We stayed at the end of August and had a wonderful time. Our host(ess) was very easy to communicate with and she provided us with plenty of information about the property and things to do locally. The kids spent alot of time at the swimming hole on the Sindsy river, as well as fishing there are plenty of brook and brown ttout in the river as well as some perch. We were pleasantly surprised with the assirtment of both indoor and outdoor games that were available to be used. This property is at the top of our list to return to as a vacation spot. On a side note while driving around sightseeing we came across a pie stand on route 26 heading towards Grafton Notch call Puzzle Mtn Bakery. They have some of the best tasting pies and jams I ever had. They also sell maple cream cookies and whoopie pies. If you are every in the Bethel area its worth the drive, dont arrive too early since the do not stock the stand until noon.

Our week at this property was wonderful. Elizabeth’s communication was excellent and the house had everything that could be asked for. With Sunday River close by it was a perfect relaxing week away with friends! I would highly recommend it.

We had a great time at this beautiful property. Everything was just as described and everyone in our group had just right sleeping arrangements. We never used the swimming area with the children because the mosquitoes on the path were pretty awful and we were told by other members of the family that the water was very cold. No problem, we found many areas activities and played lots of games, inside and out. I was amazed at how well stocked the house was with just about everything we needed.

Great property for large families. Spacious! Very clean! Close to many activities since it is on a main road. Well stocked!

We were in the area to celebrate the wedding of a family member. The place was an excellent fit for us. The owner was very accommodating allowing us to check-in early and to check-out a bit later which was extremely helpful in facing the logistical challenges of the weekend wedding events. Beautiful property with a large field behind the house where kids have plenty of space to burn off energy.

Spotless property with every amenity indoors and outdoors. Close to the incredible mining museum,kayaking,miniature golf and ski slopes. A perfect location in beautiful Bethel,Maine.

We booked this house to sleep my bridesmaids in for our wedding we were having at a nearby property. We were impressed by the excellent communication of the host and the inside was immaculate even though the house was a little tired (nothing functional, just cosmetically). In terms of proximity to both town and Sunday River, its a total winner of a location. This would be a great property for a big family with little kids and/or dogs to enjoy the big lawn.

We enjoyed this property for a family getaway tremendously! The spacious house, large yard, huge deck, and river out back made for a great week! The owner was very kind and easy to get ahold of.

Property was exactly as advertised. Clean, well equipped, great location. Awesome backyard with swimming hole! Great place for families and dogs!. Peaceful, private, despite main road in front. Elizabeth was easy to work with. Highly recommend!

We were 13 people, friends and family, and everyone had space in this lovely home. It was wonderful that you could always find a quiet space. The house was very spacious. The deck was very large and there was room on the deck for groups to gather and play games, chat, eat, etc. The fireplace was great at night. The lawn was huge and great for kite flying as well as many other games such as corn hole and ladder ball. We had many friendly competitions! Since we had some hot days, the water was very welcome! The younger kids loved jumping off rocks and throwing rocks. There were spots that were deep enough for swimming. Water was a bit chilly:-) We all loved the property and hope to return!

Wonderful stay
The location was perfect for us. Some tubed, went on nature walks, swam, went up Sunday River Mt, antiqued, etc. There was plenty of room for the 12 of us. We spent a lot of time on the very large deck and used the fire pit almost every night. The backyard is huge and our dog especially loved romping around in it. We were able to find some small swimming areas in Sunday River and tubed on the Androscoggin. It wasn't possibles to kayak on Sunday River, but we could have done so on the Androscoggin (Elizabeth was very upfront about this before we went). The area is incredibly beautiful.
The property is located on a very busy road with lots of trucks. However, this wasn't a problem when we were out back or for sleeping. The kitchen appliances could use some updating. The ice maker does not work in A and there was only one ice cube tray that leaked. One burner on the stove doesn't work.
All together we would highly rate this property and hope that we can use it again, if we can ever get the whole family together at once!
Thank you, Elizabeth

Family vacation
Great property to explore the area. The house was wonderful for 3 families to stay under one roof, while having more than enough private space. The river was awesome to explore and cool off. The house was on a busier road then expected. The big trucks made it a bit noisier than planned. Overall it was a great place.

