Fantastic place

We stayed here as a group of 9 friends for a ski weekend and this place was absolutely perfect for us. The house was extremely clean and a great size for our group. We loved the hot tub, living room setup and games in the house. Sunday River is only a 12 minute drive from the house. Trevor, the host, was wonderfully communicative and our check-in and check-out processes were very easy. We would absolutely stay here again.

A very Nice House With a Great Owner

One of the nicest and well equipped VRBOs we have stayed in. The owner was easy to communicate with and very responsive. This house worked out great for a Sunday River ski weekend.

Absolutely perfect

Trevor was a fantastic host and super accommodating. The house is stunning and comes fully stocked with everything you could think of. The locations was amazing as it’s 15 mins or less from Sunday river and even closer to town and stores. Definitely coming back next year!

We had a great stay at Trevor’s beautiful home. He was very attentive and answered any questions we had. The house was perfect for our two families. There was plenty of room for everyone.

Five stars PLUS

Great ski vacation with family. Trevor clearly put a lot of care and effort into designing and stocking the house- from games and entertainment to kitchen necessities and more! No detail was too small and nothing was neglected. We had plenty of room and everything we needed. Thanks for a great vacation and we hope to be back soon!

Christmas Ski Weekend

Perfect house for our family Christmas ski weekend and probably our best VRBO experience. The house was clean, fully stocked, and even decorated for Christmas. Trevor made sure we had everything we needed and quickly responded to our questions. The house was spacious and had large common areas for hanging out. The location was perfect for skiing at Sunday River and the hot tub was great for after a day on the slopes. The kids were kept busy with all the toys in the basement. The host has clearly put a lot of thought and effort into the rental to make sure guest have everything they need while there. Would 10/10 recommend this property.

Wonderful Stay

My family had a wonderful stay in this beautiful and comfortable home. There was more than enough space for all six of us and a few more would definitely work comfortably. Having four bedrooms and three full bathrooms was ideal. The kitchen was fully stocked with all of the pots and pans, dishes, glassware, utensils, and serving ware needed for cooking and serving, and all of the small appliances needed as well – Keurig, regular coffee maker, toaster oven, blender, etc. We were there on Christmas and were able to cook as easily as if we were at our own home. The home was decorated for Christmas as well which was a lovely touch. The game room in the basement was stocked with many board games for all ages. Downtown Bethel was just a few minutes down the road and there were restaurants / places for takeout there as well as in Newry / Sunday River area. After skiing at Sunday River, getting into the hot tub back at the house was perfect. The large mudroom was great for storing ski equipment and the gear dryer was awesome. Communication with the owner was easy and he was available quickly if we had a question. I would highly recommend staying here and would definitely rent again!

Beautiful House

My family had a wonderful time in this house. The house is very well appointed, we loved the fact that towels were provided for use of the hot tub, this is never the case in most places. The house is decorated nicely and made us feel right at home. I highly recommend this property and I will definitely stay here again, Thank you Trevor.

We happened to rent during a week of terrible storms and flooding. Under these extenuating circumstances, Trevor was supportive and helpful. The place is set up perfectly for a family and we would definitely go there again.

Lovely stay close to Sunday river

Trevor was a great host - would definitely stay here again. I’ve been to my fair share of rentals and they tend to provide the bare minimum (exactly 2 trash bags, 1 roll of paper towel, 2 rolls of toilet paper)… but Trevor made sure everything was thought of! It made our trip so much easier knowing certain household items were available for us to use. The house was perfect and beautiful - well kept with a homey feeling. You can tell they care about the experience for guests. Trevor made himself very available for any questions we had. Overall we had a great time and would absolutely try to book here again.
