Jack and Martha are exceptional host. We have been renting through VRBO for more than 10 days and their vacation home was the nicest place that we ever rented. It was very well stocked and everything that you can think of they had it ( even an extra toothbrush, toothpaste, and make up removal, shampoo, conditional,Q-tip)Their gorgeous Chalet was well kept and had up to date appliances. Their bedrooms are spacious with very comfortable beds. It is located about 10-15 minutes from Sunday River. Jack sent a guy to plow the driveway and shoveled the steps for us because it snowed overnight. That was a 5 stars service! We really enjoyed our stay and we are looking forward to return in the near future!

This place needs to be experienced, not just viewed in the photos. It was high quality in every way-- furniture, linens, cooking paraphernalia, etc. It's set up perfectly for groups; the rooms are well placed along with the common areas. We spent most of our onsite time outside on the deck or at the firepit, taking in the magnificent mountain view.

This house is exactly as described. Well kept and very clean. Not far from downtown Bethel but felt remote. The is a house being built close by, but noise wasn’t much of a factor. We were gone all day.The host were easily to communicate with. Our stay couldn’t have been better.

Relaxing Winter Getaway

Our group of eight adults had a fantastic time at Paradise Ridge Retreat! Martha and Jack are wonderful hosts. It doesn't seem possible, but the home looks even better in-person than it does in pictures, and we really appreciated all of the little details and extra amenities that were provided. It was very cold and windy during our stay, and the hot tub was a favorite spot to relax and keep warm. We're looking forward to visiting again!

I cannot express in words how happy we were with this rental house and it’s owners. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay in their house.