Nice family location
This home was perfect for 4 generations to get together. The beach area was great for both the grandkids and the dogs. At first worried about the main road but the backyard is so huge it was never an issue. Nice big deck space for us all to gather. Loved all the separate living spaces for people to spread out when needed. Enjoyed being close to Sunday River Brewery and Steam Mill Brewery was awesome. Lots of nice areas to take hikes with young children. Easy and quick communication with the owner. Thank you Elizabeth!

Wonderful Experience All Around Fun
This was one of our best vacations ever. The home had a very Maine feeling. Clean, spacious and well kept. There are two comfortable size homes on each side of a one room studio (in the middle). Our oldest teenager took the studio and had the opportunity to feel some independence. The two side homes are not the same and each had its own unique attributes. Unit A has a loft and three bedrooms one downstairs and Unit B has a quiet sitting room near the back and a jacuzzi type of tub and two bedrooms. The studio also has a large jacuzzi that many family members enjoyed. All three units have a front door and back door entrances. The kitchens were stocked with spices, tools and plenty of cooking items. The beds were all comfortable and sheets, blankets and towels even bath mats for the bathroom were provided. The deck runs the full back of the house and with two children safety gates our dogs were secure on the deck. The deck was just stained and looked lovely. Lots of nooks and a varity of tables and chairs. There was plenty of room on the deck for singing around the fire, card games and meals. The back yard was bigger than a stadium. We all played baseball, badminton. And cornhole. The Androscoggin/Sunday river borders the yard with two paths. One is narrow and winding closer to the house but be careful for posion ivy. The other is towards the end of the yard and is a much better choice for swimming and exploring. Our host was prompt in responding when we had a bit of trouble with the internet connection. She was fabulous in trying to troubleshoot. We would highly recommend this home and Elizabeth as a host.
A few things we would suggest for fun if you come- are to, bring walkie-talkies with you. It was a fun way to announce dinner or make a request to the otherside. If you play any instruments bring them also. Your whole family can sing around the fire and you won't be bothering any neighbors. And if you are bringing a furry family member bring two gates for the deck. If you have little guys that like roller skates or skate boards, there is a small size skate park that a few of us enjoyed so bring your rolling gear.
A big plus is being close to a lot of activities. Everyday we found something new to do. Thank you for opening your home to our family so that we could make some very special memories.

We had a great time, relaxing on the river. We brought inner tubes and enjoyed floating along. Brought our lab who absolutely loved it.
A couple downsides, they were doing road construction right out front that cause a lot of noise. Also didn't realize quite how busy the front road is. We were able to look past that somewhat because the back yard is expansive.
One of the beds did have dirty sheets which we had to wash and re-apply which was a bit disappointing. I have a feeling someone didn't strip that bed after the previous use.
Overall, there was plenty to do, we enjoyed the puzzles at the house and there was so much space to hang out.
If this place got an update/facelift it would be a luxury property! It was a bit dated but for the amenities it was perfect for us.
We had a blast!

If you're looking for a quiet place with easy, private access to the Sunday River, this is the place! We shared this place with my husband's family (13 in all) and we had a nice time. The house/kitchens are well equipped with all the little things. And Bette, the homeowner, is amazing!

We had a very hot week so majority of our time was in the river in the back yard. We had the river to ourselves which was awesome. Breakfasts and dinners on the back deck. Only left the house one day for wildlife refuge.

The house was perfect for our family with the various areas, 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. The huge deck with the fire pit was used daily/nightly and the big dining room table fit all of us comfortably. The river marks the property boundary line and was a great area to hang out. Bette was very responsive to any questions or concerns we had. The property could use a little maintenance but we will definitely consider staying here again.

