Sunapee Region, Waterfront Cabin on Lake Todd, family-friendly

The charm of Lake Todd is that it is a private lake with three islands to explore and many secret coves for great fishing. It's perfect for small children as the beach has a gentle slope, but deep enough to jump off the end of the dock. You will have your own very private beach and a row boat to get to the islands or to look for fish. The cabin sits up on a small knoll that has views of the lake and the perennial garden.

There are two bedrooms, one with a queen size bed and the other has two twins. The bathroom is located off the queen bedroom with another entrance off the kitchen. There are hard wood floors with an oriental rug in the living room, and the bedrooms are carpeted. The bathroom has a tub/shower combination. Guests bring their own sheets and towels. We can supply sheets and towels for an extra fee but please advise in advance. Blankets and pillows are provided. The nearest grocery store is Market Basket, at exit 9 off of Rte 89 N- about 10 miles away, we urge guests to stop there to get their groceries on the way in.
