Dexter’s Inn is one of New England’s most comprehensively equipped independent hospitality assets — a 20-acre hilltop estate in Sunapee, New Hampshire offering 18 guest accommodations, a licensed pub, a 5,500 square foot seasonal event pavilion, a commercial cross-country ski and snowshoe trail center, and panoramic views of Mount Sunapee and Mount Kearsarge.
The property operates across four buildings. The main Inn features multiple guest rooms, two common lounges with fireplaces, a screened porch, a dining room, a commercial kitchen, and Dewey’s Pub. The annex provides additional guest rooms alongside a large game room. A two-bedroom cottage completes the lodging inventory as a private retreat for families and small groups. The full-estate overnight buyout model — 18 rooms, the cottage, and exclusive grounds use — is a high-margin format that corporate and social event clients seek and pay premium rates to access.
The seasonal tented pavilion supports weddings, retreats, and events for up to 225 guests from May through October; indoor year-round capacity accommodates 50. A commercially operated cross-country ski and snowshoe trail center converts to hiking and walking use in warmer months. A heated pool, two tennis courts, and additional recreational amenities round out a genuine four-season platform. The property adjoins 100+ acres of conservation land.
Mount Sunapee Resort and Lake Sunapee are 10 minutes away. Dartmouth College is 30 miles north. Boston is approximately 100 miles south.
The property includes a separate owner’s residence of approximately 2,300 square feet. The residence includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and flexible interior space that may accommodate owner occupancy, staff housing, or potential guest accommodation through a lock-off suite configuration.
