An all-inclusive family resort on Little Lake Sunapee

129 Years welcoming families

Activities

Life at Twin Lake Village.

From early morning tennis to evening bingo, the days here take on a rhythm of their own.

All activities

They keep coming back.

Twin Lake Village isn't just a vacation destination — it's a family tradition passed down through generations.

I've been coming to TLV my whole life (and my mom has been coming since she was 7). It is a family resort where you end up getting to know everyone by name. It makes you feel like you've traveled back in time (in a good way). You can have to most relaxing week of your life, or a more involved week with the free golf, tennis, lake/beach acces, canoeing, shuffleboard, etc. It's all up to you. Your whole family can do their "own thing" and yet all get back together for the 3 served meals included. New London is a cute town with little shops, grocery store, a local pub and a local playhouse that shows different musicals every week. Highly recommend.

There are few places left in the world like TLV. My great-grandmother came here in the 40s and 50s, and my parents took us here in the 70s. When my kids were born, we began vacationing again at TLV in the 2000s. Not much has changed, thankfully, except for the addition of WiFi in the hotel common areas and hummus on the relish tray. Being here is like vacationing at a National Trust property. The Kidder family are very welcoming and can tell you all about the myriad off-site activities such as hiking and cultural events in New London, Sunapee and Hanover. There's plenty to do onsite, as well. I don't golf or play tennis, but I still have a great time at TLV. The food is simple, but delicious and ample. The homemade breads are divine. And how many other places serve Maypo for breakfast? TLV's maple syrup is not only real, but it's made on the property. You can buy some to take home. Every week, they have a picnic dinner on Mt. Kearsarge, which is not to be missed. The views are spectacular, and there's even a playground for the kids. If you are addicted to luxury, then this may not be your kind of place. But if you appreciate and adore the simple beauty of old New England, then TLV is for you.

I've been coming to TLV for over 50 years and it's still the same place with golf, tennis, the lake (Little Lake Sunapee) & three meals a day plus a Tuesday night picnic on Mt. Kersarge. TLV is a main lodge with outlying cabins and hotel rooms including daily maid service. The Kidder family has run this very special place since its inception and now the 4th & 5th generation are operating it. It is an incredible bargain and amazing destination about an hour north of the Manchester, NH airport.

We have been coming to TLV for almost 20 years. This is the perfect place for any kind of group get together where you want to have fun, have things to do for all ages, but you don't want anyone to get stuck doing the cooking and cleaning. However, keep in mind that you don't just come here for one night and leave. (Unless you stay in the Lodge.) Pick a week, find a group of friends or family to fill a house and enjoy. You will be competing with the other regulars who come the same week every year (like us!) But there are openings so do try to come! The Lodge also can take families and a group of rooms or you can stay as a single or double, like a hotel. TLV has it all if you like Par 3 type of golf, tennis, lake swimming, boating, Bingo night, hiking, a waterfall and a preppy affordable town nearby (only a mile or so) if you need groceries or boutiquey type of shopping. Maybe we'll see you at TLV sometime!

I stayed at Twin Lake Village for a week with friends. The place has an old-timey feel to it, and many of the guests are people who have been going there for years and even decades. Many of the lodgings are cottages, though we stayed in the annex, which is a kind of like a better version of a college; three bedrooms (each with a bathroom) with a shared common room that includes furniture, cabinet space and a mini-fridge. There are enough beds for six people, though I would recommend four people at most (six people might feel cramped in the annex). You get three meals daily in the dining hall, all-inclusive, and the food and service was very good (breakfast is generally the same each day, while the lunch and dinner menus change daily). There is a golf course (9 holes, I believe) and a lake that is great for swimming. You can take out canoes and kayaks from the dock. There are plenty of other amenities here and activities that are offered daily. More than anything, this was a quiet and relaxing place to stay, and I hope to return for future stays. A couple other things to know in advance. This is a place to go if you want to get away from civilization. No TV's in the lodgings, and you can only get very limited wi-fi in the office. Also, be sure to set aside money for tips; you can include it as part of your payment at check-out. They post recommended amounts for the various staff members.

My Family and I have been traveling up to TLV for five years and we all look forward to this special summer holiday spot. We represent several generations in our family group, all of whom enjoy TLV. My granddaughter loves to attend the play house every morning, a free service for young children so their parents enjoy the various activities such as the lovely golf course, three Har Tru tennis courts and all the various water sports. The same family's tend to book the same week year after year. As a mother and grandmother to our gang I love the liberation from any food preparation and house cleaning. I adore the waitstaff that tends to us so well all week and the house keeper that cleans our cocktail glasses and tea cups and makes our beds each morning while we enjoy another beautiful New Hampshire day. TLV is a real jewel.

A great place to start a vacation tradition! We come every year and it is like a step back in time. No TV, No Telephone (we leave or cell phone shut off) and you relax, read a book, take a swim, play a round of golf, play a game of tennis and an after dinner game of shuffleboard might be in order. You get 3 meals a day like your grandma's home cooking. So if you are looking for an escape for the rigggors of today's pace, then spend a week at TLV!

My family has been going for over 42 years. It is a great family experience. All of the staff are very kind. In addition, the food is great. You do not have to worry about your kids if they are over 7. It is very safe and every guest is super considerate and sweet. There are also a bunch of other kids to play with. I would totally recommend it to anyone who is looking for some amazing family fun. It is great to be apart of the TLV family. Love they place and the experience!

My extended family has been spending a week together every summer for the past 24 years. In 2005 we started spending a week at TLV and love it. Our group includes teenagers, college kids, and their middle-aged parents as well as 80 year old parents/grandparents/aunts/uncles. We are a relatively easy going bunch who go back every year because TLV is in a lovely spot on Little Lake Sunapee, the owners are friendly and accommodating, and the price is most definitely right. We especially like not having to cook, shop clean, or shell out for a round of golf or use of a kayak or canoe. The only decision I have to make at TLV is which fun thing to do that day. There have been TLV weeks when all I did was read, hike, run, take naps, play cards, do a jigsaw puzzle and canoe. It was heaven.

Twin Lakes is one of thoses places that you can come to...and totally relax. Shut off the cell phone, sit on the front porch with a good book...that you will never read because there is always someone there to talk to. It is home in so many ways. Play golf, go swimming, kayaking, fishing.....get all dressed up...(only if you want to) and go to the small summer theatre in town....or visit the Ice House...great Model T's !!!! My favorite thing to do is drive around the area and explore.....and shop! I go back to Twin Lakes every year.....in 20 years it will still be the same.....
