We loved our stay in Bethel. The house is great — well laid out for a family of 4, and we loved the fenced yard. The kitchen is well equipped. We also loved being so close to town - it was easy to shoot out to the bakery in the morning for treats, and close to Sunday River. The owner was very responsive.

The property is just a short drive or bike ride to the village of Bethel Maine. We loved the proximity to endless hiking trails and wonderful roads to bike on. The town has great restaurants and a bakery. The kitchen had everything we needed for our monthlong stay and was very functional with a stove that has a center grill. The beds were comfortable, and we liked the rainfall showerhead.

Disregarding price gouging and false claims, what is downright criminal and shockingly dangerous is the unclean, unsafe fire that pumped back carbon monoxide throughout the cottage due to not up to code safety standards. Reported. They will either fix this issue or be removed to spare future guests from my experience.

Family Getaway

We had plenty of room as a family of four. The stove has a center skillet which was great for making pancakes or toasting tortillas. The house is less than 15 minutes from Sunday River which made it easy to get to the mountain in the morning. This was a great place to stay!

Comfortable and pleasant stay

We enjoyed the cottage as it had everything we needed to prepare meals including pots and pans, spices, a lovely kitchen, towels and linens, shampoo and body wash in the shower. We loved the open concept and close proximity to downtown Bethel. The fenced-in yard was so convenient for the dogs. Hosts Adam and Suz were great, responsive and helpful. We would stay again!

Relaxing stay at convenient location

This was a great place to stay, close to downtown Bethel, for our family with 2 toddlers and a dog. Yard was completely fenced in, and there were some toys and a high chair provided that really helped too. Kitchen had all the pots and pans and spices etc that we needed. Beds were comfy. Thanks for letting us stay!

Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at this Bethel, ME cottage. Highlights - clean, well stocked kitchen and bathrooms, comfortable king sized bed, large TV, fireplace and fenced in yard. Only a 15 minute drive to Sunday River. Close to many restaurants in Bethel. I had a question about snow removal and owner responded right away on a Saturday night. We hope to return!

Great for me and my dog

This was a very comfortable location and bigger than I expected. Unfortunately the place hadn't been cleaned when I arrived at 4 pm on a Monday, but Suz was super responsive and got the cleaner there. I did have to leave again and drive around with my dog for a while while cleaners came, but the DID come and I was able to be back within 2 hours. That's why I put 4 on check in. I expect it won't happen again though. The upstairs loft was cool and I wished I had more folks to play games. Loved the gas fireplace and so did my dog- I put his bed there. I want to give 5 across the board, but the loud heating system kicking on and off next to the living room and no microwave detracted a bit for me. Coffee maker also a bit challenging - couldn't make a full pot - but maybe needed better filters.

Cute Bethel Cottage

We stayed here for two nights with our labs and it was perfect for us! There’s a fully fenced in yard with plenty of room for fetch. It’s clear that the property has been newly renovated, and it was super cute and clean. The owners were also very responsive and easy to get in touch with. This property is very close to downtown Bethel, and a short drive to Sunday River. We'll definitely be looking to book in the winter!
