Mountain Edge Resort and Spa At Sunapee

Incredibly nice staff. Spacious and clean rooms. Definitely not a luxurious or high-​end design spot, but comfortable and easy. Pillows need refreshing but otherwise comfy beds (at least after a long day of hiking and traveling).
We went in the off season so the restaurant was like a ghost town and the dinner was hilariously bad.
So avoid the food, but otherwise I would recommend this spot if you’re looking for an economy/​mid-​tier home-​base for hiking, skiing, or fall color touring.

Lovely restaurant, nice pools and hot tub. Room was decent; somewhat outdated. We had to move from original room due to sliding door lock being broken. Staff moved us right away into our new room. New room lacked a tv remote, so we contacted the desk and got a replacement right away. Shower handle was tricky-​turned about 60 degrees and the stopped. Let water run, only got lukewarm at best. Told front desk and they didn’t have an answer or solution for it. Also the wifi signal didn’t work in our room. This resort was way too pricey. Not worth the money. We wouldn’t stay here again.

I have no idea where the good reviews are coming from. We are a family of 5 (5 yr old, 3.5 yr old, and a 10 month old). My husband and I are very reasonable people. I never complain. We walked into our room and looked around, IMMEDIATELY walked out. The floor under the eating table was not clean, crumbs and chunks of food everywhere. There was a juice bottle cap visibly on the living room floor and 3 fingernails close by. There was no toilet paper and stains in the toilet from a recent bowel movement. I went to the front desk and asked for our room to be vacuumed and for toilet paper — those at the front desk were surprised that it wasn’t done, but had the cleaning service come. The room is spacious, but SO DATED. For 350 per night, I expected so much more — and I don’t think expecting the room to be clean is asking for much. PS– when I went to bed that night, my pillow smelled like perfume, so obviously the bed sheets were not changed.
The room smelled musty and in the morning my son and I had major allergies, so perhaps a mold problem?
There is a small patio that you can sit on, outside of your room… if you don’t mind the air blower for the ac blaring in your ear like a 737, when you’re trying to have a conversation with the person next to you.
Parking is not very convenient. There is a nice general store with fair prices.

My family and I love this place! This is our second year in a row staying here and skiing at Mount Sunapee. We liked the place so much that we decided to come back! The lobby is very quaint and has the classic New England feel. The two pools are very warm and the hot tub is great. They fixed the chlorine problem from last year, so the pools and hot tub were easy to be in without hurting our eyes. The rooms are spacious and come with a large fridge and microwave. The fireplace is great to sit around out on the balcony and in our room! The ski racks and shuttle bus makes it very convenient to get to the mountain right next door. We would love to come back for a third year!

This restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere and some very good food. Particularly gourmet are the escargots. A lot of delicious food on the menu, and that cozy antique feeling that makes New Hampshire great.
I will say I remember the food being top notch when I was a kid, and now it is merely extremely good.

Came here with a coworker/​friend to just relax and get away. We had gotten a deal through groupon so it was slightly cheaper than normal stay. The room was spacious and had a small kitchen which was nice. The resort was quiet which was perfect. We spent our time relaxing in the hot tub. And next day went sledding. There isn’t much to do if you are not a skier/​snowboarder, and dinning closes at 9pm in the nearby area. Other than that, we got exactly what we came for… Relaxation and a little fun to unwind. I would recommend it to friend

My Fiancé and I stayed here for our engagement weekend. The room was extremely spaceous with a large living room area with fireplace, sitting room with pull-​out couch, large king bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen. We loved that the room had a kitchen. All utensils, pots, pans, etc were provided including toaster and mini crock pot so no need to bring your own. The fireplace is warm and cozy. Bed is extremely comfortable. The only down side is the outdated TV’s in the living area and bedroom that give off a sort of «ringing» the minute you turn them on.
The bathroom was clean however the door would not stay open. The shower fan did not do a very good job and the bathroom would get extremely steamy. We actually had to put something heavy in front of the door for it to stay open duing the day when we were gone.
On our first night we tried the mountain spirits tavern on site. There was one bartender/​waitress for the entire restaraunt and it was difficult to get her attention. We ordered drinks and appitizers, food was sub par and drinks were pretty good. I definitely suggest trying the «Snowstorm» drink.
After my surprise engagement I wanted to get a manicure to show off my ring. I called down to the spa and there was no answer. I checked the hours and they were open. It took calling two more times to finally get an answer. They did not have any appointments for a manicure that day so I scheduled one for the following morning at 11 am.
The next morning I went down for my manicure. I waited around in the spa lobby for ten minutes with another woman. Upon telling the receptionist that I had an appintment at 11 for a manicure she said «Oh, yeah… we were trying to get in touch with you… our cosmetologist just gave her two weeks and called out today so we can’t do manicures. But I can give you a discount on a pedicure.» First, they never tried getting in touch with me. I was staying right upstairs and not once did I get a phone call or knock on the door and we had been there all night. Second, how can they do a pedicure and not a manicure?
Disgusted, I went back to my room and found a nail salon the next town over called Lee’s Nails. They were happy to accept walk-​ins and did a beatiful job for half the price Mountain Edge Spa had manicures for.

