Great location, beautiful property. Plenty of room for the family birthday party that we had.
The low water pressure was a little frustrating but we made due.
Overall it was a great stay and we would come back again
We booked the place for seven people. Plenty of room. We were in town for my son’s wedding which was at the John Hayes estate which is a must see! Loved hanging out on the big back porch and the place was very centrally located.
Sunapee beach was really close as well. Great views and clean water at this beach!
We stayed here for a small CDC-Approved wedding and this house was great. Huge kitchen/dining/living area was perfect! Plenty of parking and excellent outdoor area.
We rented the house for the 4th of July weekend. The house was beautiful, clean and perfect for us. The owner, Michele, was kind and very helpful answering our questions and giving recommendations for things to do in the area. We enjoyed our stay very much!
Beautiful home, immaculate and well appointed. Everything one needs for an enjoyable vacation . Bedrooms and bathrooms on three levels gave everyone the privacy they needed especially with little ones. Outdoor space was great with several sitting areas and room for play. Highly recommend this property!
We had a family reunion in the area. This house was wonderful for my family to stay in. We enjoyed the open living room and the separate bedrooms were great for the kids to stay in. We enjoyed several fires outside at night and the giant chessboard was also a hit. Thank you for letting your property contribute to making good family memories.
This is our second stay at this property. It’s a great setup that works for our family and space is clean and updated. Plenty of space and amenities. Owner is quick to respond to any questions.
We had a large family gathering between this property and the sister property. This house is beautiful, the photos online really don’t do it justice. There was plenty of space for everyone and a beautiful porch and outdoor space for entertaining with a fire pit. Plenty of parking. Would definitely stay here again!
This house and outdoor living area is Beautiful!!! We had the most perfect family vacation week!
The kitchen was well stocked and the set up of the living area with the beautiful outdoor deck with all of its comfortable seating areas and the fire pit for gathering and making s’mores couldn’t have been more perfect!!! Thank you!!!
My family rented this house to stay the weekend of my sister’s wedding (in addition to the owner’s other property next door). The house was perfect- it has a rustic, upscale cabin vibe. The whole property is beautiful, especially since it was fall. It’s close to a lake and lots of hiking. There was lots of space for everyone to sleep and many places to gather inside and outside. The owner was flexible and 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!
Property was a great location to our daughters venue.
The property was great for the purpose we were there in NH but the property was not conducive to older adults. My daughter was getting married so we took her 83 year old grandmother along with an 82 year old cousin. There are no hand rails anywhere and the outside of the house was poorly lit and had an individual to fall on the outside rock step and hurt themselves because they could not see. The only outside light we could find was just the only light at the front door which does not light the rock steps area. We had another individual to trip on the steps from the main floor to the basement because of the difference in the landing step going down from the other steps. It was about 2 inches higher than the rest of the steps and misjudged. Please know while this is absolutely a wonderful property, it is not a good and safe environment for individuals who have problems with walking.
House was clean, comfortable, and spacious. Highlights included the deck, the fire pit, and spacious kitchen and living room. Michele was responsive and helpful. An excellent experience!
I had my family of 9 people staying in this house. It was very spacious and accommodating. The owners were helpful with check in and any issues we had. Loved the patio and fireplace.
This property was perfect for our family. Plenty of room, nice big kitchen and open feel, and the location was perfect for visiting with our other family in Blodgett’s landing. Lots of great amenities: Beautiful wrap around porch, grill, fire pit, and life size chess board. The surrounding areas were quiet. We were in touch with Michele during the trip who was super responsive to any questions we had. We look forward to our next booking here!
So much space to sprawl out so clean and kitchen fully equipped for any meal type. Beds comfortable and the bottom level will be perfect when fully finished! 10 minutes from Sunapee harbor and lake and mountain area
We were here for a family reunion so we were not at the house much which we wish we had more time to enjoy all that this great home has to offer. Highly recommend this home and hope we can return. Thank you Michele
Staying here was great. The rooms were comfortable, there was plenty of room, and any questions I had were answered right away. I held my 30th birthday party here. The only downside is that it wasn't clear what all of the house rules were on the vrbo posting and if vrbo had made me do a security deposit, i would have been charged extra for cleaning. I had confetti balloons, and did not separate cans from trash. That's the only thing I'd watch out for.
Immediately upon entering , we decided that the pictures did not do the unit justice. The woodwork details are stunning! Some very gifted craftspeople built this gorgeous property.
Well equipped and very clean, the unit was furnished upscale, quiet and in a peaceful setting.
Outside was as impressive as inside. Obviously much thought went into the landscaping and recreational areas.
We would highly recommend.
Great place for a family vacation. Plenty of space for 8 of us to play games, enjoy a meal and hang together. Lovely outdoor sitting areas.
Kitchen had everything we needed! Sleeping areas were comfortable.
Only negative was construction noise.
Lovely large but cozy house, beautifully maintained.
We enjoyed our stay. We wish there was cable tv, a hair dryer and regular coffee maker but those are our suggestions. The only negative we had was that the grates on the gas grill had not been cleaned in what appeared to be a very long time. The house is impeccably maintained as are the grounds.
The property is located at ideal location (drivable distance to Flume Gorge, Boston Airport and Maine beaches). The local quaint neighborhood was pictureseq

About the host
Hosted by Michele Lucey
Our family built this home with quality and comfort in mind. The kitchen and all of the beautiful woodwork is a gift from the patriarch of the Lucey family, Papa. Papa spent his career making high precision machine patterns out of wood and he makes beautiful furniture and cabinetry, he is also the mastermind behind the two story fieldstone fireplace. The property is owned by KLMS LLC, which stands for Kevin, Loranna, Scot, and Michele. Kevin and Scot are brothers and have learned a ton from their Dad. Scot and Michele moved to Lake Sunapee in 1994 and have truly been blessed to be able to live and raise their family here.
Why they chose this property
Great location accessble to everythink the area has to offer while offering privacy in a wooded setting. If you are having a larger group we have the sister property that share a boundary with the Mountaineer.
What makes this property unique
Modern amenities with all of the country charm you can handle. Three full baths, one on each floor.
