About this property

The Paddle House: Riverfront, Rafts, Ultimate Game Room, Hot Tub, Yard Games!

Stunning custom post and beam home that sits on the edge of the Androscoggin River in Bethel. This private retreat offers an array of unparalleled amenities, ensuring your vacation is filled with endless enjoyment.

The home boasts 6 bedrooms consisting of a grand family suite with a king and 3 twins, a second suite with a queen, two private queen rooms, and a bunk wing with two bedrooms. A formal dining room with a custom built table just off the kitchen has a seat for everyone. Relax after dinner around the fire and enjoy a game on the giant scrabble board. 2 separate media rooms with surround sound are available. 75” Samsung TV in upstairs Media Room w/ seating for 14 people, additional Media Room with 65” TV in downstairs.

For those who prefer a little more action than relaxing to a flic, the "Gamerz" room offers 3 synced PlayStations each with individual monitors to create the ultimate competitive gaming experience.

Or hang out in the game room for endless entertainment with Pingpong, Pool Table, Golden Tee Golf & shuffleboard as well as a 55" TV so you won't miss the game.

Winter: The home is ~10 minutes to Sunday River for some of the best skiing on the East. If the ski conditions aren’t up to par, enjoy some fun on the ice rink. You can throw on your boots and play a game of Paddleball with our paddleball gear. Bring your snowmobiles for endless trail riding on the ITS or pack the Xcountry ski and snowshoes and head out on an exhilarating trek along the river. Trails can also be found directly across from the driveway! (Rink is installed 12/1 each year. It will be filled with water when we have 5 consecutive days of freezing weather)

Summer: The possibilities feel endless. The private setting with massive yard and outdoor games will keep you busy with fun. Play volleyball, throw horse shoes or enjoy a game of cornerhole by the river. If you’re itching for adventure, head up river 6 miles to the Gilead Bridge where you can launch your canoes, kayaks, paddle boards, tubes, or booze barge and lazily float back to the house.

Great family home

The paddlehouse was the perfect size for our large family. Plenty of room for all ages. The game rooms were great for a little indoor time. The volleyball area became the largest sandbox my grandchildren have played in. Everything was clean. Amanda was super helpful. Definitely would recommend.
