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!

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

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.

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!

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.

spacious clean and accommodating. wish I had more time to be able to sit by the river and read a good book!

The property was good big spaces yard and there a beautiful creek in the back. The house it very cozy The owner is very helpful and is quick to reply.

We had a great week swimming, fishing and playing in the large yard! Plenty of room to spread out. Would stay again

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.

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!

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.

Could have been a little cleaner but pets were allowed. Kids absolutely loved the river. All and all a great experience.

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.

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 !!

Checking process was very easy. Lots of room for everyone and easy access to the river and the downtown area. Owner answered all our questions in a timely manner. Enjoyed the walk to the farmers stand next door.

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.

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!

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!!

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.

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!

This rental has it all. Upon arrival the house was clean, cozy and surprisingly a quiet location even though it was near a road. The house was 3 separate little apartments which allowed our friends and family to be able to rest or wind down from all the craziness during the day, if needed. AC's provided along with fans kept the upstairs as well as down stairs cool during the hot days. Beds were comfortable. The lawn area provided plenty of space for all of our kids, dogs and families to do activities. The kids enjoyed having BBQ's, having smores by the fire, and swimming in the river that was a short walk from the home. There were stores, hiking areas to visit and waterfalls all within a short drive. I've been to several rentals but you will be surprised at how much towels, supplies like charcoal, tin foil, extra linings, candles, gloves, mask, lots of pans to cook and the list goes on that other renters do not include. Most of all, Elizabeth was so accommodating from our first conversation on the phone. You can tell by her personality, friendliness and the overall cleanliness of the home, supplies and toys provided and the list goes on that it's clear she cares about the families she rents to are well taking care of. Well be back. Thank you for making sure that are stay was a great vacation.

The house is perfectly designed with three separate sections that can be flexibly used for separate groups or all one big group. We were traveling with kids of all different ages and they really enjoyed having the studio apartment space as well as the individual family sides. The river area has a lot of shade so can be more chilly/buggy than other local ponds for swimming, but my boys loved being able to do their rafting and kayaking and I loved having them and I protected corner of the river for safety. Being at the back of the property meant that we could just run up to the house if we forgot something or if it started to rain. The town is small but has everything you might need for eating out, stocking up, or getting ice cream. The road in front of the house is busier than I realised, but the backyard is like a haven, with a huge deck and a ton of space. Very private and comfortable, would recommend to anyone!

We just stayed at this property with ten people (7 adults and 3 kids) and had plenty of space for everyone and then some. The house and property are beautiful. The kids and dog loved exploring the river out back down the paths and fishing when the water was higher after a rainy day. The outdoor adventure place down the street was perfect for renting a canoe and very helpful with advice on where to go with it. We explored step falls one day, Santa’s village another day, spent a day fishing, and enjoyed the property the rest of our week. Only downside was how close to the highway/main road the house is, made us a bit nervous with the kids. There’s plenty of room outback for them to roam though and we never had any issues.
