Great stay but a few things to know
Overall, we did enjoy our stay and would return! A few notes: There seemed to be a small bug problem. I'm not sure if the house hadn't been in use in a while. There were a few dead flies when we arrived, and several I noticed in the lamp next to the bed, as well as in the door to the porch. There were a ton of ladybugs and a few ants (I think I saw 4 or 5 different ones in the bathroom on the first floor by the bedroom). I wish we had known the heat was down so far. Unfortunately, we were traveling a bit of a distance and didn't arrive until after 9pm and it took so long to warm up the house that we all had trouble sleeping that first night. It would be great to get some kleenex for the house and I'm not sure if the ice maker was broken or we just couldn't figure out how to make it dispense ice. The water pressure was disappointing. Oh, the mattress on the top floor (the king) was really uncomfortable so that was also a bummer. There was a slightly musty smell but I am very sensitive to odors and I'm not sure it would bother most people. As I mentioned above, we did enjoy our stay and would return! The house was well appointed (more big coffee mugs would be great though!), cozy, and well-decorated. Good games, lots of cute touches. My son loved the basketball game.

Perfect Cabin in the Woods!
This cabin had everything we needed for a winter getaway. Plenty of towels, room to spread out, loaded kitchen, and cozy fireplace. We enjoyed walking in the woods and were close to town, Sunday River Resort and so much more. We had some issues where the house ran out of propane but the owner was fantastic and got someone to come out that day to fill us back up! Thank you for an amazing stay, we are already discussing our return!

Spacious and in good shape.
Inside was spacious and in good shape. Outside had lots of overgrown weeds. We very much enjoyed our canoe trip down the Androscoggin river and hikes in the area.

Beautiful home but saying the house was air conditioned was a stretch.
We arrived at the home and we loved it, it was beautiful, clean and exactly how it was described. The description states the home is air conditioned. It had a small unit in the kitchen and one in the upstairs bedroom. The house was 87 degrees when we arrived, we put the ac on in the kitchen and it barely cooled it down. The unit was much too small to keep up for that size room. The couple downstairs was miserable both nights because of the heat. The couple on the main floor had a fan so that helped somewhat. The house was 87-85 degrees all weekend and that was with windows open. The ac unit in the kitchen froze and was shooting ice out and then we had to shut it off. We called the rental company to let them know what happened Saturday morning. We told them that something needed to be done, perhaps swap out the ac unit for one that worked. She assured us someone would get back to us via text or email. We never heard from anyone. I’m sorry but as beautiful as we found the home, saying that the house is “air conditioned” is woefully inadequate especially during the summer months. Then to add insult to injury no one got back to us after we had a discussion with someone on Saturday morning when the house was a whopping 86 degrees at 9:30a. Unfortunately, due to poor communication on behalf of the management company and how hot it was all weekend we will not be renting this home again.

Beautiful retreat!
Perfect place for our family’s spring break ski week. House feels brand new - nicely furnished and equipped too. Very clean. Quiet spot with a great view and close to skiing. We hope to visit again!

Ski Vacation
I rented this house for a ski vacation with my family. The house has a beautiful view and is immaculate. We loved the open floor plan and the gas fireplace. Having 3 1/2 baths was wonderful and it had everything that you would need in the kitchen. It was about 20 minutes to Sunday River. We loved it and would rent it again next year. Unfortunately we had to leave a day early because of a wind storm and a loss of power and water.
