Sunapee Harbor Cottages

I wished I had read all of the reviews on fodors.com, travelpost.com, etc. before I went to Sunapee Harbor Cottages. The cottages are not on the water (3/4 mile walk to the closest swimming beach). We had functioning wi-fi for 1 of 7 days we were there (we needed it as it was a working holiday). We were hectored into parking within the narrow lines the innkeeper called parking spaces. This meant that one morning we had to crawl into the back of our car, because cars had parked within the lines on either side and it made it impossible to get in our car through the side doors.
All of the above would have made it unpleasant, but the inn keeper herself made it downright hostile. The Inn keeper yelled at our kids the whole time and even squirted one with a garden hose when she didn't like what he was doing. His infraction? Lighting a sparkler on the 2nd of July! When we asked her to stop being so hostile to us, she decided we had "dissed" her, so she called the Sunapee Police. Luckily, the police officer was very polite and just listened and left, passing no judgement.
Great place to stay if you'd like a middle school assistant principal who uses rap culture vernacular to describe your conduct at her quaint New England inn.
