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.

Just returned from spending another wonderful 2 weeks at Twin Lake Village (TLV). Its a place where families return year after year to reconnect with old friends, including the Kidder Family which has run TLV for over 100 years, as well as start new friendships with first time guests. While TLV isn't for everyone--no flat screen TVs in your room nor is there a heated indoor swimming pool or fitness center. But, if swimming in a crystal clear lake, paddling a kayak, going for a sailboat ride, playing golf on a challenging nine hole par 3 golf course, playing tennis, having a picnic dinner on a mountain watching the sunset, or simply sitting in a rocking chair on the porch reading a book or talking to other guests, then TLV may very well be the right choice for your next vacation. And, I've always found the food to be very good--especially those pancakes at breakfast--and deserts at lunch and dinner are exceptional.

I have been going to Twin Lake Village for more than 50 years and there is no place like it. It is like going back to summer camp where I went for 8 summers in nearby Andover, New Hampshire. Twin Lake has a 9 hole golf course, 3 har-tru tennis courts, a boat house where you can canoe, fish or rent a sail fish. It offers three meals a day. It also has a bingo night and a dance night for children. A highlight is the Tuesday night picnic at the halfway house on nearby Mt. Kearsarge. It is on the outskirts of New London, New Hampshire, a charming college town, (Colby Sawyer College,) with a very old summer stock theater in an old barn, called The Barn Playhouse. There are several nifty restaurants, some even gourmet, and several clothing stores as well. The prices at Twin Lake defy the imagination as they are very reasonable. Twin Lake's season is from the last week in June to the 3rd week in August. It is a truly wonderful operation that has delicious food and daily maid service. Do check it out!

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.

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.

My extended family just celebrated our 8th summer at TLV and we all look forward to many more years together. We have created a special bond with returning families and have watched each others' children grow up. We love the casual and constant atmosphere at TLV. In a fast paced changing world it is comforting to rely upon the consistencies the Kidder family provides....from the array of food, the rocking chairs on the porch, the tennis tournament to the afternoon group on the dock. We wouldn't change a thing!!

Twin Lakes Village combines the very best of a family environment in a gorgeous setting for a terrific value. The Hotel and rustic cottages look out over Little Lake Sunapee and the challenging 9 hole par three golf course. The three tennis courts are terrific. TLV has its own boathouse and private beach at the lake with kayaking and sunfish sailing. The staff is friendly and the family style meals are wonderful. The New London/Lake Sunapee area is a prime resort spot with other activities available, such as golf, shopping and sight seeing, outside of TLV. It is an all-inclusive experience that is a throw back to a time when families spent time together and left their doors unlocked. TLV is a gift worth experiencing.

Twin Lake Villa is a rare find for those seeking a unique vacation experience; it is truly a magical location in charming New England. Generations of the Kidder Family have lovingly maintained the Villa, it's surrounding cottages and it's much used facilities: a vibrant waterfront on Little Lake Sunapee, a FUN nine hole golf course (for young and old alike), three clay tennis courts, shuffleboard courts and acres of green lawn where children play happily. If you are looking for a destination for rest, relaxation, and abundant time to connect with your family, not your PC devices, this is THE spot. The returning guests are well connected in the most important ways...with their families and friends!

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!

Is like stepping back in time. There is the main hotel and 18 houses that can each be rented. We were a group of 14 friends and was a great place to go and unwind and relax. There are all sorts of activities available: shuffleboard, tennis. There is a beach and a boathouse. They supply kayaks and beach chairs and beach towels. There are trails and we hiked for a few miles was absolutely beautiful. Can also sit on the large and very long veranda on the rocking chairs and contemplate the universe. There is no alcohol in the dining room so we had brought wines and appetizers and we had a pre-dinner gathering on the verranda. The food is all well cooked but quite basic. However do not be fooled, the bread is home made, the syrup is local maple syrup and the service was all from eager kids who seemed to be in the summer after graduating high school. This is not fancy. Our room in the hotel was adequate. It was quite hot but the overhead fan worked well and we had been advised and brought a floor fan as well. Next time we will know to take a kettle as coffee or tea is not available outside of mealtimes.

My family has been coming here now for 59 years and my family are friends with the Kidder family. Let me say it has never over the 59 years been a bad year. The people make the difference, but the 9 hole golf course is a great course and the bakery is the best part of there meals. The picnic is my personal favorite. In closing TLV is a great place for any family or group of friends to start a long tradition.
