Perfect Bethel Get Away

We were headed to Bethel for a couple of days of hiking. Scott’s place on the Androscoggin River fit our bill perfectly. The house is two miles from downtown and close to numerous hiking trails. We were very impressed with everything about the house. From the house the views of the river were spectacular. If ever in the area in the future we would definitely love to rent this property again.

Amazing views, quiet & close to Sunday river

Scott has an amazing place on the river. Very beautiful house, quiet and less than 10 minutes from Sunday river skiing. Driveway during mud season can be very muddy so need a 4 wheel drive.

If Perfection Was a Place….

This would be it! The views are unrivaled and the architecture of the home highlights the beauty of the nature that surrounds it. We had a blast tubing down the river and taking quiet walks around the property. Scott is a kind and communicative host. Our stay was magical. Thank you!

Majestic Scenery

We had a wonderful week in February at this property. After a warm greeting from the owner, we enjoyed the view of the river and mountains from the main room. Waking up each morning to that scene was a great start to each new day. The design of the house is thoughtful with bedrooms separated by the main room and it is provisioned expertly for renters to feel comfortable while away from home. There is plenty of room to relax or work in this peaceful setting.

Getaway in scenic Maine

This house is amazing!! Through the years we have stayed in at least a dozen VRBO houses and this is the nicest, best furnished and best supplied home we have ever visited. The owner, Scott, walked us through all the details, and there are a few, regarding this home. He was a great host and loves sharing his home. Bethel is a neat NE town with lots to do nearby. Nothing but positive comments from us. The pictures of the home are very accurate, but there is not a picture of a nice deck/patio which is connected to the house overlooking the river.

Amazing views, peaceful and relaxing

Our first time in Maine and it was perfect. If you are looking for a beautiful home that offers peace and tranquility, this is the place! The view of the Androscoggin River can be seen from almost every window of the home. The patio also provides a serene environment overlooking the river and woods. We saw wild turkeys with their little ones daily. The home is beautiful inside, exceptionally clean, fully equipped kitchen, and the beds are very comfortable. It is your home away from home. The town of Bethel is only a few miles away and has a wonderful cafe and bakery, grocery store and the ambience of a small home town. You will not be disappointed!

A Little Paradise

I cannot say enough good things about this amazing home and wonderful owners. The location is a perfect distance to summer hiking, kayaking on the river, a community garden, great places to eat, buy food, local shopping, Sunday River and even the local airport. And if none of those appeal to you, simply spending time at the house is relaxing enough. For me, the home itself was my kind of dream home. The set up makes you feel comfortable right away, and the house is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. The owners are incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating, and made sure I was settled and comfortable for the stay. I can say that I was relaxed and fully enjoyed every second of the completely stress free stay, and I hope that I will be able to return many more times in the future!

We have spent 1- and 2-week vacations in Maine for almost 20 years, and all four of us agree that this is the nicest house we have stayed in. The view from the living room is spectacular, looking down at the Androscoggin River and the mountains to the west. The house has two very comfortable bedrooms; the primary has an adjoining bathroom, while the other is close to the bathroom which has the washer and dryer. The house itself is beautifully designed and built, and the host provided us with everything we could need, and even had some breakfast food available when we arrived. We enjoyed trips into Bethel, finding great little pubs and restaurants, a pottery studio, a museum, etc. There are many hiking trails only a few miles from the house, and several outdoor attractions (other trails and waterfalls) only minutes away. We hope to vacation here again in the near future!

Bethel Gem

We had the pleasure of staying at this home for the month of February where we used as home base for a ski house. Little did we know about how much more it was. Its scenic location, breathtaking views and sunrise/sunsets are what calendars are made from. The house was modern, very well kept, had everything we needed to make it feel like home. Very clean, just perfect for what we were looking for. The drive to the mountain was only 15-20 min pending traffic, and downtown Bethel even closer. The only thing better than the house was the host, who always was available and checked in regularly on our stay and if we had any needs. 5 starts all around. Would definitely stay here again!
