5BR Ski house - winter weeks just added! 3 miles south of downtown Bethel

This 5 bedroom home was built in 2000, and has caretaker in a portion of the barn. The inside is clean, spacious, and comfortable. The kitchen is very big with a bar area that seats 4 comfortably and a large custom kitchen table that seats 10.

There are acres of property to roam on. 6 acres of land is across the street from the home alongside the pond . There is vegetation (trees and blueberry bushes) right up to the waters edge, with a nice dock area. You must cross the street to get to the dock area. Behind the house, there are some rugged trails and logging roads to roam around on. The logging roads were last used during the 2015 winter, so there should be some fairly open snowshoeing right on the property. The White Mountain National Forest is just to the south accessible near Pattee Brook Marsh and the Albany Notch Trail.

Great Location
The Pond is clean and refreshing. The House is in a great central location to visit many places in Maine. I wish we had 2 weeks as we didn't make it to the Coast this time. We'll have to go back.

Relaxing Vacation
Our favorite part of this VRBO is it easily accommodates large groups and the pond access. I grew up vacationing on this pond and it never disappoints. Jim is quick to respond to any questions and he has done some nice updates with appliances and internet. We'll be back I'm sure.

A great stay
A well-outfitted place, convenient to Bethel and the White Mountains. We were five adults, but the house easily accommodates more than twice that many. The large kitchen, dining table and living room would provide ample space for a larger group to gather. The lake is bit shallow for active swimming, but the water was refreshing and canoeing was pleasant. The owner, Jim, is pleasant and accommodating.

Great place to stay for Sunday River
Great house, clean upon arrival and the owner Jim is very responsive and easy to communicate with. Plenty of room and beds for our party of 12, and the hot tub was much appreciated after a long day of being outside in the 7 degree weather. WIfi worked well, washer/dryer were also useful to have between multiple days of skiing. About 15 minutes driving time to Sunday River. Very happy with our stay and would book again for a similar trip

Perfect spot for a big group
We stayed here for my buddy’s bachelor party weekend. We had a big group of guys, so having 10 beds was great. The location is great, just a 5 minute ride into downtown Bethel. Nice pond directly across the street from the house too! The communication with the owner, Jim, was excellent and his caretaker lives in another house on the property, but you didn’t even know he was there. Overall great experience, will definitely book this house again in the future.

Excellent Family Vacation
The house was large enough for all 11 of us with our 3 dogs. Plenty of space around the kitchen table as well. The pond is clean and refreshing. We spent a lot of time there swimming, padddle boarding and boating. There is a lot to do in the nearby towns and White Mountains. Screwauger Falls is a favorite with our kids who are adult kids now!

A nice location and homey stay
I would like to say first that the owner was incredibly responsive and helpful, even giving us a local garage to take care of an repair need for one of our vehicles. Plenty of space for everyone in the house. Hot tub was pristine. The dock on the pond sunk a bit, but didn't impede usage. just a gorgeous view on the pond. Close to markets, stores, and restaurants. A good experience for our family staying here.

Close to Sunday river !
This home is close to Sunday river. It took 15 mins. It was has a large kitchen area which is great for my group of 10 people. Hot tub was nice and someone cleaned it every morning. Plenty of dishes, pots/pans, cutlery. Only thing it needs more are bigger spoons for soup. Thank you Jim !

We loved it
12 of us stayed at this home. Everyone loved it. We had a toddler, 2 pre teens, 3 teenagers and the rest were adults. There was enough room for all of us. The beds upstairs were very comfortable. The beds in the 2 bedrooms downstairs were not good...that was my only complaint. The location was great, however the GPS did not work in the area. Make sure you print out the directions. We did so much in the area and never had enough time to use the pond. We loved Sunday River, lots to do even in the summer time. You must visit Step Falls not too far from Sunday River, absolutely beautiful falls. Will I rent this place again? You better believe I would. Whenever I had a question, the owners were a phone call away. Thank you for letting us use your home. Again, we all loved it. -Diana in Boston, MA

Awesome Spot for Big Group
We had a bachelor party and the location and house could not have been more perfect. Plenty of beds (slept 13 guys very comfortably), the pond was right across the street and there was plenty of room to grill and hang out outside. Couldn’t recommend this place anymore!

Amazing place
Had a bachelor party for my friend and 10 others and this property was perfect. Clean, well stocked, and a 15 second walk from a great spot on the pond. The hot tub was always in top shape and was great for relaxing after a day in the pond. Would stay again if I’m ever in the area.

The outdoor space is amazing with the fire pit and hot tub! The kitchen gave us plenty of space for sharing meals and playing games. We splashed and floated in the pond. This place provided plenty of hand soap, dish soap, trash bags, towels(bath&beach), toilet paper and paper towels. The in house laundry was a major plus with the pond right there! Overall we were very happy with our stay!
