Great stay at Sunapee Lake!

We had a great time paddling and swimming during a hot week in NH. Cabin was comfortable and had everything we needed. The location allowed us to explore a variety of places in NH and even a quick trip to Vermont.

A lovely nest.

My husband and I really enjoyed the lake views from everywhere, lakefront, deck, living room and kitchen; peaceful but also enjoyed watching the boats, feeding the ducks, listening to the loons and going for a daily kayak trip along the shoreline. Loved it.

A Beautiful Lake Vacation in a very simple house

We loved the views, the lake, swimming, kayaking and hiking and walking trails nearby. The house is VERY small, there are very steep narrow stairs to the bedrooms, which are tiny with slanted roofs that make it hard to walk around. The kitchen is well-equipped, but there is no light over the table. The living room furniture is not that comfortable and it is dark. The outdoor furniture is not that comfortable either. So even though it is a well equipped house, it is a little more like staying in a cabin. Still, the hosts were nice and accommodating and the the setting and beach and boats were delightful.

Acorn Retreat 7/15-7/22

We both enjoyed our week at Acorn Retreat. We liked the location, a short distance from great restaurants in New London and then very close to great ice cream at Bubba's! The Sunapee Lake tour is advised to learn more about the area and the neat characteristics of the region. We traveled to Polar Caves and Boston as part of our week at Acorn Retreat. It's convenient and was just the right size for this vacation this year.

Sweet Cottage!

We have been coming here here for several summers. Just a wonderful little cottage. The lake is right in the backyard! Loons call out every night. I always enjoy my coffee on the deck overlooking the water. The owners live nearby but are very respectful of your privacy. We plan on coming again.

Lake Sunapee

Overall the experience was good, the access to the water was great, the cottage was quaint, cute and the deck was great for meals, reading and just relaxing. The full bed is very small and not comfortable, the property is not private as listed as the neighbors who own property next to the cottage came and went as they pleased to use the dock and boat that the cottage does not have access to, also there was driveway work scheduled for the week we were there which should have been done when there are not renters at the property.

Nice, but some concerns

Harriet, the owner, greeted us warmly upon arrival. The cabin is cozy and clean, many would call it "quaint" and others might say it's "rustic." I feel there needs to be a bit more disclosure of certain on-site conditions that aren't revealed in the listing. While there is "waterfront," it is a very narrow swath of land squeezed in between two docks which are "off-limits." The lake bottom is sandy but the frontage is rocky. Fortunately, there are stairs to help navigate your way into the water from the land. While the impression from the photos is that the cabin is situated by the water, there is about a 50-yard sloping path down to the water. There is also a pedestrian easement that cuts across that slope, so there's lots of foot traffic between the cabin and the water by busy and boisterous (and friendly!) neighbors. All these are manageable constraints, but it would have been good to know in advance. More important is the issue of accessibility. Anyone with ANY mobility issues would be severely challenged by the stairs to the second floor bedrooms. They are tricky if not treacherous. particularly if you need to navigate them at night to access the one (downstairs) bathroom in the cabin. Between those stairs and the slope between the cabin and the lake, older folks and those with any mobility issues/limitations would do well to find other accommodations. On the bright side, I caught a chunky smallmouth bass right off the shore!

The listing description is accurate. The property has incredible direct water access for kayaks and paddle boards in order to enjoy what Lake Sunapee has to offer. The cottage is nothing fancy. It has the needed necessities for your stay. My wife and 3 kids loved our week long stay

Our Stay at the Acorn Retreat

This is a very cute property with nice waterfront sandy beach and view of the backside of Mt. Sunapee across the lake. Our landlords were very helpful with any questions or needs that we had and made us feel very welcome. The cottage has a wonderful view of the lake, and although small, it is very adequate. The beds are comfortable. The deck offers more lake views and has shade and sun. The fire pit and bench near the waterfront offer great late day activity. Thanks for a lovely stay at Acorn Retreat.

Rustic Cottage

Very rustic but nice and comfortable. Beds and pullout sofa was fine. Complete set of new knives. Beautiful view from outside deck. Water frontage maybe 20-25 feet. We moored 2 Sea Doos in the space. No dock. Owners live next door. Upon arrival Saturday we found the refrigerator was not staying cold. The owners came and the next day we had a different one. We had coolers so it wasn’t a huge inconvenience. Shower was nice with great water pressure. Owners were very pleasant to us. We would stay there again.

Fabulous Way to Enjoy Sunapee

Just finished a very enjoyable week, with the family, at this cozy lakefront cottage. It is sparkling clean and has everything you need to enjoy yourself on the lake. This part of New Hampshire is not only beautiful and authentic, but remains unspoiled by large crowds, chain restaurants and the like. So refreshing to visit a Deli and meet the proud owner, something you won't get at Panera. Excellent value in this property and the managers are warm, friendly and helpful. Many Thanks!
