The History & Our Story

We are the Johnson family:  Carl (me), Monique, Halen & Logan. 

As a child, I was fortunate to spend a few weeks every summer on Lake Winnipesaukee. When my grandparents first came to Sundeck, it was clear that this very special place would become our annual summer retreat. I have so many memories of those times – diving contests, shuffleboard, potluck dinners, and playing tag with friends until nightfall.

We strive to preserve the sense of tranquility and overall feeling that makes Sundeck so special. Over the years most lakefront cottage communities have disappeared from the lake. We are proud  that so many of our guests have been returning for decades and are committed to providing lakefront vacations for generations to come.

THE JOHNSON FAMILY

  • The Fanning Family has made Lake Winnipesaukee a tradition for generations. The lake itself has brought us countless memories. Here at Sundeck, the Johnson Family has exceeded expectations with hosting the most beautiful campus on the water.

    -Katelyn Fanning

  • Just walk out our door and into the water. Sundeck is a great place for family! Grounds are well kept, plenty of room for lawn games. We truly enjoy our time here.

    -Terri Partridge

  • My husband has been coming for nearly 30 years and we have loved carrying on the tradition with our own children. The sunsets, the sandy beach, the lake, and the vintage cottages (meticulously maintained) keep us coming back each year.

    - Christine H

  • The Johnson family does a great job keeping up the campus and ensuring all guests have an amazing stay. From the views on the deck to the beautiful dock this is a great place to stay!

    - Jeremy Stundon

  • I absolutely love the new owner’s (Carl's) vision as he is focused on restoring and maintaining the legacy instead of building new like so many others have on the lake.

    - Nick M.

  • I’m hesitant to leave a review as I don’t want to give up our secret gem! But Sundeck hosts are so kind, the experience so special for our family and the property so beautiful that it’s too good to not share.

    - Ben Chastney

  • What an incredible week we had hanging out with family and friends, floating in tubes, swimming to the float deck, playing games, grilling, boating and making memories of our own.

    - Lori Fuller

  • Best place on Earth!
