    • We recently stayed at the Glen House for a reunion of college friends. The house was magnificent! Beautiful, comfortable, every amenity you can think of. It was the perfect setting and very accommodating for a large group. It offered plenty of space and entertainment for all, beautifully decorated. The property was very clean and cared for and the owners were very helpful. I would certainly recommend this property to others and we will definitely be back for another gathering ourselves!

    • What a fabulous home and perfect for all ages! We had our family reunion of 20 and the house was perfect. Great setting on the golf course and wonderful activities around the area; kayaking, canoeing, hiking. And when it rained there was so much to do at the house; pool table, movie theatre, hot tub, fuse ball, that no one was ever bored. I would highly recommend.

    • The Glen House exceded all of our expectations. Our dream wedding turned into a dream week with friends and family. The back yard overlooking the mountains was the most beatiful spot for a wedding. After the ceremony there are so many places for people to gather and socialize. It couldn't have been more perfect. The property itself is amazing. It was made to entertain. All of my guests have expressed interest in coming back for an anniversery/reunion party. I would recomend this house to anyone.

    • Our family, a group of 24 of all different ages, had a wonderful week-long vacation at the Glenn House. The house was more beautiful in person than it was on line. We swam in the pool,soaked in the hot tubs, played golf, played pool, watched movies, played games, went horseback riding, hiked in the nearby park and made wonderful meals using the inside and outside kitchens. We all hated to leave!

    • We recently enjoyed a wonderful family reunion at the Glen House - arranged through "VRBO" on the web. . . .the property was everything that we had hoped it would be - and then some! The home is extremely well-equipped and maintained; and the owners provided the "little things" that were needed or forgotten (Ex.: an electronic baby monitor) The location was a bit remote from town, but easily accessible to local activities. Directions and suggestions to find local points of interest and activities were plentiful and complete. The house was spotlessly maintained when we arrived and provided every amenity that was advertised - it was perfect for a large family reunion (we had 23 people staying in the house) - and yet provided some "quiet spaces". The pool, hot tubs (2) and home theatre provided great entertainment for the children, teen-agers, and adults - as well as a suitable "stage" for our family's skits. The owners were readily available to answer all our questions and provide information, but were never intrusive. Local shopping in Bethel was easy - the "Good Foods" store on the main highway provided excellent service (try their ribs!) and fair prices. The area activities we enjoyed included golf at two local courses, swimming in local swimming holes, excellent hiking (the Appalachian trail is only a few miles away) fly-fishing, and gorgeous views from the deck of the Glen House, which overlooks the first hole on the Sunday River Golf Club. We would recommend this property "without reservation" to anyone planning a family reunion, wedding, ski trip - or other large group activity in the western Maine area - - you won't be disappointed!

    • We had a wonderful time at the Glen House. The view from the deck was amazing, first of all. It's location is even better: right next to Sunday River, right on the golf course, hiking etc. A ton of outdoorsy activities close by for any of the 4 seasons. The owners were extremely accommodating to our stay. We were taken care of well. The house itself is enormous and beautiful. The hot tub and steam room were our personal favorites, as well as watching the sun set on the deck and grilling by the pool. I would absolutely recommend this place for any large group looking to get away and relax. The website does a great job of portraying the house, and it is even more impressive in person.

    • We had our wedding in the back yard of the Glen House and it worked out perfectly. All of our immediate family stayed at the house with us, which was a great opportunity for our families to get to know each other. The view was magnificent during the ceremony. The movie theater and video games were a big hit with the kids and kept them occupied. Everyone had such a great time that we are hoping to come back in the future. I would highly recommend this home for a family reunion or a wedding.

      When one travels as extensively as we have, one gains enough lodging experiences to know and appreciate the quintessential abode to rest yoru weary head after a long day of skiing Jordan Bowl. The Glen House is off the hook! Kudos to Gretchen and Kris for their attention to detail and thought put into the design and construction of the mansion. By far one of the best Passover Saders was celebrated by our family here. Thank you so much!

      Thank you so much for allowing us to have one of our best Christmas's together. When we first entered this house, we were transformed into a state of relaxation. This home has allowed us to come together and given us some of the best memories. This year has been a stressful one, and this home has given us a place of peace in our hearts. The beautiful view is sketched in our minds and the joy in our hearts. So thank you again. All our love, The Watsons & Reilly's
