The house was great and owner very responsive when we had a couple of questions. The pond is excellent but for our kids, we had to use water shoes as it’s a bit leafy on the bottom. The hot tub was cleaned and tested and tended to every morning.The home was excellent and we loved our stay.

This was a beautiful home, stock full of everything you need on your vacation. The outdoor area was very nice to sit, have a fire and relax in the hot tub. The only problem we had was the house was full of flying ants and carpenter ants.

Hi Kayla, Thanks so much for letting us know! We've been able to contract a pest control company and have dealt with the ant situation. I'm glad to hear that you had a successful birthday weekend for your group despite having some ants interfering with the party - I hope you all consider coming back again sometime!

We loved our stay at Jim‘s Ski house. It was a very cold weekend in January, but the house was nice and warm. Plus we thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub. My girlfriend said it had a very homey feel :-)

Jim’s place was clean with very comfortable beds and everything we needed in a home base while visiting Bethel with our kids and dogs. The house is a short drive from many activities in and around Bethel. Songo Pond is across the road from the house with a great dock where we relaxed while the kids swam, kayaked and canoed. We also enjoyed the hot tub, grill and fire pit. Things to consider: The house is on a main road, without too much traffic but cars go fast so you’d have to be careful with wandering toddlers out front. There are two large dogs on the neighboring property whose owners demanded our dogs be leashed at all times. Jim advised us of this before we arrived and it wasn’t a problem. There is a dog zip line at the back of the house.All in all we had a fantastic time and Jim was a great host who was immediately responsive with any communication.

Plenty of room with bedrooms as advertised. Huge dining table able to fit our big group. Two fridges and nice appliances. Lots of parking out front. Responsive with maintenance. Had a hot water issue when we first arrived, but owner took care of it right away. Someone came and cleaned the hot tub and the front walk in the middle of our stay. The building has two units, with this rental being everything to the right side of the entrance door in the middle.

Jim was a great host and very friendly. From the beginning he communicated well and ensured we got in the house. The house was great with no issues and had everything we needed to cook breakfast and dinner. When we did need something Jim was only a call away and was very prompt to our needs. The house location was great. Very spacious and beds were great. Quick drive to Sunday River. The hot tub was a plus, especially after days on the mountain. I would rent this house again!

This was a great find at Sunday River to enjoy a ski weekend with friends. All the basics and then some are provided and the short drive to Sunday River was a big plus. Excellent host, friendly and responsive.

Amazing place

Had a bachelor party for my friend and 10 others and this property was perfect. Clean, well stocked, and a 15 second walk from a great spot on the pond. The hot tub was always in top shape and was great for relaxing after a day in the pond. Would stay again if I’m ever in the area.

Ski weekend

This place was great for our big ski group. There were plenty of beds for our whole crew and great hang out areas in the kitchen and living room. The hot tub was perfect after a long day on the slopes. Will definitely come back again next year!

Awesome Spot for Big Group

We had a bachelor party and the location and house could not have been more perfect. Plenty of beds (slept 13 guys very comfortably), the pond was right across the street and there was plenty of room to grill and hang out outside. Couldn’t recommend this place anymore!
