Location: Bethel, Sunday River, Mountains & Lakes, Maine, USA (Sunday River, Mahoosuc Mountains, at, Androscoggin River)

The River House overlooks cascading Howard Pond stream. It is situated on the riverbank at the location where three old mills used to stand. Privacy abounds at this private four-acre wooded lot. Just 10 minutes from Sunday River and 1/2 mile from US Rt. 2 is a gravel road leading to a private wood bridge over the river and this pristine location.
Enjoy the use of the Howard Pond Town Beach, a short distance up the road, or a dip in our clear mountain brook. X-Country ski or snowmobile right from your door all the way to Canada. Deep cold Howard Pond, just up the road, is renowned for its great trout fishing and access is easy for a canoe or small boat. There are small trout in the stream and some excellent fishing in the Androscoggin River running along nearby Rt. 2.
The Androscoggin is quickly becoming known as a canoe and kayak paradise for those looking to experience nature. There is easy access and you will not surrounded by other paddlers. Go for a couple hours or pack a lunch and plan an excursion for the whole day. Canoes can be rented nearby or a guided trip may be arranged.
Picturesque views and the soothing babble of cascading waterfalls will be your treat as you relax on the deck. A sliding door from the living area is your access to this tranquil spot. A gas barbeque grill is provided for your afternoon or evening meal. The deck makes a great place to relax and do some reading while the kids play in the brook.
As the sun sets and you return from your busy day this is the place to enjoy that favorite cocktail while the sounds of mother nature's wonders complete your relaxation. Maybe even catch a small trout or two in the stream to cook on the grill. In the evening, relax by a cozy campfire in the stone fireplace by the stream. You probably will not believe you can be this close to everything and yet feel so far away.
The River House is private and serene and yet you will enjoy all the comforts of home.
