About this property

Twins Rock Cottage was built in 1941 and we are the third owners. We purchased the house in 2019 and it has been recently winterized and modernized, has a new kitchen, new washer and dryer, all new bathrooms, new gas fireplace, a NEST heating system with five zones, wifi boosters and three flat screen TVs. All the linens are new, as are virtually all of the plates, glassware and kitchen accessories. In the warm summer months, each bedroom has an air conditioning unit. All that said, we have tried to keep the campy feeling of a New Hampshire lake house.

We looked at lake homes (for years) before deciding this was the one. We like that the cottage has both southern and western exposures, great sunsets, double the shore footage of most cottages, doesn’t have the wind that some homes experience in wider parts of the lake, is only 10 minutes away from the best supermarket in the area, has easy access to Route 89 for traveling to and from…we could go on.

The location is great. The house is perched on the lake and has a view from just about every room. It feels private, but is only 10 minutes away from Mount Sunapee for skiing and the town of New London - a quaint New England town with a great bookstore, amazing bakery, ice skating rink in the winter, summer theatre that puts on first-rate productions, year-round organic farm where you can stock up on produce and pick your own flowers, the best grocery store in the area and, of course, ice cream.

Quiet and relaxing

This cottage was very clean, had all the amenities and booking and access were very easy. No detail was overlooked and the location was perfect. It has privacy from the neighbors, is right on the water and has an amazing view. Highly recommend this spot to spend time with family or just have a relaxing getaway.

The Perfect Lake House

This was one of the most impressive properties we ever stayed at. The setting is just beautiful. The inside of the house is equally stunning. Lots of windows to look upon a picture-perfect lake. The trees were in fall colors, which just added to the experience. A lovely gas fireplace added to the ambience. The kitchen was well stocked, which allowed us to create great meals and eat on the outside deck. This is a place we would definitely come back again.

Beautiful Location, Great Accommodations

Everything about our vacation fantastic. Flawless from check in to check out. Liz was very attentive to any questions but there were few because she thought of everything and left a detailed book of information. The home had everything we needed, was very clean and the location on the water is great. We can’t say enough about our stay and plan to visit again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth Zea

We started coming to Lake Sunapee in 2007 and have returned pretty much every summer, as well as come up in the fall to see the color, and winter to ski. Over the years, we have rented different cottages on the lake, and stayed in local inns. In August of 2019, we bought this cottage.

Why they chose this property

We looked at lake homes (for years) before deciding this was the one. We like that the cottage has both southern and western exposures, double the shore footage of most cottages, doesn’t have the wind that some homes experience in wider parts of the lake, virtually every room has a lake view, is only 10 minutes away from New London and the best supermarket in the area, has easy access to Route 89 for traveling to and from…we could go on.

What makes this property unique

The location is great. The house is perched on the lake and has a view from just about every room. It feels private, but is only 10 minutes away from New London - a quaint New England town with a great bookstore, amazing bakery, summer theatre that puts on first-rate productions, organic farm where you can pick your own flowers and stock up on produce, the best grocery store in the area and, of course, ice cream.
