Well this was our second year and the house was just as nice as last year. We are 8 adults and 4 children and while the adults were watching tv and relaxing upstairs the kids were downstairs playing wii I would reccomend this house to anyone clean and cozy!!!! Waking up to the mountain views and then the watching the sun go down was just sooo nice!!!! Rich is a pleasure to deal with and very easy to reach at any time. So if you are thinking you want to rent this house dont just rent it!!! My group just loves it!! Thanks Again Rich!!!!

Beautiful home close to Mount Abrams and Sunday River. Woke up the day before Xmas Eve to 5 inches of snow, what a view from the home! We were 8, 4 of us kids. The set up was perfect. The 3 boys had their own space downstairs in the 4 bunk room with their own living room and bathroom. My daughter had her own room and the 2 couples each ad their own rooms. The fireplace was warm and cozy and the home provides for all the amenities you could ever want. If you arrive at night be warned younwill need flashlights as there is minimal street lighting and none in the long hilly driveway. We arrived at night during a minor ice storm and our 4x4's could not make it up the driveway. Luckily we had our iPhones to light the way! I would recommend this home to anyone. Rich was always prompt getting back to me with any concerns.

Went for the first time last week, for just a couple nights, but it was great. Luckily the weather we had was perfect, and the view was amazing. The house was clean and well maintained when we got there, and there wasn't a thing I had to complain about when leaving. We didn't do much activities, other than spending a couple easy nights in the house, and I'll probably be going back next summer, to explore more of the area. Five stars, all the way.

Amazing Overall Experience

This was my second visit to Two Bears Lodge and I have to say that it just keeps getting better. The house is beautifully kept and maintained, the view from the front deck is amazing, and a short 20 minute ride to Sunday River ski resort makes it a great destination for anyone looking for a nice house that sleeps a ton and is away from commotion that surrounds the mountain. I would recommend this house to anyone and everyone. Rich is a great guy and we are definitely looking in to renting again!

Wonderful Ski Chalet

My friends and I rented this house for a ski weekend and it was fabulous! There were 11 people total and the house was spacious enough for all- especially having 3 full bathrooms! We loved relaxing in the hot tub or in front of the fireplace after a great day of skiing. Everyone enjoyed their time so much, that we plan to make this a yearly event! Thanks, Rich!

Great times in the mountains

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Maine. Our two families came to Maine from Georgia. We couldn't have asked for more. Rich was great to work with and we loved the cabin. It was very accessible, clean, and had everything we needed. The hot tub was perfect after a day of hiking or skiing. The kitchen was well equipped. We even cooked a complete Thanksgiving meal. The only suggestion I have is for the ceiling fans to be dusted and potholders are needed in the kitchen. The town of Bethel is beautiful; definitely eat at Roosters! Sunday River ski resort was very helpful to all of us who had never skied before. We enjoyed the hiking in the mountains and even got to see a momma moose and her baby! I would definitely recommend this cabin to our friends who want to visit Maine. After seeing our pictures, several have said they will definitely be going up there. Thanks Rich for being so accommodating! You were great and as our kids said "Your cabin rocks!"

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration at this "luxury 4 br chalet" that totally lives up to its desciption! The location high on a hill provides lovely views, the large comfortable great room, kitchen with island, and front deck, are great for entertaining! I love the white cedar and pine decor. The bedrooms are very comfortable and 3 bathrooms, 1 on each level, are very convenient! Huge TVs and hot tub for leisure time. Thank you for offering this beautiful home for rent.

Dear Rich, Just wanted you to know how much we loved our stay in Maine, especially our accomadations. The house was absolutely wonderful, not to mention the view from the front balcony. Everyone felt so relaxed. A fabulous home away from home. You thought of every luxury a family would want. We have stayed in many homes in the Outer Banks of N. Carolina, but this house certainly came out on top. Thanks again!!

Rich, thanks so much for renting your absolutely BEAUTIFUL house to us for this past weekend. We enjoyed ourselves so much, your house was really over the top! It is by far the best rental that we have stayed at! My husband and I enjoyed the hot tub after our 2 days of skiing. We really appreciate the efforts you took to accommodate us. The skiing was nice and the competition was great, my kids were very excited watching the jumps from the lifts. After unpacking and getting through dinner we are going to try to find something for next weekend for another round of spring skiing while it lasts. I hope we can find something similar to your tremendous house. Thanks again, Jody
