The property was private and secluded, but still close to Sunday River and all other Bethel attractions. It was clean and cozy, and the hot tub helped relax after a day on the slopes.
This was our second time here and we had a great stay. The house is set up perfectly and near everything we like to do in Western Maine. It is especially nice that we are able to bring our dogs with us when we stay.

Glad you and your dog had a great stay! You are welcome back anytime. Thanks for being the perfect guests!
House was perfect to accommodate our group. Large backyard for the dog and basement was a plus for playing pool and darts. Very clean and cozy. Would stay again!
One of the best places we've stayed in the Bethel area. Close to town but feels like you're in the middle of the woods. Owner was communicative and helpful.
This house offered everything that we could have wanted for our semi annual girls get away. We love to find a cabin in the woods with enough amenities that we don’t feel the need to leave the house and this did not disappoint. We got groceries on the way in and never left the house for our entire 5 days. Between the hot tub, game room, and our own quiet corners to read we were thoroughly entertained and able to relax.

Thank you Salina! I am so glad our home was enjoyed by all and was nice and cozy for all of you.
Very nice property for family gathering in any season. Host is very prompt to respond to any inquiries. Has good amenities and about 30 minutes to town. Would stay here again.
My husband and I had a wonderful week at this lovely home. The home was thoughtfully arranged for skiers, hunters or adventurers to have a comfortable living experience. The host also shared local attractions, places to eat as well as tips to operate this lovely home. The hot tub was wonderful as well! We loved everything about this home and the fact that we could bring our fur-baby along was priceless. Dont wait; book now for a wonderful Maine experience

Crystal, Thank you so much for the lovely review. Enjoyed having you as our guests! Very glad you enjoyed yourselves. Please come again!
The house was amazing and beautiful! Although we did find that the house could of been a little bit cleaner (one of us owns a cleaning business ;)) but it was still a nice place to get away and see Maine!
Perfect house to rent for a ski weekend! We have a wonderful stay and the house had everything we needed! 20 minutes to Sunday river and 10 minutes to bethel.
This was the perfect vacation home for our family! The owner was very quick to respond to all questions! Something to do for everyone, hot tub, pool table, TV/internet, board games. Best of all the area is quiet and not a lot of traffic at all! Loved everything about our stay!!
We enjoyed the comfort of the home and all it had to offer (pool table, hot tub, etc.). The host was very quick to respond to any questions. We enjoyed the small-town feel of Bethel and the nearby towns, allowing us to have the relaxing vacation we wanted!
Our trip to Bethel was wonderful. The place was clean and well taken care of. We loved the hot tub especially at night when we could see the stars. It was just far enough away from Bethel but not too far. We really enjoyed our stay and can recommend this lovely home.
Great accommodations. Had everything we needed and more! My son and daughter-in-law enjoyed fly fishing in the area and my wife and I enjoyed relaxing and visiting Maine relatives! If we come back next year, we’ll definitely stay here again.

Thank you Larry and family. Glad you enjoyed yourself. Please do come back, you were the perfect guests.
The home and property were beautiful, cozy, clean and quiet. Well stocked with everything needed and extras like games. Babbling brook behind the house offers peaceful ambiance. Wasn’t prepared for the sounds of the neighbor’s cow but it added to the experience:)

About the host
Hosted by Renee Bowers
We are skiers and generally love the outdoors all year round so Maine is the perfect place for us. We have been married for 30 years and have two grown children and one 3 year old grandchild. We live and work near Buffalo, NY
Why they chose this property
We purchased this property with the intent to retire here in less than 10 years but in the meantime wanted to let others enjoy the quiet outdoors of Maine. We have been traveling to this area for about 10-12 years and just love it in all seasons. The skiing in the winter is incredible and we have not skied anywhere else in New England since finding this area. We recently began coming back in summers and love it just as much as we do in the winter. So many outdoor things to do: biking, kayaking, fishing, hiking, swimming, etc...
