Already planning on next year
If I could give this property more than five stars, I totally would. From days before our stay, upon arrival, during and upon our departure, the owners were more than attentive and quick to respond. The cabin is truly an oasis and we already plan to book next summer. 2 of my 3 kids had their own king bed while my youngest was in the basement complete with an arcade game, gaming systems and ping pong. This is a huge space with a great flow. Everything you need is provided, and the owners took great care to make it feel like your own by avoiding personal touches. The location couldn’t be better. Minutes from all the shops, restaurants and stores in Bethel, but totally quiet and peaceful while you’re here. It’s hard to leave the cabin and a reward after a day full of activity to soak in the hot tub and hang with the family while laying memories. We are really looking forward to coming back. Thank you!!!

Wonderful stay in Bethel!
This was such a lovely house- we miss it already! The owners have put a lot of thought and effort into making everything as seamless and comfortable as possible. It's well equipped with pretty much everything you could need during a stay. My favorite part of the house was the screened front porch, it was a lovely place to sit and read a book while enjoying the forest views without being bothered by bugs. My kids' favorite part was the arcade machine on the lower level- they were obsessed! We'd love to stay here again the next time we visit family.

Beautiful house and great location!
We loved staying here for a weekend of skiing. Everything was clean and comfy. The pics are accurate. It really is that beautiful! The kids thought the downstairs pair of bunk beds, arcade and video games, and ping pong table were paradise. All the little things were thought of, including ski holders in the locked shed. Great spot!

Getaway to the Mountains
The home was perfect for our stay. We had brought our atvs and rzr's to travel to Jericho NH which was about 45 minutes away. The area of the home was quiet, great location near town if you need to dip off to a store or pick up some restaurant food. The home was clean, the kids loved the bunk bed area! (mostly because the older littles could hang on the top bunks and watch tv!) the ping pong table was a hit and the hot tub was an added benefit after the long days riding, and was extra refreshing in that brisk northern air. The house had everything we needed for our fall family getaway and would definitely recommend for your next stay.

Perfect home and host
Great overall experience, which I attribute to the thoughtfulness of the host. From check-in to check-out, a seamless experience. Elvis (host) was incredibly thorough and available, without being intrusive; you simply knew that if you had a question, he was there to answer it. That said, it is nearly impossible to have a question, because the attention to detail in the property is astonishing. Everything was easy to find and/or operate, and the home and appliances are all new. Sometimes when you browse properties, you might wonder if reality will "live up" to the photos/descriptions, but I can assure you that Elvis delivers 100%. It is no wonder that so many of the reviews mention him personally. Great job!

A Jewel of a Chalet (Excellent)
This chalet near the mountains was amazing. The host did everything necessary to make us comfortable. Everything was clean and well kept. The kitchen was well stacked (We always look for a tea kettle, and we found one right away). There was a new awesome grilled installed on the patio, and we enjoyed it very much. Everything is nicely labeled. The bedroom and bathrooms were also well stacked. We could find clean towels and bed covers. The fireplace was also lovely. We cozied up next to it on the beautiful sofa and we enjoyed family movie nights. The host provided an awesome digital guide where you can find everything you need (including the Wi-Fi, how to check in, how to check-out, etc.). So well done. I didn’t have to ping Elvis once because everything was there. There was helpful information there too regarding local stores to use. Our children especially loved the changing/playroom downstairs. That was so awesome. I don't think they wanted to ever leave downstairs. There’s a ping pong table downstairs and an arcade. Trust me, you’ll get some nice peace of mind knowing that they are safe and comfortable in the playroom. There’s also a bathroom on each floor. I’ve never been to Bethel Maine before, but this house is a jewel and I’m looking forward to returning again. Thank you Elvis, you were awesome.
