I would 100% recommend. The view alone is amazing! Great place to unwind and get away from it all. Scott's place is super clean and comfortable. He even met us during check in to give us a tour of the house. The house is close Bethel and everything the region has to offer.

This would be it! The views are unrivaled and the architecture of the home highlights the beauty of the nature that surrounds it. We had a blast tubing down the river and taking quiet walks around the property. Scott is a kind and communicative host. Our stay was magical. Thank you!

I cannot say enough good things about this amazing home and wonderful owners. The location is a perfect distance to summer hiking, kayaking on the river, a community garden, great places to eat, buy food, local shopping, Sunday River and even the local airport. And if none of those appeal to you, simply spending time at the house is relaxing enough. For me, the home itself was my kind of dream home. The set up makes you feel comfortable right away, and the house is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. The owners are incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating, and made sure I was settled and comfortable for the stay. I can say that I was relaxed and fully enjoyed every second of the completely stress free stay, and I hope that I will be able to return many more times in the future!

This home and location are spectacular, and our host, Scott, was welcoming and kind. There is so much to do in the area, or you could choose to do nothing but enjoy the amazing view from this property all day and it would be time well spent! We did it all! Super clean, exceptionally designed house, with all the conveniences. A favorite thing, aside from the view, was the calm and quiet, both inside the house and outside on the deck and in the yard. We spent 4 days/nights here and I didn't want to leave :)

Our Host Scott was amazing !! He met us at the the house and gave us the tour of the home . He gave us suggestions of restaurants and places to see in the area .One was the Grafton Notch state park which we loved ! The house was beautiful and immaculate and stocked with everything you need for cooking ! The view was amazing of the Androscoggin River and mountains and it was fun to watch all the people Kayaking, and tubing down the river ! The bed was super comfortable ! This was the place we needed to get away from it all as it was so private and quiet ! We have found our gem ! We would certainly re-book ! Thank you for everything Scott hope to be back next year !

We had a wonderful vacation and were thrilled with the location we picked. Scott (the homeowner) greeted us and showed us around this modern, clean, and efficiently laid out vacation home. The location was perfect for a quiet getaway. We loved the wooded setting with beautiful views of the Androscoggin River and mountains in the distance. The photos are great but it’s more impressive in person. The temperatures were in the 90s during the first several days of our mid-June vacation, and the air conditioning effortlessly kept the home at a consistent comfortable 71 degree temperature. We found several mountain hikes (with shaded trails that made the heat tolerable) and waterfalls nearby that we thoroughly enjoyed. Kayaking on the swift flowing Androscoggin River (including past the home) was an absolute blast. We found downtown Bethel to be close-by and convenient, and we enjoyed trying different restaurants / brew pubs in the area for dinner each evening. My wife and I look forward to returning for a future vacation getaway, maybe a ski trip next! There is so much more to see and do in this spectacular area than we could in just our short five day vacation. Thanks again Scott.

What a Special Place!! Stunning view of the river. Exceptionally clean, modern and well-appointed property. Kitchen had the best and most dishes, utensils, appliances and consumable pantry items of any property we’ve stayed at. The home is a model of energy efficiency and thoughtful design. There was even a desk with a large monitor and river view for our remote work, and a 2nd desk in the one bedroom for conference calls. Home has DSL speed internet and an AT&T signal strong enough for 35 Mbps down, 10 Mbps up hotspot. Scott met us to introduce us to the property and show us around the place that he is deservedly proud of. Excellent communication and the few questions/concerns we had were immediately addressed. We were here for a working ski week - Sunday River was a 15 minute drive with ample mid-week parking close to the lodge. But, we we’re just as happy returning to this property because it was so serene and beautiful! We'll definitely be returning.

Our second stay at Scott's place. His house is by far the nicest VRBO we have ever stayed at. It is appointed with everything we need, Scott leaves breakfast goodies which are much appreciated, and the views of the river from almost every window are spectacular and serene. The house aesthetics are a perfect balance of practical and beautiful. There are nice walks out the door, skiing and hiking is close by, as are restaurants that rival some of Portland's great eateries. The only thing that is difficult when we are there is deciding whether to linger on the couch and watch the meandering river, or head out on an adventure.

