Great Vacation Home For The Family!!

The house was great and the area was nice and quiet. We loved the huge backyard which we enjoyed with the family to play volley ball, soccer, badminton, etc. There was enough space in the common area to play board games. We all enjoyed the deck, the river in the back of the property a very short walking distance. The Step Falls are also very closed and a nice place to hike and then refresh. We loved it!! and would definitely go back!!

Weekend wedding

We were in the area to celebrate the wedding of a family member. The place was an excellent fit for us. The owner was very accommodating allowing us to check-in early and to check-out a bit later which was extremely helpful in facing the logistical challenges of the weekend wedding events. Beautiful property with a large field behind the house where kids have plenty of space to burn off energy.

The house was a perfect spot for a large family vacation! The house is larger than it looks in the pictures with tons of space for people to spread out and find privacy if they want it. The river was low because of the drought but the kids still loved splashing and sitting in tubes. The backyard is enormous and allowed us to set up several lawn games at once, for variety. The location offers tons of privacy but is still only 5-7 minutes from restaurants, a grocery store, coffee shops, and more. We had 8 adults, 6 kids and a dog, and everyone enjoyed themselves. The house is very well stocked with much of what we needed for cooking, grilling and entertainment. The owner was very communicative and pleasant to work with. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others. Thank you for a memorable week!

Family getaway

We had a great time at this beautiful property. Everything was just as described and everyone in our group had just right sleeping arrangements. We never used the swimming area with the children because the mosquitoes on the path were pretty awful and we were told by other members of the family that the water was very cold. No problem, we found many areas activities and played lots of games, inside and out. I was amazed at how well stocked the house was with just about everything we needed.

Enjoyable week on the river

The house was perfect for our family with the various areas, 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. The huge deck with the fire pit was used daily/nightly and the big dining room table fit all of us comfortably. The river marks the property boundary line and was a great area to hang out. Bette was very responsive to any questions or concerns we had. The property could use a little maintenance but we will definitely consider staying here again.

Nice family location

This home was perfect for 4 generations to get together. The beach area was great for both the grandkids and the dogs. At first worried about the main road but the backyard is so huge it was never an issue. Nice big deck space for us all to gather. Loved all the separate living spaces for people to spread out when needed. Enjoyed being close to Sunday River Brewery and Steam Mill Brewery was awesome. Lots of nice areas to take hikes with young children. Easy and quick communication with the owner. Thank you Elizabeth!

Elizabeth had a amazing home that she had set up with absolutely everything we could need !! We came to Sunday River with 14 adults for the Iron Adventures Motorcycle Rally and we were not disappointed in our choice of accommodations!!! We all had plenty of space for sleeping and privacy when we needed some . The back deck was a great place to gather and enjoy a campfire after a long day of riding and to share our experiences and stories!! Thank you Beth we are hoping you will welcome our group to return again !! Possibly a crisp fall foliage ride !!

The best place ever for our large family

We, a family of fourteen, never felt crowded in this lovely home: each little group had privacy and quiet. The house was extra clean, and we felt welcome from the moment we walked through the front door. It met all of our needs, especially the huge back yard, outside "toys", the grills, and the fire pit. From our first inquiry, Bette was immediately responsive to any needs that we had and any questions we had. That backyard would be perfect for a wedding tent! Thank you, Bette and Curt.

Perfect for large families

We enjoyed our weekend in Bethel while celebrating my sister’s 25th wedding anniversary. The space is perfect for larger family gatherings. We were a total of 5 couples and a couple young adult children along with 4 fur pets and the space allows for privacy as well. We enjoyed the day at Sunday River hiking through some of the trails and taking the scenic chair lift up the mountain. We can’t say enough about how universal the property is. The huge deck and backyard was perfect for the pets and congregating. Some of the members traveling with us took to the river for some fishing. We would definitely stay again. Elizabeth was super responsive with easy check in and check out.

Truly amazing!

Our stay was absolutely perfect! Elizabeth was attentive before we arrived and her home did not disappoint. We had 12 adults and 5 children and we never felt like we were too crowded. The homes are huge and can accommodate everyone’s needs! The deck was beyond plentiful, offering hours of play, stories, dinners and laughs. The best part is by far the river. SO kid friendly and CLEAN! The water was crystal clear and perfect. Deeper spots for swimming yet still shallow enough for 10 month olds to play without fear. Can not say enough good things about this home, already trying to plan our trip for next year! Thank you Elizabeth!

We loved our stay in Bethel Maine on the Sunday River! The house was comfortable and very well equipped (especially the kitchen!). Elizabeth was very responsive and helpful. The house has super nice back porch, an amazing (very large) back yard with access to the river where we swam and played much of every day. Our group was 11 people (8 adults and three children aged 9, 6, and 2) and we all had a ton of fun. Lots to do in the area (it was hot so swimming holes were our main destination), and we also enjoyed nearby mini golf, tubing on the Adroscoggin, and watching the stars at night. But the expanse of the Sunday River in our backyard was the big star of the trip. Everyone had fun playing in and exploring the shallow water behind the house. The only thing that makes the house less than perfect is that it's on a major road with considerable traffic noise which can be loud on the back porch, the yard, and even at the river (but not so much inside the house). Our brains learned to block the noise so it was not a big deal most of the time. Overall, we loved the house and especially the river and would not hesitate to return here another year.
