The second bedroom has a queen bed and a set of twin bunk beds, also with plenty of space. You bring your own sheets, but all other bedding is there including pillows. (I will provide sheets upon request for an additional fee). The full bath has an oversized shower with a seat for comfort. All towels are included. The eat in kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher, microwave, keurig, and all other comforts of home. The large living room has comfortable furniture and an open concept.

This home is very quiet and peaceful after a long day of hiking, shopping, site seeing, biking, skiing, riding or snowmobiling. Cable and wifi are included.

The home sits above a two car garage. We use the garage by entering via the garage door opener giving you a private entrance thru the hallway. We park our cars in the garage (as well as our snowblower) and may need to enter during your stay, so you may hear the garage door open periodically.

No pets and no smokers allowed.

Thank You, Tracey and Paul

Sweet place!

We thought this was a perfect place: reasonable distance to Sunday River but away from the crowds. House is as pictured! You enter from the ground level and walk upstairs, with the entry way being a great place to leave all your snow gear to dry out. Kitchen was fully stocked, so we were able to cook dinner. Would def book again!

Comfy cozy cabin!

What a beautiful location on Howard pond!! The cabin was very comfortable and cozy! The whiplash weather made it challenging for outdoor activities but loved just relaxing in the comfy living room. I loved walking in the neighborhood and would love to return in the summer! I loved exploring Bethel! Thanks

Great cozy place for ski trip

We had a great time staying at Tracey and Paul's place over the Christmas holiday. The location was fine - a very reasonable drive to the mountain at Sunday River. The house was equipped with everything we needed and Tracey and Paul were very friendly and responsive to all of our questions. It is a very rural area so be prepared to drive a bit in order to get to restaurants or food shopping but that didn't really bother us. Highly recommend!

Amazing chalet in the mountains with all the amenities

We absolutely loved this place and will be back. Everything was better than advertised: 1. The place was fully stocked with all utensils and non-perishables that you would need 2. It was about 15min from Sunday River (where we were skiing) 3. Paul and Tracey are among the nicest people we have met Will definitely be back up there

The house did not seem ready for rental.

We were lucky to have my son and his family on the pond. The place above the garage did not have much privacy only bc the owner has a house on the same property. Beginning had lots of company and neighbors walking up the driveway as a cut through. Pretty sure the rental had been vacant for a little while. The first night the bathroom was swarmed with little flies from the drains not being used. They did respond immediately the next day when I told them but I still had to buy insect spray to get rid of them and run the water down the drain the next night. The dust on the blinds and base boards caused dust mites so we were getting bitten. Parking was an issue because the 2 car garage is always used. We didn’t park far away by any means. Just had to check when they were coming in with their RV so we could be out of the way. For privacy purposes, pond view and pond access I would not rent again. Donna

I had conversations with this renter about the house being located on the back lot of our property before she booked. The rental is at least 100 yards away from our home with plenty of privacy, and she was aware we use the garage. She rented during mid summer on a pond and was disturbed by people being around. Renters had stayed in the home for 10 days before her arrival and had no issues at all. There were NO flies in the house. What she saw were no-see-ums. They came in the house at night because she left the bathroom window open and the light on. We addressed this with her the following morning and she had no further issues. There is plenty of parking on the property. We gave her a 3 day notice that we would need her car moved for 15 minutes when we returned with our RV. (We were also gone for 3 days during her stay). There are no dust mites and the home is impeccably clean. She probably had mosquito bites which itched at night. Her son stayed at a different rental we have on the pond and his screen door was ripped and needed replacing. Maybe she was upset that we talked about charging him for that damage and she decided to write a poor review. (We never did charge him). Although we try very hard, you just can’t please everyone. Have a wonderful day. 😃

Great ski weekend

My husband, myself and our 2 young kids had the best time at this cozy cabin in the woods. We skied Sunday River which was just a 20 minute drive up the road and the kids were always eager to go home to the “cozy cottage”. It was perfect for our family of 4 and I was amazed at how spotless the place was. Tracey and Paul were lovely to work with. Would definitely go back!

About the host

Hosted by Tracey Moir

Host profile image
I built this home on the back lot of my lake front log cabin. Located in a four season area, it is a great vacation spot. Sunday River Ski Reaort is minutes away. There is easy walkable access to a public beach on Howard Pond. Views from the porch are spectacular.

Why they chose this property

Having a home in a four season resort area has been a dream for me, and i would love to share this experience with you.

What makes this property unique

This an easy 12 minute drive to Sunday River Ski Resort, yet provides the quiet evening you deserve at home. The balcony allows you to enjoy your cocktail outside for total relaxation while enjoying the tranquil environment.
It's a one minute walk to the town beach during summer months. Great swimming and kayaking. Trout and salmon can be caught in Howard Pond. The foliage in the fall is spectacular.
