Our stay at the house was interrupted when a sump pump in the basement of the home caught on fire. We were awoken to a fire alarm in the middle of the night, and needed to get everyone out of the house immediately. The fire department came and put out the fire, but the house was left with a terrible (and unsafe) smell. The fire department stated that windows needed to stay open for 2 days. It was the middle of winter, and I did not want my kids breathing the toxic chemicals in the air from the fire (nor did I want to deal with open windows). As a result, we decided to end our vacation early, which was a real disappointment. The home owner was reasonable at first, but clearly wanted us to complete our stay. She was in Florida, and didn't seem to understand the interruption that had occurred fully. I asked for a refund, and while she did refund me partially, she clearly did not understand our perspective, and instead did all she could do keep as much of her money as she could. The house is fine. Not great, particularly the lack of bathroom space and no laundry, but in general you do get what you see, and the location is awesome. The owner was pleasant to deal with up until there was an issue. Once there was an issue, I thought she proved to be selfish and not very reasonable. I know she will refute this, which is fine, but it is honestly how I felt, so rent with caution. They clearly don't properly maintain this aging house, and if there is an issue, she won't deal with it as you woudl hope/expect.

The property has an extraordinary view of Sunday River. We watched the Christmas Eve fireworks from the front porch! The location is also great - less than 5 minutes to the parking area in Southridge Lodge. There is plenty of room for large groups to spread out with a den/study, living room, large dining room as well as TV room with nice gas log fireplace. The Ping Pong table was a big hit. Vintage farmhouse with lots of charm. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

This is a lovely home. We stayed for 3 nights. The location is wonderful. 5 mins from the lifts with a great view of the mountain. Plenty of space for a family group. Very clean and well maintained.

My friends & I stayed at this house for a ski weekend & it was perfect. The house was large enough for our group of 11, plenty of bedrooms, it was clean and conveniently located minutes from the mountain. The host, Julie, was very communicative as well. The only thing the house doesn’t have is laundry. We got stuck in a very rainy/wet ski day so drying our gear was necessary. The fireplace worked wonderfully & the grand summit hotel is conveniently located 5 minutes away so we were able to use their laundry services as well. Overall, a great experience & would definitely stay again!

What a wonderful home for a family ski long weekend! Julie was fabulous to work with and answered all of my questions quickly! The house was so spacious and it had everything we needed. We prepared meals with ease as the kitchen was fully equipped and had had plenty of seating for meals. The bedrooms were spacious and and beds so comfortable. The rec room they offer is equipped with a ping pong table and plenty books and games for kids! The gas fireplace was so wonderful after a long day of skiing. The views from this rental are spectacular and the location to Sunday River only a 3 minute drive. We didn’t want the weekend to end! Thank you Julie and Frank. We will be back!!!

I can’t say enough about how great Julie was to communicate with about our stay. I had so many questions about the booking process and she was always standing by to assist. Lovely property and even better host!

This property was only a couple minutes away from the mountain and had an awesome view of the slopes from the farmer's porch out front. There was plenty of room for the 12 of us to sleep comfortably and hang out. The owner is also highly communicative and was incredibly easy to work with which made the experience that much better. Highly recommend!

We had a great time at the property. Everything was just as it was in the pictures including the spectacular view of the mountains you wake up to. We could walk down to the Sunday River at the edge of the property or drive to several activities nearby. Our hosts were ever so helpful and answered our questions with utmost sincerity. Plus the location was so peaceful and serene. We had a lovely time and would love to come back. Thanks much

Great venue and location for all of our guests!

We really enjoyed our 5 nights at the Mountain Home, and Julie and Frank really were a pleasure to meet and get to know! The home is historic, so you should expect some idiosyncrasies, but it is very enjoyable. The kitchen is well stocked with things you may need, and we cooked breakfast and dinners and the girls baked brownies. Frank set up a grill for us and we did steaks one evening. There is a nice porch in the front with rocking chairs and this was our favorite hang-out spot in the evenings. They have an apple orchard in the back with string lights -- looks like a magical fairyland at night and a fun place to hang out! We played a lot of ping-pong and watched a nice movie on the TV in the living room. The only downside for us was that the wi-fi speed is very slow and I had trouble using my laptop for Teams meetings. The cell reception is pretty decent and we were able to work around by using mobile devices. Finally, Julie and Frank are very wonderful, warm people. Julie was nice enough to do some laundry for our kids who had just come from summer camp with duffel bags full of dirty clothes! They are highly responsive and wonderful to spend time with -- in our short stay we really hit it off!

My husband and I, along with 11 of our friends, stayed on the property for our wedding ceremony, also located on the property. The farmhouse and suite were clean and well-stocked with kitchen amenities (cookware, tableware, etc.) and complimentary bathroom products (soaps, towels, etc.). The atmosphere was very inviting and the interior decor and ambiance was absolutely amazing - very appropriate to the environment with many personal touches. Julie and Frank were kind, helpful, and gracious hosts. We recommend renting this property!

We recently returned from our stay at the Mountain House and are still reveling in all the memories we created surrounded by our family and friends. The Mountain House was the located we chose for our daughter's June 19 wedding. Have grown up in Maine and continuing to spend summers there with our children, a Maine wedding was a dream come true. Since the entire wedding party lives in Minnesota, sought out locations that offered lodging so we could spend our time together without being separated in hotel rooms. The Lodge and the Farmhouse on this pristine property were immaculate and allowed our party of 18 to enjoy time together while also providing quiet spaces for everyone to get away. The property owners were simply the best from day one! They were accommodating when we needed to drop off wedding supplies in order to make room in the car to pick our kids up from the airport which made our day worry free! The rooms and property were just as they appear in the pictures, clean, comfortable, and spacious. As an early riser, I spent mornings on the front porch looking at the spectacular mountain view with a hot cup of coffee. As a frequent traveler, I cannot speak enough about the owners and their communication with us and willingness to make our stay everything we needed and wanted. Thank you Frank and Julie for providing the perfect place for use to celebrate the marriage of our daughter and the end of Covid!!

