The home boasts 6 bedrooms consisting of a grand family suite with a king and 3 twins, a second suite with a queen, two private queen rooms, and a bunk wing with two bedrooms. A formal dining room with a custom built table just off the kitchen has a seat for everyone. Relax after dinner around the fire and enjoy a game on the giant scrabble board. 2 separate media rooms with surround sound are available. 75” Samsung TV in upstairs Media Room w/ seating for 14 people, additional Media Room with 65” TV in downstairs.
For those who prefer a little more action than relaxing to a flic, the "Gamerz" room offers 3 synced PlayStations each with individual monitors to create the ultimate competitive gaming experience.
Or hang out in the game room for endless entertainment with Pingpong, Pool Table, Golden Tee Golf & shuffleboard as well as a 55" TV so you won't miss the game.
Winter: The home is ~10 minutes to Sunday River for some of the best skiing on the East. If the ski conditions aren’t up to par, enjoy some fun on the ice rink. You can throw on your boots and play a game of Paddleball with our paddleball gear. Bring your snowmobiles for endless trail riding on the ITS or pack the Xcountry ski and snowshoes and head out on an exhilarating trek along the river. Trails can also be found directly across from the driveway! (Rink is installed 12/1 each year. It will be filled with water when we have 5 consecutive days of freezing weather)
Summer: The possibilities feel endless. The private setting with massive yard and outdoor games will keep you busy with fun. Play volleyball, throw horse shoes or enjoy a game of cornerhole by the river. If you’re itching for adventure, head up river 6 miles to the Gilead Bridge where you can launch your canoes, kayaks, paddle boards, tubes, or booze barge and lazily float back to the house.

This place has everything! It’s borderline impossible not to have fun at this house. You want to swim? River next to the house. You wanna play video games? They have 6 PlayStations in the basement. You want to gamble on table games? They got you covered with pool, ping pong, and shuffleboard. 10/10 stay!
Our family has a great stay at the Paddle House. A lot of activities at the house and the surrounding area. Perfect for home bodies and those that like adventure.
3rd time at the Paddle house. We are a 3 generation family ranging in age from 9 to 73. The house itself has everything that you could need for a comfortable stay.Skiing at Sunday River is only a few miles away.Our kids love to skate and play hockey, and the house has a skating rink in the backyard which is always in use.Skating continues into the night as the rink is well lit. hope to be able get get back next year!
Stayed here with a large group of friends and it was an excellent property! TONS of room, stocked kitchen, great game room. We all loved this property. About 12-15 minutes away from Sunday River.
The paddlehouse was the perfect size for our large family. Plenty of room for all ages.
The game rooms were great for a little indoor time. The volleyball area became the largest sandbox my grandchildren have played in.
Everything was clean. Amanda was super helpful. Definitely would recommend.
Our extended family enjoyed our stay at the house. Check in was easy. Communication with the owner was easy. House was well equipped for multi generational stay.
We stayed for the weekend to celebrate Christmas with the family. The house had plenty of room for everyone and the game room was perfect. We would definitely come again!
Beautiful property! Well stocked, lots of room with space for all, SO much to do for everyone in any kind of weather. We really had a wonderful time. Thank you to our hosts!
Had a great ski trip with friends on the property! We were able to use the game room and the disco lights, which made the atmosphere a lot of fun. Also, the hot tub is a little bit of a walk away from the main house but people still enjoyed it. Would want to come back in the summer to take advantage of the volleyball court. Thanks for a great stay!
