Bethel Gem

We had the pleasure of staying at this home for the month of February where we used as home base for a ski house. Little did we know about how much more it was. Its scenic location, breathtaking views and sunrise/sunsets are what calendars are made from. The house was modern, very well kept, had everything we needed to make it feel like home. Very clean, just perfect for what we were looking for. The drive to the mountain was only 15-20 min pending traffic, and downtown Bethel even closer. The only thing better than the house was the host, who always was available and checked in regularly on our stay and if we had any needs. 5 starts all around. Would definitely stay here again!

If Perfection Was a Place….

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!

Memorable long weekend

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!

Amazing views, quiet & close to Sunday river

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.

Just a wonderful week

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.

A Top Experience!

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 :)

Enchanting respite

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.
