One of the best spots is Grafton Notch State Park, located along the Maine-New Hampshire border, just minutes away from The Heights.

We wanted to tell you how much we loved staying at your home in Maine. The accommodations were wonderful and the scenery beautiful. What a peaceful way to wake up every morning and see the magnificent view. You couldn't help but relax, which is what we all needed. Your home was so warm and inviting and you had everything we could possibly need. You are always a little nervous when you pick a place to stay in an area where you have never been before, but you helped alleviate those concerns. Thanks for all of your help as we asked questions upfront, coordinated the stay with us, provided information, and even Arthur's call on Friday night to make sure we had everything our first day there. It was a pleasure. We are definitely fans of Maine now. Thank you so much for helping make our trip so special. Take Care! Jillane, Nicole, Marie, and LenoraRecommended for: Girls getaway.

We and three other families rented The Heights, which is comprised of the Eagle's Nest and another unit. The home was absolutely beautiful, as accurately depicted in the online photos. All 17 of us - 8 adults, 9 kids - fit easily, and we could even have added another family of four. The kitchens were well stocked with dinnerware, utensils, cookware, and appliances. The theater room functioned properly and comfortably fit all the kids at once. The pool and poolhouse were wonderful - too bad it never felt so warm that we needed to escape to the poolhouse. Gourmet in a Pinch was a real highlight for us. The owner recommended them, and she was right. They cooked a Mexican Fiesta one night, and lobster dinner another. The food was fabulous, reasonably priced, and the luxury of not having to cook or clean was a real treat. The owner, Paul, was charming and clearly passionate about his work. Bravo! The area of Bethel/Sunday River was gorgeous, with scenic mountain views, drives and hikes. The activities were nearby and plentiful, including white water rafting, swimming holes, golf, ziplines, hikes, and even some shopping in Conway on a rainy day. Plan dining and activities carefully because the resort is winter-focused, and some places close completely or for part of each week. The owner, Susan, couldn't have been more gracious and helpful before and during our stay. Like any large, rental at the end of a busy season, there were a few minor items that I'm sure she'll attend to - one hot tub was out of order and none of us could get the sauna turned on. Those were minor compared to the overall excellent experience. We would highly recommend it,, and would happily return there in the future. JeffRecommended for: Sightseeing, families with young children, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.

Our stay here was absolutely incredible. The home owners were very gracious and welcoming. The house is the perfect location for a relaxing retreat from the hill. The hot tub was great especially the first night when it was -27 C (-16.6 F) ... We didn't use the theatre or even turn on a TV .... Hit the slopes all day .... Relaxed by the fireplace in the night with wine, beer, and appies .... We brought a lot of food with us but next year when we return I would really recommend ordering your food from "Gourmet in a Pinch" ... A local catering business that has great food and even better prices. Overall, we loved this place and are planning on returning every year for a week.Recommended for: Sightseeing, people with disabilities, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.
Owner response: We are so happy that you enjoyed our home as much as we do. And Sunday River is a beautiful unspoiled area. thank you for all the lovely compliments about the house.... we are very pleased that you are returning next year! Susan and Arthur

For the ultimate in decadence, this beautiful home fulfills its promise. All amenities meet or exceed the advertising, from the comfortable master bedrooms to the movie theater screening room to the wine and chocolate welcome basket. The house was clean and the drive snowplowed early. The owners and local caretakers were responsive and friendly. The kitchen is well equipped. The only challenge is the operation of multiple remote controls for the many televisions.Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.
Owner response: We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay! We have tried our best with labeling all the remotes and posting the operating instructions on all the televisions - we are looking into making our remotes more user-friendly for everyone. Thank you for your wonderful review. Susan

Dear Susan, Sorry for the delay in this "Thank you" note. What a special time we had at your home at Sunday River. The house is beautiful, and was ideal for us, our "adult kids" and grandchildren! Although skiing our first full day was nixed by the -10F temps, the rest of the weekend was perfect...the home-theatre, hot tub and views were B-E-Y-O-N-D. I will be in touch for a return visit.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

Dear Susan and Arthur, Thanks so much for the use of your beautiful home. We had a thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable vacation. The kids had a breakthrough week skiing and by the end we were skiing the whole mountain! Hope to return next year!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Well, our week has gone by!! It has been wonderful. We toured the area and "saw" the sights. I don't think we have ever been more relaxed. I DO NOT WANT TO GO HOME!!!! You guys did a great job with the house. We saw our first moose at Screw Auger Gorge. What a sight to see. As an avid hunter of Virginia White-tail, you can only imagine what my heart rate was, looking at such an animal. We took about 15 rolls of film (while up here). Maine is such a beautiful state. If not for the cold winters, I think we could live here. Thank you for allowing us to come and stay. P.S. I repaired the marks that the baby gates made on the walls. They came in handy and made it easier on us.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0