My family and 2 other families go on yearly trips. There is a total of 6 adults 7 kids and 3 dogs. This house is basically set up as 3 apartments. Each of our families took a separate apartment. Nearly all the time we kept doors open to free walk between. At times we were able to close the apartment doors to get some privacy as a family. Great back yard with a deck that stretches all 3 sections with a fire pit in the middle. Great stream in the back yard deep enough for the kids to jump off rocks and adults to float (while enjoying a cocktail) ;). A short walk down river was a rope swing that both the kids and adults enjoyed. Very great experience perfect set up for multi family trips!!

This property gave space for 3 families to comfortably stay on our getaway vacation. Sweeping back porch and huge lawn made for a great place to relax and enjoy the summer weather.A small river was a treat for all ages to cool off and play. Although the town center was small, we found a great cafe, toy/gift store, gem museum, and well stocked grocery store. Our host was prompt in answering any questions. The only drawback was traffic and construction directly in front of the house.

A Home away from Home
We booked this Home for a four day stay for a party of 8 adults and 7 kids. The Home had all the basic amenities we need for a pleasant stay. All the rooms are well designed, the bedrooms and kitchen are fully loaded for the needs as a regular home. More than the pictures shown in the property listing the home exceeded the expectation and was very clean. Elizabeth, the property owner was very prompt in answering any questions. When compare to other listings near by, for the features and number of occupancy the price quoted for this home is the best.
Two thumbs up and we would definitely return back !!

Lots of Space.
We were a group of 10 adults. We loved having the two different sections of the house so the night owls didn't disrupt everyone else. The place was clean. We didn't have weather for the river but it was in a great location. Great hiking within 2 miles of the property.

Truly amazing!
Our stay was absolutely perfect! Elizabeth was attentive before we arrived and her home did not disappoint. We had 12 adults and 5 children and we never felt like we were too crowded. The homes are huge and can accommodate everyone’s needs! The deck was beyond plentiful, offering hours of play, stories, dinners and laughs. The best part is by far the river. SO kid friendly and CLEAN! The water was crystal clear and perfect. Deeper spots for swimming yet still shallow enough for 10 month olds to play without fear. Can not say enough good things about this home, already trying to plan our trip for next year! Thank you Elizabeth!

Vacationland Gem!!
This place was AWESOME!! Loved the setup with 3 separate apartments for our own little groups. Very spacious - more than enough room to spread out, even with visitors stopping in and out the whole time. Everything was available that we could have needed to keep us going for the week (trash bags, dishwasher liquid, all the little stuff you don’t think to pack!) Owner was excellent in communicating all the details and updates to us, she was just wonderful to work with!!
Swimming was amazing - the river was quite low during our visit but still plenty of water holes for swimming and shallower areas for our kids to splash around in. Sandy spots to play in various areas, and lots of room for chairs or to lay out. We had kids ages 4-9 there and all were very happy with the river (as well as us adults!) While there was plenty to do and see nearby, we ended up abandoning our plans to travel around and just stayed at the house exploring and floating in the river instead. We tied up our floats down by the river each night so we didn’t have to haul them back and forth all the time. River is a short walk down nicely cleared trails through the woods.
Back porch is lovely for grilling, meals, and sitting by the fire. Plenty of seating! Enormous backyard for everyone to play in - the dogs included! Despite being on a large road, the house is still extremely private, and the noise from it wasn’t bothersome.
I really can’t say enough about this home, and we truly enjoyed our week there so much!! Very highly recommended!!

Relaxing vacation in lovely home
My family (14 adults) thouroughly enjoyed this beautiful rental. It was a perfect choice during the present health situation. The home has 2 full units and a studio so social distancing was possible. The home was immaculate and the grounds and the river were beautiful and provided hours of fun (kayaking, tubing, swimming). The deck is enormous and allowed all 14 of us (plus 2 dogs) to spend almost all our time outdoors. The owner, Bette, was wonderful and so easy to communicate with.

Long Overdue Family Vacation
The property owner Bette couldn’t have been nicer, communication was a breeze. House was perfect, beautiful and as advertised. Location is spot on for tons to do. Finally had some well deserved family time. Caught the river just after a storm and had a blast. Thank you again Bette for helping to make this happen, we’d love to come back!
