This condo is a treasure. The pictures don't do the actual size justice as it is very spacious and slept 8 with ease and comfort. Kids especially loved the lower level living room with sectional and tv. Easy access to slopes to literally ski and out was fantastic for our younger ones that needed a break every now and then. Condo is in mint condition, impeccably cleaned and maintained making it feel like a well kept home. All lines were provided with ample extra blankets and pillows for cots as well. Kitchen and eating area accomodated us all, with children especially loving the breakfast bar and stool arrangement. 2 full baths made life easy for us all and extra 1/2 bath on main living area was an added convenience. Spent some time skating at Bridgton Adademy down the road as well as hitting the cinema pub in town and an amazing sleigh ride through the woods with Beligian draft hourses at High View Farms which can be found online. A definite must do as the views were spectacular, hot chocolate and bonfire in the woods to roast marshmallows was a memorable touch!!!! Grocery store down the road makes it easy to stock the pantry. Bring your own towels for the hot tub as that was a fun addition to every day skiing and tired bones. Pack a crock pot as well to make dinner time easy breezy! Truly enjoyed our stay as well as any and all corrspondence with owners. They were prompt in professional in every way. Would surely recommend to others :)

Owner response:Jen - so glad you enjoyed your stay. We hope you will come back in the summer or fall to enjoy everything that Bridgton and the area has to offer!!! I look forward to hearing back from you! Sophie

We stayed for two nights over the Christmas holiday and the condo was perfect for our two families. The location can't be better. We could walk over to the lifts and come back to rest up and have a bite before going back for night skiing. The condo was spotless and clearly well maintained. We look forward to coming back for a longer stay.

Owner response:So glad you enjoyed your stay. Looking forward to welcoming you again in the near future.

The condo was even better and much bigger in person than the pictures depict. The location was perfect to ski in/out, the weather was great and the hot tub was a nice touch. Would definitely visit again. Thanks

Owner response:I'm so glad you enjoyed it - hope you come back during the summer or fall!

Condo is such a pretty building, right on the slope, chair lift and lodge. Right out the door and can ski or board to the lift. The inside was so amazing! All updated appliances, flooring, furniture, cozy, warm and welcoming. Luv'd going in hot tub on deck after a hard day on the slopes, so relaxing. Very open and spacious, so no one was in the each others way. The kids could be downstairs watching what they want and relaxing, and the adults were upstairs on main floor doing the same. Caters to everyone. The equipment area was great too, doesn't clutter the house and the main part of house stays clean too. Can't wait to come back!!!!!

Owner response:Michelle, I'm so glad you enjoyed the condo, and all it has to offer. Any time you want to come back, just shoot me an e-mail - summer & fall are AWESOME seasons too with so much to do!! Take care and happy b-day to your daughter!!! Sophie

The condo was great. It was very clean and perfect for our family. The three different levels allowed the kids to be on a different level and watch something different if they wanted. The views were wonderful.

Owner response:Monica, so glad you enjoyed your stay. Looking forward to your next visit.

This place was awesome! Perfect location with lots to do within a few minutes drive or stay on site and relax on the sunny deck during the day then sit in the outdoor hot tub as it get cool at night. The overall decor inside was done with great taste and feels like an upscale home with 2 gas fireplaces, plenty of seating and a huge kitchen with all the supplies. Great hiking trails right from the deck up the mountain. Lots of deer sightings and other wildlife. This was a last minute rental and the owners were very helpful in making it happen quickly and responded right away. I highly recommend these owners and this condo and definitely plan to visit again. Stop looking and rent this place! I rate it a 9 out of 10 and I'm very picky. I'd give it a 10 if the condo was at the top of the mountain with higher views.

Owner response:Peter, thank you very much for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay, and I do hope you will have the opportunity to rent again soon!!

Our stay at the condo on Shawnee Peak was very positive. The rooms were spacious and the amenities provided were more then adequate. My family and I made use of some of the videos provided and the children played some of the games provided. We were very close by some of our relatives who live in Bridgton and so visiting with them was very convenient as well. Being this is more of a winter condo location, using it in the summer was a quiet time for other units to be in use. So, we had lots of privacy and lack of traffic. We would definitely consider renting it again in the future.

Owner response:Evelyn, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to having you stay again in the near future!!!

What a great spot!! The condo is located right on the trail with easy access to the lifts. It is much larger than it appears on the website. We were thrilled with every aspect...it was clean,bright,spacious,organized well-equipped. There were plenty of FRESH linens and tons of storage space in cabinets and closets. We were extremely impressed with the ski equiptment area of the condo...plenty of space for skis,boots,shoes,bags,jackets,etc.....it was very well thought out! Thanks again, we are looking forward to coming back. -Courtney

Owner response:Thank you for your comments - we always strive the make the condo a "home away from home" and we are glad you found it so accommodating. We look forward to having you back any time of the year!!!

We had a great time at the condo. It was everything we expected and more. It was clean, beautifully furnished and all that was needed was there. We loved using the hot tub. The location was fantastic. Nothing beats ski in, ski out and Shawnee Peak was a fun mountain with the night skiing an great added bonus. It was the perfect set up for a family visit with our son who goes to Bridgton Academy. Thanks for accommodating us.

Sophie, we simply had a fantastic time in your condo! It was clean, beautiful, and had more than everything we needed. My five year old daughter turned to me at one point and said, "this feels like home." And it was perfect for my two year-old son, too, who was in desperate need of afternoon naps after morning skiing! All of us loved the fireplaces, too. Thank you, so very much!!

My family and I enjoyed 5 great days at this property over the Christmas Holiday. The condo was very clean!! and nicely decorated. The ski slopes were right out our back door. The owner is very attentive to all details. They have a wonderful hot tub on the back deck that our kids loved after a day of skiing. We are already booking our next trip back.

Sophie -- We had a wonderful time. The condo was spacious, pristine and set in a beautiful spot. We spent the first few days -- which were unusually rainy -- touring Bates, Bowdoin & Colby -- and then had splendid sunshine for Saturday. This really is a great, beautiful spot. Thanks for arranging the rental. Best regards, Nancy

Hi Sophie- Just wanted to let you know that we had wonderful time at Shawnee. You really have a special place there. I loved everyting about it! We actually where going to call and she if we could stay an extra night, but then decided against it. The mountain was actually closed on Wednesday, but we did get 2 1/2 days of great skiing in. Our body's are pretty sore. We will certainly be back and pass the word to our friends. Thanks again! I wish I was still there. Deb

This place was awesome!.....At first I thought we where in the wrong place,so we called the phone to be sure. Everything was decorated so beautifully and we felt so at home there. The view from the master suite was incredible. We really loved the Ski In and Ski out Feature. We stayed 4 nights and never left the area. Enjoyed the mountain and all it had to offer. It was very relaxing and we'll worth it! Planning on going back sometime in the near future to enjoy the hot-tub.

Wonderful Slopeside Home BC Barrington, NH Date Submitted: Jan 27, 2008 Date of Stay: Jan 2008 This home really exceeded our expectations. One of the first things my wife said was “this place is better in person than it looks in the pictures, and I thought it looked nice in the pictures.” While here, we looked at some of the new homes for sale, and this one is by far the best! The location couldn’t be better next to the slope. It was a really nice surprise to look out the windows and see the groomers driving right by in the evening. My 4 year old son especially liked that. The selection of board games was nice for adults and kids. It was very nice to have the free Wi-Fi available. My computer & iPhone connected immediately without a problem. We own a vacation home at a different ski resort and have found number of little touches that we think will make our home better too.
