    • Our family, 23 of us, thoroughly enjoyed our summer family reunion at SkiEsta. The house fit our group, which ranged in age fron 8 to 55, so comfortably. The spacious kithcen was a pleasure to work in, and the household ammenities kept us all busy. The spacious dining room allowed us to sit down in one room and dine comfortably. We enjoyed several day trips to watering holes, Mt. Washington, and even spotted a moose . Maine was a lovely change in climate for the Floridians and Ski Esta was the perfect place for the family. Sophia and Walter are so organized and kind, they were a pleasure to deal with. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.

    • I must echo the other comments in the guestbook. Ski Esta is quite simply the most luxurious rental house I have seen. We held an anniversary party for about 35 members of our family there. The online pictures do not do the house justice. It's much larger and much more luxurious. We had no problems cooking for everyone in the extensive kitchen. We also had a lovely full sit-down dinner in the dining room. Everyone found something to do between the four hot tubs, the indoor pool, the pool table, the ping pong table, and places to sit and just chat or enjoy the view. The bedrooms were decorated with incredibly luxurious linens, and everyone commented on how comfortable the beds were. Plus, dogs are truly welcome! And our dog had a great time with everyone. They have made it incredibly easy to clean up with the several dishwashers and laundry rooms. I don't think anyone wanted to leave at the end of the weekend. It was beautiful, peaceful, quiet, and an incredible amount of fun.

    • We just returned from our honeymoon to hear that friends and family are still buzzing about our wedding weekend at the Ski Esta. Because we booked the whole weekend, we were able to have our loved ones spend real quality time together. The rehersal, wedding and reception all occured at the house and everything went beautifully. Everyone had a fabulous time, from the youngest (4) to the eldest (75). There was so much to see and do. The kitchen was heaven for the cooks in the group. The pool and theater were in almost constant use. There were many hotly contested games of pool. The beds and linens were so luxurious, I don't think I've ever slept better. Thanks to Walter and Sophia for making everything so easy, and for thinking of our every need. Hope to see you again someday!

    • Dear Sophia, We were looking for a place to celebrate a prize we won in 2008...we definitely found it! All 15 of us enjoyed the jacuzzis, the large kitchen, the amazing view and the comfort of your home. We would also like to mention that it was very clean and nicely decorated. The only downsides were the wireless Internet which was not working properly (but we were only there for a few days) and the stereo system (we never seemed to understand the information you had left in the house book). Once again, thank you for taking the time to answer all the questions we had before we visited. You are very well organized! Hope to have the chance to go back. Eastern Canada Key Account Team

      Dear Owners, I had the opportunity to stay in your incredible home in Newry, Maine, on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week... I can’t even begin to tell you how beautiful your house is. I have personally never seen such opulence and luxury. And in the midst of all that I felt so welcome! The house reminds me a bit of Neuschwanstein Castle. It is lofty and elegant but in contrast to Neuschwanstein it is cozy and so comfortable. The views from the house are amazing. I took a dip in the pool and I felt like a princess. Thank you so much for your beautiful home. ... It is such a delightful and restful home. Again, many thanks. Sincerely, Wendy~

    • This home truly is amazing. It has everything you could ever want for -the pool, the steam room, sauna, home theater and the list goes on. Definitely the most put together vacation home we have ever seen. The decorating of the whole house was amazing, not to mention the views are breathtaking! We loved how it was located at the very top of the community. Sophia really thought of everything and was extremely accomodating.

    • We visited Ski Esta in early Sept 2009 and had really GREAT time together, having some time outside, in pool, hot tub The house is really amazing, Sophia and Walter put so much attention to details and high-tech in the house it is really outstanding! The house is located in from of the Sunday River hills, so when you sit on the deck you can enjoy great view to the hills around. If you want to spend time with your family and friends - this is the place! Sophia and Walter are doing great job working with guests and trying to address any of their concerns and requests!

    • We had our annual family get-together this year in Maine with members from San Diego, Boston, and NJ all making it. We couldn't have picked a more beautiful place to do it. It was a real pleasure coordinating the vacation with Sophia. Their property is spectacular. We will definitely be coming back again.
