the public docks in Newbury Harbor or Mt. Sunapee State Park. The mountain’s Adventure Park is open all summer long with zip lining, aerial challenge course, bike park, mini-golf and much more.
After your day outside, relax in a beautiful new home where no detail is overlooked to ensure your comfort and enjoyment: master bedroom suite has a glass steam shower with music, vaulted living room has generous seating and 60” HD TV with surround sound, Wii console, DirecTV satellite, Netflix and Pandora services. Upstairs are two bedrooms and one full bath; on the main floor are the master bath, master bedroom with private deck, living room and enormous eat in kitchen – dining room. Owners love to cook and entertain so the kitchen is fully equipped for fun. Decks have seating for 10 and rolling bar cart; binoculars and star maps maximize your enjoyment of the views. The basement boasts a Foosball table, air hockey table and a sitting area with a 40 inch TV connected to DirectTV, as well as the same wonderful panoramic view of New Hampshire.

We really enjoyed our stay in New Hampshire for the month of October 2023. The house was great. The garage was available for our use and had plenty of room for our car. The garage had a door that accessed the basement level. The view from the back patio was beautiful. There was a nice screened porch on the balcony that kept the insects away. All the appliances worked well. The kitchen area is quite large with nice finishes and appliances. There was a good-sized smart TV in the living area. Cable was available but we also brought our own firestick to access our online subscriptions. This was a working vacation for my husband. The internet was okay and adequate for our use. The master bedroom is on the main level and has its own balcony. The queen bed is comfortable. The master bath is attached and has a large walk-in shower. There was a large (not walk in) closet in the master bedroom and a large dresser. There is a second half bathroom on the main level accessed off the hallway. The other bedrooms and a second full bathroom are on the second level. The washer and dryer were in a separate laundry room in the basement level. The owner’s communication was prompt and complete. We would rent this property again if we return to the area.
You wont be disappointed! This is a clean beautiful home with great views!
Of all the VRBO's we have rented this house is by far the best! Well appointed, spacious, comfortable, super clean with everything you need. Mark even provides binoculars which you will surely want to use to look out over the valley and mountains. But even without the binoculars the view is fantastic. We lived on the back deck to take in the fall color change in the valley. Lake Sunapee and miles of hiking trails are only minutes away. Communication with Mark was super easy and check in was a breeze. This place felt like a second home us, and we would love to return in the future. We highly recommend this place to anyone.
We call this oasis “home” for good reason. Spacious and comfortable, this lovely property has everything needed for an enjoyable stay. The well equipped kitchen with its Edison lights and granite island will wow you. The game room will satisfy your competitive spirit. You will find Arts and Crafts furniture throughout the home and will relish relaxing on couches and chairs in the sun drenched great room. But the screened dining room and expansive deck will keep you coming back for more. Scintillating sunrises and sunsets make this property live in your memory and beckon you, year after year.
Thoroughly enjoyed our week at Mark's house soaking up the awesome mountain views and wowed by the sunrises! The house is well equipped and comfortable with everything you need for your stay. From the living room to the finished lower level with foosball and air hockey you can truly feel at home. We located a basket of information on local attractions and walking/hiking trails which was a plus! We recommend the Foot Trails of New London if you don't want to venture too far. The fully equipped kitchen includes all the barbeque essentials and a good selection of cookware, dishes and utensils was a nice plus! We spent our days hiking and enjoying Lake and Mt. Sunapee as well as a nice visit to Sunapee Harbor and a Lake Cruise. Evenings were spent on the expansive deck with a glass of wine drinking in the endless mosaic of stars! Mark was responsive to any requests or questions we had and even provided detailed last minute information about the house to help make your arrival and check-in less hectic. Kudos to Marks' cleaning crew! We have rented a good amount of VRBO properties and this was hands down the cleanest one we ever checked into! Andy K
We have stayed in many VRBO properties, and this was one of the very best. The house is expertly equipped with renters in mind. Communication with the owner was A+. The views from the deck make this property special. It's a short drive to Lake Sunapee and the mountain with shopping in New London just 25 min away. We have already planned a return visit next summer!
All I can say is WOW, the view from the back deck is incredible! We spent so much time out there having coffee in the morning, grilling at night and just enjoying the view. The house is very nice inside and out and had everything we needed, we had a great time!
The house is a haven from the daily grind and has everything needed no matter the season. We had the great luck to be in the midst of the foliage changing and the incredible views were a highlight as usual. Mark is a great host and incredibly responsive. We look forward to staying again!
The house and views were amazing! We loved the soaring ceilings, large rooms, fire pit on the deck, wood-burning stove in the LR, and the huge deck with amazing views. Everything was pretty perfect. The only slightly annoying thing is that you have to wash, dry, fold, and put away all the linens before checkout, which is on the earlier side (10am). You also have to take your garbage and recycling to the transfer station, which is closed on Thursday/Fri. We did an early drop on Wednesday and then the owner was nice enough to allow us to leave what we made from then until we checked out Fri morning. That was a nice accommodation, but on balance it would be much better/less work and less stressful (IMO), if you didn’t have to get rid of the garbage and wash all the sheets and towels before departure. That said, we’d stay there again because the place is so awesome.
Beautiful house, beautiful location! All of the 5-star reviews are right! I especially appreciate the very well-equipped kitchen including cooking basics. The house is nicely furnished with everything you might need. Great hiking nearby (Sunset Hill, Eagles Nest, Clark’s Outlook). And Mark was a great host, quick to respond to every question. A note, there are a few miles of unpaved roads to get to the house.
