Let me start by saying that we had the most wonderful time staying at the Berner Haus for our 19th annual Friends and Artists reunion. After staying in a fabulous geodesic dome, in Joshua Tree California in 2006, I had my doubts about finding a place that could equal it in character and location. It turned out however that the Berner Haus did just that in giving us an exceptionally comfortable place to stay while also providing a unique quality that seemed to capture the very spirit of Bethel, Maine. Your home certainly helped to make reunion 2007 the best one to date. In fact, I was so happy w/ it that I’m already looking at the Glen House for 2010 when our reunion is scheduled to be back in the New England area.

Everything came as advertised. This is a great house that is perfect for large family gatherings. There is a ton to do in the house and the local area has some activities as well. The media room was a real hit and has prompted me to think about adding a similar room to my own home. We would definitely consider another trip to the Glen House. Coming from New York City I was really dreading the drive. It's a long haul, it took us 7.5 hours on the way up as we hit a little snow and 6.0 hours on the way home. Six hours means you are doing 80+ on the highway with very short stop(s) for gas. There are two options (91 N or more eastern route via 95), they are pretty much the same. If you're traveling in the dark I would recommend the 84/95 route as it has better lighting and is wider.

We rented the Glen House for a getaway for a group of friends and while we are not skiiers, we found an endless amount of things to do while staying there! The owners have thought of everything - from basic supplies, to travel information, to games and movies. Our stay could not have been more comfortable. The house is large enough so everyone had their own space and even though we were there with a larger group of people, you never felt on top of each other. The views are incredible and the house is beautifully maintained - it lives up to it's descriptions/pictures! The kitchen had EVERYTHING and we enjoyed making meals for everyone and all sitting around the table together. The entertainment system is awesome and even though it appears quite complicated, it's actually really easy to use! We definitely enjoyed all of the games and movies. The owners also are so great about responding emails, requests and providing you with SO much great and helpful information to make your stay that much more enjoyable. The only downside would be that we found the house not to be completely soundproof. There were a few of our group who preferred to stay up late and then others who woke up early, and those rooms on the 2nd & 3rd floors could easily hear the activity going on. So, if you have children or people who are light sleepers, put them in rooms on the 1st floor. Otherwise, we would completely recommend the Glen House for your next gathering! And thanks so much to the owners for making our stay amazing!

Our family reunion took us to the Glen House for Thanksgiving weekend 2011! What a fantastic home! Our party included 15 people and we were all very comfortable in this "cozy" house. The amenities were outstanding.....We particularly enjoyed the fabulous home theater.We also had a fantastic Thanksgiving dinner as the home is completely equipped for everything. The real bonus was a 13 inch snowfall the night we arrived allowing us the opportunity to sled on the neighboring golf course and ski the mountain.... Can't say enough about the Glen House...no one wanted to leave and we look forward to our return!! Thanks very much!!

July 3 -30, 2001 Family Vacation At Glen House

Our family had a fabulous vacation in Newry, Maine at Glen House. With 12 adults and 9 grandchildren between the ages of 2 and 13 it was another enjoyable family time for all. The house was everything we expected and more. There was so much to do that I don't think any of the grandchildren every complained except when they had to wait for an adult to be at the pool before they could swim. There were fishing trips down the river in canoes, hiking and riding to explore the many Falls and park areas. The New Balance Tent sales in Norway was a great hit with everyone. We had a trip to Portland and the Harbor Lighthouse tour and lunch at DeMillo's Restuarant. Some went to Freeport for a shopping trip at LL Bean and other stores. The Wooden Bridge is a great sight seeing trip. We found Bethel very convenient for quick grocery or drugstore needs and even used the Medical Clinic once. The guys played golf and the kids loved the basketball goal and all the other toys. The theater was a big hit with everyone as was the pool table. We ended the week with rides on the ski lifts and the zip lines. There was just to many things to try to put into this space. The scenery is beautiful and we even had a double rainbow over the golf course early one morning. I would recommend a vacation at Glen House to all. Thanks Kris and Gretchen for providing such a great place.

July Glen House vacation

We used this house for an annual vacation with a group of long-time friends. We had 23 people and fit quite comfortably. There was so much supplied at the house, which came in very handy if you forgot something. We did find it helpful to bring food for meals from home as there weren't many large food stores nearby. There were a few small food stores to pick up the things we ran out of. Also, since we went in July we found a few stores were closed since it was no longer winter ski season. Gretchen, the owner, was so easy to work with and incredibly helpful with suggestions of what to do in the area. She helped us find someone to come to the house and cook lobsters. She emailed day trip suggestions and we wound up doing many of them. This helped to enhance our trip and enjoy it that much more as we ziplined, golfed, hiked and drove to see Portland and it's beautiful lighthouses. She coordinated half price golf passes on the view-filled and hilly course that the house is on. The large kitchens, large dining areas, pool, hot tubs, movie theater, and gas fire pit were an amazing combination of amenities to have a large group enjoy their time together. It was truly one of our best group vacations. Thank you Gretchen for an amazing time at your fantastic home. It was impeccably clean and everything you put into the home was top quality and really enjoyed by us!!!

Each year our family spends a week together in the summer. This year we chose the Glen House and it proved to be the best thus far. With 9 adults and 10 children (oldest was 9), we had ample room to be together (kitchen and poolside) and had plenty of places to be apart. We enjoyed the Big Adventure Center, Step Falls and the Sunday River chair lift but we really didn't have to leave the house at all. We would definitely recommend the Glen House for families and groups of all ages.

My fiancé and I were looking for an intimate setting for our wedding weekend that was large enough for two families to stay, dine, and play. When we found the Glen House we knew our search was over. This house is a fantastic location for any event and has all the amenities and more to keep everyone entertained and comfortable. Each floor has it's own unique attractions, a cozy reading area, hot tub, gourmet kitchen, pool table, even a home theatre. We were very happy that the summary of the home and the accommodations were exactly as advertised. The property was clean and organized and Gretchen was extremely helpful providing us the information we needed to prepare our guests for a successful and carefree weekend. I would definitely recommend this property to a friend, and look forward to returning for an anniversary weekend.

We stayed with a large group in January and had a great time. There was enough room that we didn't feel on top of each other, but also felt like we were in a shared space. For us, it was very appealing. The property is very nice and the owners very accommodating. I left a couple of items behind and she was kind enough to mail them back to me. Very much appreciated. We had a problem with the heat while we were there, which we understand that these things happen, but it was caused by the repair man and we had to tell the repair man how to fix it. Annoying, but not devastating.

The Glen House is a fantastic house with so many rooms filled with lot comfortable furniture with awesome audio and TV throughout. The kitchen upstairs kitchen....WOW! The game room was killer. We skied or snow mobiled everyday then came home to enjoy the hot tub and steam rooms. Having a three bay garage was nice because we were able to keep some of our cars snow free for the morning departure. Two washing machines, two dish washers two kitchens, TV's all over the place, game systems, pool table, foosball table, books, DVDs, this place is fantastic.