Scott was the consummate host- he greeted us at his home to make sure we found our way-we arrived late and in the dark- and proudly showed us all the house's offerings. The house is beautifully appointed and had amazing views of the mountains and Androscoggin River with an abundance of wildlife to watch for. We loved coming back from skiing at Sunday River to a cozy home to cook and share meals together and relax! Thank you- we can't wait to visit again in a different season to see the beauty of Maine!

One of the nicest VRBOs we have ever stayed in. Quiet, stunning views of the river, well appointed and artistically decorated house, great communication with Scott, located close to Bethel's fabulous restaurants and lots of local hiking. It's even nicer than the (already nice) photos. We hope to return soon!

Beautiful property with everything we needed. Scott was very helpful. The beds were more firm than we are used to, but that was the only small negative. View from the house was gorgeous

Our first time in Maine and it was perfect. If you are looking for a beautiful home that offers peace and tranquility, this is the place! The view of the Androscoggin River can be seen from almost every window of the home. The patio also provides a serene environment overlooking the river and woods. We saw wild turkeys with their little ones daily. The home is beautiful inside, exceptionally clean, fully equipped kitchen, and the beds are very comfortable. It is your home away from home. The town of Bethel is only a few miles away and has a wonderful cafe and bakery, grocery store and the ambience of a small home town. You will not be disappointed!

The house was beautiful. It was nice to have the owner there to great us and go over the home. Fantastic views of the river and mountains. Several local places to fish as well as right there at the house. Local places to eat and shop were a bonus as well. Just a very relaxing week. Hope to go again.

This house is amazing!! Through the years we have stayed in at least a dozen VRBO houses and this is the nicest, best furnished and best supplied home we have ever visited. The owner, Scott, walked us through all the details, and there are a few, regarding this home. He was a great host and loves sharing his home. Bethel is a neat NE town with lots to do nearby. Nothing but positive comments from us. The pictures of the home are very accurate, but there is not a picture of a nice deck/patio which is connected to the house overlooking the river.

If one is looking for a peaceful and calming get away, look no further. This lovely house offers a million dollar view and serenity that can't be bought. A fully stocked kitchen makes food preparation a breeze. The tasteful decor, comfortable furnishings, and the location make for a wonderful time in Maine.

Scott and Linda were so kind and gave us the tour of the place when we got there. All the amenities were fantastic and the view was amazing! Very close to the wonderful downtown of Bethel with plenty to do. 10/10 miles hold recommend!!

The house was perfect, with incredible views of the river and mountains. The house was very clean, had nice open spaces, dimmable lights and had everything we needed. Scott was an excellent host. This was a perfect location to explore the Bethel area and the mountains.

This is an amazing place which is right on the river with epic views...the views right off the back porch just never got old. We came up to spend a few dates ATVing in the surrounding area. The decision to stay in a fairly remote location versus an ATV friendly town was one I would make again and again. There wasn’t anything we needed that wasn’t already provided. I appreciated everything Scott did from communication prior to our arrival to the preparation for when we arrived.

Scott has an amazing place on the river. Very beautiful house, quiet and less than 10 minutes from Sunday river skiing. Driveway during mud season can be very muddy so need a 4 wheel drive.

We had a wonderful week in February at this property. After a warm greeting from the owner, we enjoyed the view of the river and mountains from the main room. Waking up each morning to that scene was a great start to each new day. The design of the house is thoughtful with bedrooms separated by the main room and it is provisioned expertly for renters to feel comfortable while away from home. There is plenty of room to relax or work in this peaceful setting.

We stayed at Scott's house for 10 days and had a great time. The house is located just 15 minutes from Sunday River Ski resort. The view from the living room is amazing. You can watch wild life, the ever changing river and the sunset above the nearby mountains.
We loved the small details like fruits and breakfast items. I love to cook and I found everything I needed. You feel like you are invited in a friend' s house.
Between the WIFI and the cell phone coverage my husband could do his Zoom calls without any issues.
We visited during a record cold week end ( -21 degree with a 40 mph winds) and the heating system kept the house warm.
Scott is a wonderful host, he replied immediately to our questions and made sure everything was going well. He was very accommodating with our check out time. Thank you Scott. We will be back.

