This is a great location and beautiful house. Plenty of room. Well appointed and comfortable rooms. Secluded spot yet close to town and Sunday River Ski Resort. Game room, hot tub and fire pit were perfect to keep everyone in our group occupied and relaxed. Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again in the future.

Great for big groups

We were very pleased with the accommodations and amenities available to us. Our four families, with 10 kids ranging from infant to teen, had enough space and activities to keep everyone entertained. Our host was very responsive and the s’mores gift was a great hit with the kids.

Awesome House for Large Groups of All Ages

The layout of the house is so great for entertaining large groups of people. We had 12 adults and one baby and there was so much space where we could eat, play games, and hang out. The kitchen was really well stocked from an appliance and cookware standpoint. Everyone slept so comfortably and there were enough bathrooms for that size of group. Definitely follow the hot water shower tips that are posted in the bathrooms as the hot water was spotty when you didn't. The hot tub was great to have post skiing. The house had a large mud room perfect for storing all gear.Communication with the host was great we will definitely look at renting this property again!

Great spot for a large group!

Our group had a great time at the property. A very nice location and plenty of space. We were a little unclear and thought there was going to be an additional bed but we had someone back out and it ended up not to matter. Oh and also, MASSIVE hot tub. Overall I would recommend to a friend.

Family Vacation

My family and I stayed at the house for a week. We had 9 adults and 4 kids in our group and the house was spacious and accommodated everyone’s needs. We had beautiful weather so we took advantage of the great pool and hot tub in the evenings.The view of the mountains was pretty great too. The house is close to a shopping area and some great ice cream. Jess was a pleasure to work with and was very responsive during the planning process and while we were at the house. I would recommend staying here and hope to come back again in the future.

Ideal location for extended family vacation

Every year we seek accommodations for a family vacation with 4-5 adult couples (some with young children) and several young single adults. We look for places with 4-5 adult bedrooms (king or queen beds), sleeping accommodations for the singles, multiple full bathrooms, large kitchen and dining areas, and plenty of indoor and outdoor activities. This accommodation was the best we have found. The dining table seats 14 comfortably, so we could dine as a complete group. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of dishes, cutlery and cookware so we didn't have to constantly do the dishes. Everything in the indoor activity area was in excellent order ... no missing or damages pool cues or foosballs. Nice clean poker table. Outdoors, the deck area, barbeque, swimming pool and hot tub were clean and enjoyable. Plenty to do in and around Bethel, ME ... some of the best fishing, hiking and kayaking for family fun. We highly recommend.

Ski Trip

This place was perfect for our group. Not all of us ski or snowboard but we always had something to do as bethel is a cute town with local cafes. It was so close to Sunday River for those who spent the whole weekend there. More than enough space for 15 people with our gear. Perfect to spend nights in together as a group to keep us entertained. Jess was also very responsive to any needs that came up. Can’t wait to come back next year.

Spacious, Clean and Well-Kept Home! Awesome Owner!

We held a family reunion here and had plenty of space for 3+ families. The home is very spacious and offers a lot of entertainment options - game room, hot tub, pool, etc. More importantly, however, Jess is awesome to deal with - whether it was seeking recommendations for local activities or responding to a quick message about the property she was always very responsive, pleasant and helpful. We would definitely come back for another stay and highly recommend this property, especially for large groups! The massive dining room table was the center of group dinners and board games!!! Thank you!

Absolutely Perfect

This place was idyllic! Very beautiful home in a stunning location. The house had everything we needed for adults and kids alike. It was set up perfectly for groups to hang at the large dining room table or on the deck or by the fire pit. Nice drive to swimming holes and rivers and Sunday River fun. Jess was super responsive and gave great recommendations. He even pulled a fire permit without us asking! We also had some of the best food in downtown Bethel including Butcher Burger and Mountain Social Kitchen. All around a wonderful stay - we could not have asked for more.

Lovely Mountain Home

We had a really nice time at Bethel. The house was lovely and spacious enough for our group of eleven. We had six adults and five kids and the bedroom layout worked well. The kids had a place to hangout downstairs while the adults played games at the enormous dining table. We experienced colder than normal temps in August but that didn’t stop the kids from using the beautiful pool. Bethel is a very cute town, we absolutely loved checking out all of the waterfalls and swimming holes in the area (albeit crazy cold water). We had a couple of very minor issues during our stay and Jess was very responsive and addressed them immediately. Would definitly recommend to families looking to get away and enjoy nature on their next holiday.

This house was beautiful and had plenty of amenities for our stay. The property was in excellent condition and the location was perfect. Close enough to Bethel and Sunday River Golf Club for exploring and golf, but far enough away for privacy. I would recommend this property to anyone planning a multi-family or buddies trip.

Great property. The pool and hot tub were enjoyed every day. Close to town but beautifully private. The huge custom dining table made it possible for our large group to eat together as a family. Central air, three levels of living space, two laundry areas and two large refrigerator/freezers provided comfort and convenience for all! I would recommend this property to others.
