Great house, poor preparation
The house is amazing, great for big groups, and the main room is fantastic for entertaining. There is lots of space to spread out and enjoy family and friends. That being said, communicaiton with the property manager was inadequate as the care taker was not alerted to our arrival and therefore the heat wasn't turned on, a big bummer, as we arrived mid November and it took 24 hours to get the home up to temperature. The house was relatively clean, but it was clear it had been cleaned after the last group had stayed there and not before our arrival. Linens and towels are provided at an extra cost and with notification. We let Chris know 8 days before our arrival that we would need this service and after many unsuccessful attempts to confirm our need, we were finally able to touch base a couple of days before we showed up. The linens were out but none of the beds were made up. I do not think we were charged for the linen service, but it sure would have been nice to know what we were in for. A word to future guests, they do not plow the driveway if it snows. We had a foot of snow and thankfully we had 4wd, but it would have been hard without it.

Wellsweep Stone Barn
The property was more spacious and luxurious than advertised and easily accommodated our family. The property manager helped us settle in. All the utensils for us to cook and eat together were supplied. We spent two rainy days happily engaged inside and on sunny days played volley ball and croquet outside on the lawn and hiked and swam at nearby attractions.

Another wonderful stay in Sunapee
We spent the week before Christmas at Well Sweep for the second year in a row. It was another wonderful visit to a charming part of the Northeast. We skied all over New Hampshire and Vermont and enjoyed the local restaurants and attractions. The barn is a beautiful property and very well equipped. The owner and caretaker were very communicative and helpful, making it a seamless stay. Highly recommended.

Our weeklong stay at “Well Sweep” was wonderful. We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary (and Thanksgiving) with family and friends and the historic property easily accommodated all our needs. It was nice to have such a grand space to spread out, relax and enjoy each other’s company. Plenty of room to get away if you needed that, too. Family gatherings for meals was made easy by a well appointed kitchen and pantry. Two ovens and two dishwashers helped a lot to keep the good times going. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Overall, a truly wonderful and memorable time!

Well Sweep FTW!!
We hosted a five family (10 adults / 9 kids) friends reunion over six days at Well Sweep with the house and all its accommodations more than holding its own. Plenty of rooms, bathrooms, kitchen space, toys, space to run around and nearby lakes/activitiies for everyone to enjoy. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to appreciate an interesting old home in a quaint corner of NH.

Family snow trip
Nice large property. Ruth was very attentive and attempted to resolve issue with hot water and only 1 shower at a time. (needed a bigger fix than could be done during our stay) We got 26 inches of snow and loved it! great kitchen.....could use some full size glasses. very convenient to skiing, grocery stores and they were all about keeping the roads and driveway plowed. Overall a great place.

Wonderful holiday in New England
We spent the last two weeks of 2022 with our family at Well Sweep. We could not have had a better stay. The property was clean and very well stocked and even has a pizza oven. The massive size of the barn makes it perfect for large groups, as everyone can gather together but there are also many places gather and play games, work puzzles, read, etc. the owner and on-site caretaker were great to deal with and gave great suggestions on things to do in the area. Mt Sunapee is less than 10 minutes away but we also hit Stowe, Mt Snow and Okemo for skiing. Highly recommended for a large group!!

The Castle
This property is amazing. We had a girls weekend and were all just in awe of the beauty and grace of this amazing home. My granddaughter and I now call it the castle. It is just amazing. Plenty of space to be alone or get the group together. Hopefully we can go again in the future. One downside. Not enough kindling wood for the fireplace, but there were tree branches in the surrounding woods. :)

Annual Family Fall Get Away
Absolutely an amazing property and perfect for our family get together and annual fall weekend away. With a beautiful large kitchen, plenty of bedrooms / baths and multiple areas for people to spread out, the home easily accommodated all 20 of us. Can only imagine how great this home would be to stay there over Thanksgiving or Christmas . Communication with the host Chris was great as was the check in with Ruth. Our family is hoping to come back for years to come !

Very nice place to stay!
We had a group of 12 adults and there was plenty of room for all of us to be together or spread out. Close to lake for swimming and boating and lots of hiking. Played games and foosball inside and wiffleball, cornhole and other activities outside. We all had a great time. Ruth, the caretaker lives in a home on the property and was very responsive to our needs- which were few! It was difficult getting a response from Chris, the owner, during the process of reserving the property, but had no issues upon arrival and throughout our stay. Would come back again and highly recommend for large groups.

ROOM FOR EVERYONE
The sheer size and architecture of this home is outstanding. The interior space is well thought out, the views are lovely, there is lots of space to spread out. Many things to see and do in the Sunapee area, a swim in the lake is a must! AC would be a real plus. Some of the outside furniture should be replaced and the large upper deck railing is VERY shaky. Otherwise, a lovely experience. Some outside furniture needs to be replaced, very worn. Railing on large upper deck is very loose and shaky (we were happy no little ones were with us).

Long weekend with friends
WellSweep was a perfect spot for 4 families with 7 kids for a long weekend. The house is stunning and was perfectly clean. We caught one day of early season skiing at Sunapee, one rainy day poking around shops nearby and a sunny day exploring the trails at the nature preserve next door. Even with all the beautiful pictures on the listing, this exceeded our expectations and we hope to be back!

BeST peaceful retreat ever!
From the minute that we arrived onto this beautiful property and walked into this gorgeous renovated barn, we knew that we had found a very special place! It felt magical! The pictures actually do not do it justice! It was magnificent,as well as very inviting and cozy!We enjoyed a warm fire every night. We couldn’t have asked for a better host,as well as Ruth(who watches over the property) who arrived shortly after we did to show us around,and then offered her contact info if we needed anything during our stay. A 3-night stay was just not long enough! We look forward to returning sometime soon(next time instead of just myself and my husband,hopefully our children and their families will join us,as this home will comfortably fit 2 dozen people!) Chris,thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!