It's impossible to start talking about Scott's home without the view. I've previously stayed in some stunning places: a charming spot overlooking Marienplatz in Munich, across the street from iconic temples and castles in Japan, by the ocean over Cape Cod, and in the midst of the rainforests in Thailand. This tops them all. Simply stated, Scott's place provides a sight that can't be beat.
Scott also keeps the home impeccably clean. Everything is spotless, and the interior is decorated to be modern and stylish while still being both cozy and practical.
I ended up doing quite a bit of cooking. Scott keeps his kitchen well stocked!! He left us some food to eat as well, which was much appreciated. The kitchen is well equipped, and although I did miss both my food processor and my food scale, he had everything else we needed including cooking supplies and a full stock of spices.
When we arrived, Scott showed us around. His love for the home (which he designed!) is obvious, and he was an attentive, friendly, and helpful host for the duration of our stay.
All in all, i can't overstate how much i enjoyed our visit. I can't wait to come again!!

Everything about renting this house was a pleasure. From communicating with the owner, to how well the house is built and kept. We went for a ski vacation at Sunday River and everything was perfect. Thank you Scott!

The property is as advertised: immaculate in a beautiful, serene, natural location. If you love wildlife including bald eagles, wild turkeys and beavers to name a few, this place is for you. The environment is quiet and evokes a sense of tranquillity. Scott is flexible and generous, providing a home well stocked with supplies as well as a few groceries on arrival. When a personal problem presented itself, Scott offered support, a kindness that made all the difference. My only disappointment is that I could not stay longer.

The experience was wonderful! Scott was a very gracious host and very informative regarding the area and its offerings. The house was very clean, comfortable and had amazing river views. All areas, bath, bedroom, living area and especially the kitchen were first rate. We would recommend without hesitation and hope we are able to return.

This is a beautiful home with peaceful surroundings and an awesome view of the river and mountains. Clean, modern, fully equipped with whatever you need. Scott was one of the most responsive and generous VRBO hosts that I have ever encountered. We would be happy to visit again!

My husband and I absolutely loved everything about this property! The quiet location, the amazing and ever-changing view of the river, the home itself which was gorgeous: open, clean lines, filled with light, and super comfortable; and the ability to explore so many sites in the area! We were even fortunate enough to witness a bald eagle land and roost for the night twice, as well as see it take off one morning and fly up the river!
Scott was a welcoming and informative host, who met us at the property to go over everything and even left us breakfast goodies in the well-stocked home away from home! We miss it already!! Thank you Scott, we will be back again!

Beautiful home atop the Androscoggin River. The view from the living room is amazing. We loved watching the fog burn off the river in the mornings and the gorgeous sunsets in the evenings. Scott is a fantastic host who takes immaculate care of his property. We can't wait to book this property again!

The pictures do not do this property justice. The location is secluded with stunning views of the Androscoggin River and mountains. Plenty of wildlife (deer, eagles, ducks, oh and of course the people tubing and kayaking down the river). The house is extremely well designed and constructed with plenty of space to be together or enjoy some alone time. The owners provide everything a guest could need including breakfast items which was a nice touch. Close to everything Bethel has to offer this is a real gem.

We've rented a number of homes on VRBO and other sites over the years but this rental takes top place! You couldn't ask for a more well-kept home or better host! Scott reached out to us well before check-in to go over everything and was an exemplar of communication. While the photos are more than accurate, the first-hand experience was even BETTER! By our 2nd day we were already conspiring as to when we can make a return in the years to come! It is so well-stocked, everything works, and the view is spectacular! We were even treated to a Saturday evening fireworks show from somewhere just across the river and given the view and secluded nature of the location we felt it was just for us! The only people we saw were the several tubers, kayakers, canoers, etc traveling by on the sleepily coasting river. The deck is perfectly positioned to enjoy the landscape and wildlife! On top of that, we were left breakfast munchies for the first morning there, which was a nice touch! If you want peace and quiet, this is your next stay. Thank you Scott!

What a fantastic week long stay! Scott, greeted us the first evening and showed us all the details to enjoy our stay. So thoughtful to have breakfast items available for weary travelers!
Clean as a whistle! We loved watching the wildlife and even saw a doe and her fawn swim across the river!
The house is amazing! Beds so comfortable and did I mention the view😄😂!
We enjoyed several day trips to surrounding touristy locations. Wish we could have spent more time enjoying the house! Don’t hesitate booking!

Great place with privacy and the best views around. Definitely coming back!
