"We liked our welcome when we arrived approximately 3:30 pm. The front desk person offered us an upgrade to have a jacuzzi, but we refused. We only wanted the room we booked with a couch. The room was very spacious and on the first floor, which is important to us, even though we didn’t request it. The front desk person gave us a list of area restaurants. When asked she told us about the Sumer House on the third page. We looked all the restaurants over and decided to take her recommendation. Our experience was excellent!"

"House was beyond beautiful, fit our family of 24 perfectly. We were nervous about having a caretaker on the property seeing as we have a lot of loud children but she was wonderful, and helpful. Lake sunapee state beach is a very easy drive and beautiful lake to go to, only thing that was misleading was the 11 minute walk to the beach- unless we missed it, was not accurate. Overall the house and yard was amazing- caretaker super helpful and nice would 110% return. Only caution if you had a large party would be bring Tupperware and plastic utensils & cups."
