A perfect spot to relax!
Our stay here was wonderful! The property is gorgeous, so much space to spread out for our yearly family vacation (32 of us!). The kitchen is amazing!! You’ll have anything and everything you would need to cook. The pool was great for the kids, the deck outside overlooking the pond is a great spot to relax with a drink and snacks. Communication with the owner was quick and easy, it was clean and really had everything we needed to enjoy hanging with our family. Highly recommend!!

Family Vacation
There were 22 of us ranging from 18 months to 75 years old. We have a large family with 6 children and 7 grandchildren along with partnersThe kitchen was amazing for us as we cooked all our own meals - the stove and ovens were spacious, the center island for prep and to serve from worked great. Having a large dining room where we could sit together for our meals was perfect for us.The rooms were all nicely decorated with comfortable beds and many en suite bathrooms which were appreciated especially by those who wanted more privacy.Having multiple, comfortable sitting areas worked well as the family was able to break into smaller groupings for conversations without everybody being on top of everyone else. The big game room was great for us as we are big game players and we were able to close the doors to it so that the toddlers could play safely while parents and others were competing in scrabble or monopoly. The choice of games was appreciated. The ping pong table, pool table, and the basketball game in the pool wing were all well used. Everyone enjoyed the sauna. The only complaint was the pool temperature and the temperature in the pool area. It was too cold for the toddlers to swim and most of the adults weren't able to stay in for long, if they even went in. We are a family who all love swimming so this was disappointing.

Our Staff Retreat
It is large enough that small groups could gather in areas with large areas big enough for all of us to eat together or cook together. The kitchen is spacious with large refrigerators, a grill, a large stovetop and plenty of countertops. The kids loved the indoor pool in winter. The landlord was very helpful and answered my questions quickly.

Wonderful stay
Our family rented this house to celebrate the holidays, and it was absolutely perfect for our multi-generational group! There was more than enough space for everyone, with plenty of bedrooms and a thoughtful layout that worked wonderfully for each family.The kids were thrilled with the pool and game room, which kept them entertained for hours. Meanwhile, the spacious living room and kitchen were perfect gathering spots for everyone. The kitchen, in particular, was a standout—its size and functionality made cooking for our large group easy and enjoyable.Overall, this house exceeded our expectations and made our holiday celebration truly memorable. Comminication with the owner was prompt and he went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and effortless We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a spacious, well-equipped home for a large group getaway!

Friends getaway
This place is great for large groups. So many different rooms to socialize and not feel overwhelmed. The kitchen has everything you could possible need (just bring extra paper towels, garbage bags etc, if you are there for a longer stay). It’s seems that there are some electrical issues with the home but nothing that disrupted our stay & the caretaker did their best to rectify the issue. Bathrooms never ran out of hot water which is always a worry for large homes so that was great! There are lots of fireplaces but only the wood burning one seemed to be functional & wish the pool was a little warmer. Overall a great stay & would recommend!

It's our second time staying with our extended family. Plenty of space and the kitchen dining room work perfectly for our large group. Hiked Ragged and Kearsarge, and biked the rail trail which is just at the bottom of the hill. Communication with host was easy and quick. The grounds keeper was attentive when the area lost power one night. Excellent stay!

With a group of 20, there are many times where you cannot even find anyone amongst the various spaces, which are all unique.The bedrooms were spacious, the house was clean, and in an excellent location to both Mount Sunapee and the more local Ragged Mtn. I've been booking annual vacation homes for over 10 years and this one is one of the best yet.

Best Year Yet!
Every year our group gets together for what we call a “Christmas Miracle Trip.” We are a large group with several different families and children ranging from 2-10. It’s chaotic and wonderful- we do puzzles, play games, exchange gifts and cook lots of food. We have stayed a different rental for the last 9 years. This property was such a hit! Here’s what we loved:
The kitchen- best one yet. Plenty of space (so much counter space!), tons of fridge and freezer room, an ice machine (!!), and the little side nook was very convenient for the littlest one to eat so parents could keep an eye on them while cooking.
The rooms were clean, comfortable, the bedding cozy, and there were no noise complaints as each hallway had a door which helped keep napping babies happy.
The games were great for the kids, the fireplace room downstairs was super cozy and the property just beautiful. It snowed while we were there and it was so magical. There is charm and beauty everywhere. A delight! Thank you!
Also, based on previous reviews we did bring extra toilet paper, paper towels and garbage bags which did come in handy. The chlorine in the pool is strong but the kids loved it anyway!

Perfect for a large group
We had the most amazing weekend at the Mountain Inn. The host Eric was super helpful and easy to work with; we had a couple questions and he answered immediately.
Our group ranged from 2yo to 70yo and this house had space the suited everyone’s needs. The adults could gather in one of the two living rooms upstairs while the kids played in the game room or TV room. The house was immaculate and the bedrooms were cozy and comfortable.
The kitchen had great appliances that all worked and there was plenty of dish-ware, silverware, pots and pans and cooking utensils.
The pool area was the kids favorite, that water is a little chilly so none of the parents braved the cold but the kids played for hours.
The outside space is incredible. Amazing fire-pit and the kids loved exploring and running around.
We can’t wait to book again!

Didn’t meet expectations
I was in charge of planning a family reunion for 28 and was disappointed with the condition of the property and “preparedness” for guests.
Two bedrooms were locked. I had to go around plugging in lamps and changing dead light bulbs. We had children with us who enjoyed the pool but there was black mold on pool side cushions so we only used a portion of the deck space. The hot water is dangerously hot. Most bathroom soap dispensers were empty and extra toilette paper was not provided, nor were there enough towels in the bathrooms and no dryer available to dry pool towels. The dumpster was overflowing when we arrived. There is a fire pit but bring your own wood; paper products, cleaning supplies, Tupperware, large garbage bags, towels, cellophane, clean sponges, dish washing fluid and dish towels (unless you don’t mind using rags.)
The owners need to be very clear to guests what they need to bring.
Our previous large reunion homes were much more generous with cleaning supplies, hygiene and paper products. It made it much easier for all of us flying in or driving. I realize the home is old and expected sticky door jams, uneven floors and dark rooms in a portion of the home but not in the additions.
One of the first things I saw was a faded, ripped American flag hanging by the door - I took it down.
On a positive note, the kitchen was great, extra refrigerators and a great stove. The proximity to hiking and views were each a bonus. Some of the bedrooms are lovely.
