About this property

Private, Remodeled 3 Bedroom 2 Bath Home on Howard Pond 15 Min to Sunday River

This charming private retreat is nestled among Maples, Birches, and Firs with a view of Howard Pond. The tastefully remodeled three-bedroom, two-bath cottage sleeps six with two queen beds and two twin beds. The inviting open living/dining/kitchen features a vaulted cathedral ceiling with roof windows that allow light to fill the home. The 6' pine dining table accommodates everyone.

The primary suite with the adjoining loft living area is located on the second floor. The pine paneling, cabinets, and pine wood floors add to the warmth and ambiance of this Maine woods retreat. There will be the slightest sigh (ahh) of approval and excitement as you enter this gracious, welcoming environment. This is a place that can restore your soul. After a day full of activity, you can sit by the fire and watch the leaves or the snowflakes fall. In the summer, see the fireflies blink in the woods at night and listen to the loons' call. There's nothing like a swim in the clear water of Howard Pond. Relax and while away the hours in the rocking chairs on the 8'wide farmers' porch that spans the front of the house.

Howard Pond is a pristine Maine pond that prohibits noisy watercraft and is home to a loon family. There is a public swimming area and a dock near the dam. Adventurous hiking --including the Appalachian Trail & many other hikes in the White Mountains-- and quiet walks are just outside your door. You may even see a moose!

Downhill and cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice skating, snowmobiling is all within 10 or 15 minutes of the house.

The Sunday River Golf Club is one of the premier courses in New England. The Bethel Inn and Country Club also provides a challenging 18-hole course.

The House on the Hill is just minutes away from the Androscoggin River, canoeing, kayaking, and guided trips are within easy access.

About the host

Host profile image
As a native Texan, my first visit to Maine was in the fall in the late 1980's. I was fortunate enough to stay with friends on Howard Pond and I fell in love with the place. For several years, I would return in the fall to this place that literally restored my soul... walking in the woods, listening to the loons and being surrounded by nature...very different from my 'city life' in Austin, Texas. One year when I got off the plane in Portland, I wondered to myself if I could possibly find a place of my own in this part of the world. It took a couple of years to find the land, hire the builder and take on such a project long distance. In 1995 construction was complete and I walked into the House on the Hill and fell in love all over again. Please be my guest..enjoy skiing and snowboarding at Sunday River, skating on the pond, walking in the woods or swimming and fishing in the summer or just relaxing by the fire or rocking away the hours on the porch.

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

I love to walk in the woods in every season of the year. In the fall, I am convinced that there is no more spectacular fall folage anywhere in the world than in the Western Mountains of Maine on Howard Pond. It is great fun to have this house as a base and travel around the state and into New Hampshire and Vermont for day trips or take a couple of days and travel to the Maine coast. There are great skiing, hiking, canoeing, biking and antiquing adventures within minutes of the house. And, of course, swimming in the pond in the summer. When the pond freezes, it is great fun to skate on that open frozen expanse of water. And, there is nothing like snowshoeing in the woods or on the trails at Sunday River or the Bethel Inn and Country Club where you can also cross-country ski. My family loves the friendly and relaxed atmosphere at on the mountain. Bethel is truly a quaint New England village and has some lovely places to dine. The area is noted for the many hiking trails from level walking trails to the challenging terrain. The House on the Hill is a perfect spot to embark on an adventure or to retreat and curl up with a book.
