The Tahoe was the perfect place for our 4th of July family and friends gathering. Its great room was the best spot to watch the storms roll in, the sunrise and sunset and just the trees and birds in general.

Awesome weekend rental

The Tahoe is everything we could have wanted for a weekend getaway with friends. Large, clean and comfortable, it has plenty of space to relax both inside and out. Michelle is super friendly and courteous, and even supplied us with extra firewood. Will definitely be looking up this listing next time I plan to be in the area.

We had a lovely stay at this home and the sister property with plenty of space for everyone. The home was beautifully built and very clean. Check in and check out we’re very easy, communication with the host was very quick and easy. We ended up adding an additional night at the beginning of our stay without any issue. Nice outdoor space for entertaining. Would love to stay here again!

Lodge in the Woods

This is a great property! You just get this relaxed feeling wash over you from the design of this building being so well integrated into the surrounding woodlands. No matter where you are in the house you feel connected to the outdoors - Peaceful, quiet & calming. What a wonderful place to stay while we celebrated our son's wedding. Plus the kitchen / LR level bedroom, bath & entranceway was perfect for our elderly mother.

Beautiful home in a great central location… Close to everything. The house had everything you could ever possibly want for a comfortable stay. We had 6 teenagers and 4 adult adults and were extremely comfortable with plenty of space. Hosts were lovely and gracious and check in was easy. Enjoyed some time on lake Sunapee, pontoon boat, fishing, adventure park at Mount Sunapee, several walks and hikes, blueberry picking, walking around Sunapee Harbor, and even a quick drive to Lake Winnipesaukee. Enjoyed the beautiful backyard with fire pit and hot tub. Also loved sitting out on the deck and playing cards or chess and just enjoying time together. Definitely a comfortable and tranquil place to spend quality family time. Highly recommend!

Enjoyed the stay. Would recommend it states how many people the hot tub is for. I believe it’s a 2 person hot tub. Michele was very responsive to all questions/concerns. If you like being in the woods and a nice clean home, this is the place to try.

Thank you so much for taking the time to post a review. The hot tub is specified as a 4 person tub. That being said, it can be a bit tight with 4 adults. I will update the listing so it is clear.

Perfect Wedding Weekend

My sister’s wedding party spent the weekend at this house and then hosted the wedding in the backyard. My family also rented the house next door from the same owner. The house was perfect- it has a rustic, upscale cabin vibe. The whole property is beautiful. There was lots of space for everyone to sleep and many places to gather inside and outside. A 20x20 tent fit nicely in the yard and there was plenty of parking. The owner was wonderful and flexible- she let us visit the property ahead of time and check in early so we could receive the tent delivery. She was also very responsive to messages. Google maps directed us a little bit too far down the road so I would rely on the owner’s directions and look at the house numbers once you’re on 103a. We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to return!

Big family get together

We rented both of Michelle‘s houses for our annual family get together. It’s a group of 17 ages 81 to 2 years old. The houses were both beautiful well stocked clean and spacious. Everyone had a room to themselves and the outside area was wonderful. Both houses have unique outside fire pits and the hot tub was the bonus. We will definitely return.

Great Location for large family

Enjoyed our time at the Tahoe house. Lake Sunapee state park was very close and easy to get to. The pictures need to be updated, though, on the VRBO site. There is no longer a day bed on the 3rd floor. There were little bugs in the bathroom, but I think it was humid when we got there, which attracted them. Hot Tub is a plus. Overall great stay.

About the host

Hosted by Michele Lucey

Host profile image
We have lived in Newbury for over 20 years and built this property as a family affair with our extended family in Southern New Hampshire and Connecticut. We have raised our family here and it has become a favorite vacation destination for our friends and family. We are local and manage the property ourselves.

Why they chose this property

This property offers a prime location for access to all that the Sunapee area has to offer. The house is in a quiet secluded wooded area yet minutes from Sunapee State Park, Colby Sawyer College, area restaurants, and other local attractions. The house offers three levels of open space to accommodate your party and has bedrooms and bathrooms on each level.

What makes this property unique

Privacy with great outdoor space to enjoy summer evenings by the field stone fireplace or fire pit. The house has a large story fieldstone fireplace and huge windows to bring the outdoors in. Guests have held small weddings and wedding events at the house, opting to use it as a venue once they have seen it. The area is hugely popular for hiking, mountain biking, as well as road biking. The house has no direct access to Lake Sunapee but there are local beaches within just a few minutes to swim or launch a kayak. There is also terrific fishing at Otter Pond, Warner River, and Sugar River, all nearby. Hiking up Mount Sunapee to Lake Solitude is a moderately challenging hike and with beautiful views of Lake Sunapee and beyond well worth the trip.
