Lovely Mountain Home
We had a really nice time at Bethel. The house was lovely and spacious enough for our group of eleven. We had six adults and five kids and the bedroom layout worked well. The kids had a place to hangout downstairs while the adults played games at the enormous dining table. We experienced colder than normal temps in August but that didn’t stop the kids from using the beautiful pool. Bethel is a very cute town, we absolutely loved checking out all of the waterfalls and swimming holes in the area (albeit crazy cold water). We had a couple of very minor issues during our stay and Jess was very responsive and addressed them immediately. Would definitly recommend to families looking to get away and enjoy nature on their next holiday.

We were very pleased with the accommodations and amenities available to us. Our four families, with 10 kids ranging from infant to teen, had enough space and activities to keep everyone entertained. Our host was very responsive and the s’mores gift was a great hit with the kids.

Family Vacation
My family and I stayed at the house for a week. We had 9 adults and 4 kids in our group and the house was spacious and accommodated everyone’s needs. We had beautiful weather so we took advantage of the great pool and hot tub in the evenings.The view of the mountains was pretty great too. The house is close to a shopping area and some great ice cream. Jess was a pleasure to work with and was very responsive during the planning process and while we were at the house. I would recommend staying here and hope to come back again in the future.

We stayed here with 15 people and skied at Sunday river. The house is gorgeous, well equipped with great amenities, and well located close to the ski mountain. The host is very responsive and helped us through a question we had with grace. Overall, we had a great stay.

Great spot for a large group!
Our group had a great time at the property. A very nice location and plenty of space. We were a little unclear and thought there was going to be an additional bed but we had someone back out and it ended up not to matter. Oh and also, MASSIVE hot tub. Overall I would recommend to a friend.

Ski Trip
This place was perfect for our group. Not all of us ski or snowboard but we always had something to do as bethel is a cute town with local cafes. It was so close to Sunday River for those who spent the whole weekend there. More than enough space for 15 people with our gear. Perfect to spend nights in together as a group to keep us entertained. Jess was also very responsive to any needs that came up. Can’t wait to come back next year.

Spacious, Clean and Well-Kept Home! Awesome Owner!
We held a family reunion here and had plenty of space for 3+ families. The home is very spacious and offers a lot of entertainment options - game room, hot tub, pool, etc. More importantly, however, Jess is awesome to deal with - whether it was seeking recommendations for local activities or responding to a quick message about the property she was always very responsive, pleasant and helpful. We would definitely come back for another stay and highly recommend this property, especially for large groups! The massive dining room table was the center of group dinners and board games!!! Thank you!

This place was idyllic! Very beautiful home in a stunning location. The house had everything we needed for adults and kids alike. It was set up perfectly for groups to hang at the large dining room table or on the deck or by the fire pit. Nice drive to swimming holes and rivers and Sunday River fun. Jess was super responsive and gave great recommendations. He even pulled a fire permit without us asking! We also had some of the best food in downtown Bethel including Butcher Burger and Mountain Social Kitchen. All around a wonderful stay - we could not have asked for more.

Great Family Vacation Home
Very clean well stocked home. First time in over 20 years of renting that we didn't have to run out and get trash bags.....or dish soap. Family of 16 very comfortable all week. Pool was fantastic. Happy there were hot days previous to rental because pool is not heated. Hot tub is large and enjoyed tremendously. Pool company checked pool and hot tub mid week. That's also a first. Would rent this home again and everyone in my family agrees with me. All are fighting for dibs on extra apartment that can be included with whole house rental.