For $ 300 a night I was expecting much more. First, upon checking in we discovered they had no reservation for us even though I had the confirmation email with me. They gave us a room in no time however.
The room is big and nice. But there were some aspects that made it feel cheap. The bathroom was underwhelming with a standard shower/​tub. The bed was uncomfortable and had that icky brown comforter seen at many motel 6’s.
The sign outside says the tavern at the hotel is open daily at 4 but it was closed both Monday and Tuesday.
The spa: unprofessional. We showed up 15 mins early as requested on the «spa etiquette.» And was greeted by a book keeper who had no idea where the spa staff was. The masseuse was mediocre and was also fighting with the receptionist as we left. Weird.
The «spa» jacuzzi and pool is for the entire hotel and not private or luxurious at all. Toys were floating in the pool and the sauna didn’t work all 3 days we were there.
Pros: close to sunapee park and beach.

Part time share/​part hotel… mountain edge resort is a very nice place to spend some overnights while exploring the Lake Sunapee area. Rooms are all suites and very large. Theres a bed room. a workable kitchen area… a living room and a den area. Indoor and outdoor pool… indoor and outdoor sauna… a nice tavern open most evenings and even a complete spa. They seem to really try hard here to please. area kept very clean… TV’s could use some updating but beyond that… its the nicest spot in the area to stay.

This was my wife and my first stop on our honeymoon, last November. The accommodations are very nice. It was pretty dead while we were there, since it was outside of pretty much every season.
It was pretty cool to sit in the hot tub outside, listening to the wind blow through the trees and looking at the sky.
The rooms were spacious, with full kitchens, and plenty of places to sit. There was a TV, with DVD player (ours didn’t work.), an office area, «living room» and bed room.
There’s a little country store in the parking lot with a variety of amenities, and a restaurant across the street, both of which you can charge the expenses back to your room.
We got massages there, too, and they were able to squeeze us in pretty last minute.
If you don’t ski, there isn’t much around, however.

We had a nice time here using a Living Social voucher in mid-​December. Sadly it wasn’t snowing so there wasn’t much was open (no skiing, tubing, or skating in the area yet), but it was very quiet and relaxing as a result. Not a lot of people around at all. The suite was much bigger than I was expecting and felt homey. The DVD player stopped working but they brought up a new one within 10 minutes of my calling the front desk. Both were pretty old models and made a lot of noise while playing. The menus for the restaurants on their website and in the guest information book are really outdated — I think Digby’s is a casual restaurant and not a steakhouse like it says online or a yacht club-​type place like it says in the book. The menu for Mountain Spirits Tavern was also a little different and they ran out of a few entrees, even though we ate early and the place was not very crowded. It felt strange that the server kept calling me by my first name, but that’s just a preference.
I spent all day at the spa. The neuromuscular massage was great and I’d get another if I went back. The salt scrub was not very vigorous, and the mountain of a mani/​pedi was so-​so — they started chipping pretty quickly, and my toes were pretty sloppy. I’d pass on these.
Overall, it was a great deal through Living Social (discounted room and 50% off restaurant, spa, and general store), and they didn’t treat us like we had a voucher, which is always nice. I’d go back if there’s another deal, but be warned that if the voucher is for 1 night, they have a 2-​night minimum stay during ski season, so you’d have to purchase a second night to use the deal, and it might not end up being worth it.

This is the perfect place to get away for a ski weekend. The staff is super friendly and the amenities are more than accommodating. This place just makes you feel like home way from home. It doesn’t get any better than sitting in the outdoor jacuzzi after a day of skiing. The best part is Mt Sunapee is only down the road. Yes, all the restaurants and bars in the area closes pretty early. But this only encourages you to have a nice relaxing evening by the fire place or play couple of games of wii at the lounge with drinks of course. I also had a nice pedicure at the spa at the resort since the massage appointments were all booked up. I would recommend booking in advance for the spa services.

Excellent accomodations — in room fireplaces, patio, excellent shuttle to ski area (which ALWAYS seemed to be right there exactly when we needed it), food, friendliness — everything was perfect. I cannot wait to return. Thank you, Mountain Edge Resort !!!
