Twin Lake Village
New London, New Hampshire

The tour is centered in the Lake Sunapee Region of New Hampshire, and we will lodge at the lovely and historic Twin Lake Village in New London, just outside town on the northern shore of Little Lake Sunapee. The Innkeepers — five generations of the Kidders — have operated this inn since the 1890s. The “Villa,” as it is affectionately known by those who visit here annually (some for generations!), is renowned for simple and gracious hospitality, sumptuous New England cuisine, and relaxing ambience. Everyone who visits Twin Lake Village is a guest of the extended Kidder Family. Even after one hundred and twenty-five years, members of the immediate family still maintain the grounds, clean the hotel and cottages, cook the food, and Jan Kidder, our host and the doyenne of the clan, will be the first to welcome you to one of the most beautiful spots in New England. With change all around us, Twin Lake Village doesn’t change! Consider an image of the hotel taken during the 1940s, and then compare it with a recent photograph. Except for some trees lost in an ice storm and modern automobiles, the image is the same. It’s a bit like being caught in a time warp, but one too good to be true.

The cost of four nights lodging and of all eleven meals is $398 per person, double occupancy, payable by check to Twin Lake Village (credit card machines haven’t reached the hotel yet!). This figure already includes the taxes and gratuities. After experiencing the Kidders’ warmth and hospitality, you may find yourself requesting a reservation for the summer of 2009, quite apart from the tour this summer. If there’s a downside, it’s that the tour is limited to one hundred guests; several of the churches are not very large.