We had a lovely time here . Frank and Julie were amazing hosts! They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. This is a lovely farmhouse with comfortable beds and a spectacular view of the ski mountains. This place is surrounded by beautiful trails and has private access to the river which made the trip even more interesting. We would love to come back here again!

My husband and I are beyond thrilled with our experience at mountain house on sunday river. Julie and Frank are extremely friendly and Julie helped turn my wedding dreams into reality. From the moment we booked the venue Julie was communicative. When we got to the house the days before our wedding we were blown away. There was plenty of room and Julie and Frank made everything welcoming and homey. The views of the mountains are spectacular and the venue itself was beautiful. I had numerous guests say to me that it was one of the most beautiful places they had ever been for a wedding. We are already missing it and hope to find ourselves there again in the future for a ski weekend or just to say hello. Highly recommended.

Really loved our stay at the Mountain House. Frank and Julie were great and the location was stunning. Would definitely recommend!!

We had a small group together and had a great time. Our hosts were lovely and put a lot effort to make sure we had everything that we needed (and more). Would highly recommend!

We had our wedding at the Mountain House with a beautiful venue an beautiful views - it was truly breath taking. Julie an Frank made it such an easy process all the way around!

We had a great time staying at mountain house for a 3 day ski weekend - very close to the slopes, plenty of space for everyone, comfortable beds, and ping pong to wash it all down.

Ideal location for those looking to ski with a group at Sunday River. The house was spacious (enormous for those of us coming from city life), thoughtfully decorated and functional! Julie was incredibly responsive to any questions that we had before and during our stay. Would 100% recommend to others and would stay here again in a heartbeat if we are lucky enough to find it available for our next trip.

Our family had an incredible time visiting. Clean, well suited for a weekend visit with all the amenities one could need. Looking forward to the next opportunity to visit!

Beautiful farmhouse with a spectacular view. Felt like an Inn/B&B, lots of space. Close to the mountain on a scenic country road. Julie was very responsive when we had questions. Some other feedback to add is that there could have been more basic cleaning supplies to keep the place clean while in use like a bottle of all- purpose cleaner to wipe down counters and surfaces, a new sponge and a broom to keep the entry sand-free especially in the winter. Some spare lightbulbs would also be useful as there were a couple out in the kitchen. More hooks would also be helpful to hang towels. We were fortunate to have sunny days but the melting snow created puddles in the walkway and freeze at night, so the walkway was a pretty slick sheet of ice. We only had about 5 cups left of ice melt when we arrived. I let Julie know and she sent people right away to refill the tub. But it would be good/safe to level off the walkway to avoid the puddling. Other than that we enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

There were 12 of us and we had more than enough room in the house. House was clean, although there were a ton of lady bugs in one room. Overall had a great time!

This is a great ski house for a family or large group. There were six of us, parents and adult children with partners. There was a huge amount of room for everyone. Julie is an excellent host— when we had freezing rain and the driveway was a sheet of ice and the salt was running low she immediately had more dropped off right away. We have rented through vrbo all over North America. This was one of our best experiences

Charming farmhouse. Loved our stay

In all complete honesty, I cried with joy when me and my fiancé rolled up to the property on our first day. The pictures do not do it justice! The pine cathedral was breathtaking, and the house/lodge had so much space! Completely clean, beautifully decorated, and yet feeling like a home away from home. The barn area had lovely seating arrangements, and the lights in the apple grove were gorgeous at night. Ms. Julie and Frank were welcoming, professional, and fun! They made our stay there completely effortless, and our wedding day was stress free. Genuinely kind and passionate people! I will always treasure the memories of this place, and plan to return one day!

Both houses on the property were absolutely gorgeous. Very clean and welcoming! There were plenty of linens for the weekend and lots of space for our large wedding party. The property also had all the amenities of home. Julie and Frank (the owners) were phenomenal to work with and very up front (in a good way!) with any rules or FYI’s about the property. We really enjoyed our stay and we had MANY compliments on the venue choice for our wedding! An absolutely gorgeous property, inside the houses and out!

Lots of space and super close to Sunday river. Attentive owners. We had a great stay.

Its even better in person. The house has beautiful, classic charm with warm energy. We didn’t want to leave. Very close to the mountain and nightlife. I was secretly hoping for a ‘bad weather stay at home day’ but the slopes were calling from the magnificent view.

The location is perfect. We enjoyed the house very much. The kitchen is very well stocked, there was everything we needed for cooking. We felt super comfortable and very warm in the house despite the freezing temperatures outside. We were a group of two families with children. The house has many areas to sit and relax: the family room by the fireplace was a winner, as well as the cosy living room for the readers in our group. The teenagers loved the playroom with the ping-pong table. All bedrooms are spacious and neat, with very good beddings. Three nights was too short, we will come back!

The house was huge with tons of bedrooms and places to hang out together as a group. The large dining room table was a great addition. The best part of the house was the view of the mountain, we watched the New Year’s Eve fireworks from the front porch.

Perfect location for weddings.

Julie is a great host! This is my second stay on the Mountain House property. A few years ago my group stayed in the other home on the property. Both are beautiful homes with lots of character. They are conveniently in close proximity to Sunday River - just a couple minutes drive. And the view from the house can’t be beat! We could watch the NYE fireworks from the comfort of the house! Thanks for letting us stay! We hope to be back again someday!
