About this house rental

Welcome to the Ursa Major House. This house was acquired in the spring of 2022. All furnishings and hot tub are brand new. Every bedroom has had a mini split unit installed, providing each room with heat and air-conditioning. The kitchen/living room also has a mini split unit. This system is additional to the baseboard heating system found throughout the home.

This 4 bedroom and 3 bath house with private wooded yard is your perfect year round getaway. Minutes away from Sunday River resort, Mt. Abrams, Bethel center, Cross country skiing, snowmobile and ATV trails. Amenities include a fully stocked kitchen mudroom, game room, hot tub, fire pit, 2 car garage and air conditioning.

This is one of the only properties in Bethel that comes with garage access. Guests will be provided with a virtual garage door opener via an app during their stay. I have had two full size trucks parked inside, so it is definitely large. Keep your vehicle out of the elements. No need to clean snow off of your car before heading off to the mountain to ski. 1-2 cars can be parked in the garage, depending on the size of the vehicles.

Distances to many local attractions:

2 miles to Bethel center - Groceries, Shops, Restaurants and much more.

8.7 miles to Sunday River

8.6 miles to Mt. Abrams

8/10th’s of a mile to the nearest snowmobile trail / ATV Trail

My family had a wonderful time in this house. The house is very well appointed, we loved the fact that towels were provided for use of the hot tub, this is never the case in most places. The house is decorated nicely and made us feel right at home. I highly recommend this property and I will definitely stay here again, Thank you Trevor.

Stayed to ski with out family. House was very clean, well appointed, and Trevor is amazingly responsive. Trevor checked in several times while we were there and answered questions immediately. Great location for Sunday River and close to restaurants in Bethel.

We happened to rent during a week of terrible storms and flooding. Under these extenuating circumstances, Trevor was supportive and helpful. The place is set up perfectly for a family and we would definitely go there again.

Trevor was a fantastic host and super accommodating. The house is stunning and comes fully stocked with everything you could think of. The locations was amazing as it’s 15 mins or less from Sunday river and even closer to town and stores. Definitely coming back next year!

Great ski vacation with family. Trevor clearly put a lot of care and effort into designing and stocking the house- from games and entertainment to kitchen necessities and more! No detail was too small and nothing was neglected. We had plenty of room and everything we needed. Thanks for a great vacation and we hope to be back soon!

One of the nicest and well equipped VRBOs we have stayed in. The owner was easy to communicate with and very responsive. This house worked out great for a Sunday River ski weekend.

Trevor was a great host - would definitely stay here again. I’ve been to my fair share of rentals and they tend to provide the bare minimum (exactly 2 trash bags, 1 roll of paper towel, 2 rolls of toilet paper)… but Trevor made sure everything was thought of! It made our trip so much easier knowing certain household items were available for us to use. The house was perfect and beautiful - well kept with a homey feeling. You can tell they care about the experience for guests. Trevor made himself very available for any questions we had. Overall we had a great time and would absolutely try to book here again.

My family had a wonderful stay in this beautiful and comfortable home. There was more than enough space for all six of us and a few more would definitely work comfortably. Having four bedrooms and three full bathrooms was ideal. The kitchen was fully stocked with all of the pots and pans, dishes, glassware, utensils, and serving ware needed for cooking and serving, and all of the small appliances needed as well – Keurig, regular coffee maker, toaster oven, blender, etc. We were there on Christmas and were able to cook as easily as if we were at our own home. The home was decorated for Christmas as well which was a lovely touch. The game room in the basement was stocked with many board games for all ages. Downtown Bethel was just a few minutes down the road and there were restaurants / places for takeout there as well as in Newry / Sunday River area. After skiing at Sunday River, getting into the hot tub back at the house was perfect. The large mudroom was great for storing ski equipment and the gear dryer was awesome. Communication with the owner was easy and he was available quickly if we had a question. I would highly recommend staying here and would definitely rent again!
