We had a great stay at this mountain house in Maine. The home was spacious, clean, and warm, with the comfort of having the entire house to ourselves. The hot tub was a wonderful bonus, especially in the peaceful setting at the end of a dead-end road. Very quiet, private, and relaxing—we would happily stay here again.
This was a beautiful home and close to Sunday River, with breathing views. It was really comfortable for our group of 10 with four children. However, the driveway to get to the house is long and steep. In the winter might not be possible without four-wheel-drive (some of our group got stuck). In addition, communication with the property management was inconsistent and it often took multiple days for them to get back to us - despite time sensitive questions. Finally, the house is filled with ladybugs - to the point where we had to cover our food if we stepped away for a few minutes to avoid them flying into it. Definitely need an exterminator!Overall a solid option but definitely not the easiest stay we've had.
This is a great rental home, spacious, and great for groups. Just some quirks, there are lady bugs and stink bugs everywhere inside the house…both alive and dead. We rented during the second week of December just for reference. I really don’t care, but a few of my family members hate bugs and we’re not thrilled. The hot tub was awesome, the downstairs is perfect for kids/adult kids. Just bring your own board games/cards. I Would go again, but probably not my bug conscious family members lol.

Beautiful but some items not acceptable. Dirty towels hanging on back of one bathroom door when we checked in, no ice in freezer and ice maker didn’t work, a hand towel rack fell off of bathroom wall, lots of ladybugs all over windows, and a storage bench hinged lid fell off when lifted. Kids loved the entertainment space in basement, and rooms were comfy and hot tub very nice.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad the kids enjoyed the basement and that the rooms and hot tub were comfortable. We apologize for any inconvenience from the towel rack and storage bench, which have since been addressed, and for any seasonal ladybugs that appeared. We appreciate your comments and hope you’ll visit again.
Sleeps 10 comfortably, great quiet peaceful getaway

Peaceful and clean
The layout of place worked perfectly for our guests. It is very quiet being the last house on the dirt road. It has some nice views of the mountains.
The house was awesome. Plenty of space, great amenities - pool table, ping pong table, hot tub, comfy seating. The property was super clean. Highly recommend!
Our stay at Thunder Ridge was incredible! The property was very spacious and easily accommodated our group of ten, providing plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy. Everything was clean upon arrival, and we appreciated how well-stocked the kitchen was with cookware, dishes, and extra essentials that made our stay even more comfortable.The views were breathtaking, especially from the hot tub, where we could take in the mountain scenery. The secluded location made it feel like a true retreat, offering the perfect balance of relaxation and privacy. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway with amazing views and all the comforts of home, Thunder Ridge is the place to be. We can’t wait to come back!
This house was fantastic! We are used to staying slopeside but this house made it worth it to not be slopeside. An Amazing kitchen, living area loved that we could all be together and plenty of room for reverse charades!

Family vacation
Those were incredible days.
We highly recommend.
The house is very spacious and the view is spectacular.
The kids loved the experience of staying in the hot tub facing to the mountain.
I hope I can come back soon.
Thank you Vacasa for the amazing work. The house was extremely clean
If you are looking to enjoy some quality time with friends/family, this place is excellent! We stayed for a weekend bachelor/bachelorette party with 14 people. Beautiful views, near trails (check out the falls near by), plenty of things to do while there, even for those who don’t ski! We played pong, pool, karaoked, enjoyed the hot tub even spent some time near the fire. All in all a great place to book!
This was a fantastic vacation house.
We came in July and enjoyed all of the amenities in the home and the very private lot with beautiful views.
We highly recommend this home.
Clean. Spacious. Outstanding views!

Lots of space!
Overall we had a great stay at Thunder Ridge. There was a lot of space for 7 of us and we loved the layout of the house. It was clean and had everything we needed. Only reason we wouldn't give 5 stars is that there were a few lights and tvs that weren't working properly, and the road was in VERY rough shape. It felt like maybe the house just needed a little bit more TLC.
The house offered everything it said it did and more. Working with Vacasa was a great experience, I had a few questions when first arriving which they got in touch with me in a very timely manner.
House has great hot tub, game room and area in kitchen and living room which our large group gathered for meals and drinks. View was amazing. We had a good amount of snow and they did an amazing job with blowing. We hope to get back soon.

At first glance, this looks like an ideal vacation spot even if you don’t ski! Beautiful views from every window, spacious and lots to do from pool and ping pong tables to piano and hot tub! However, when it comes to comfort, it was a bit lacking: broken bed in first floor master, missing tv in upstairs master, broken recliner in living room, cracked bathroom basin. We were here for the Thanksgiving holiday so the stove top and oven were very important. The stove top was covered in some dirty cleaning paste and the grills on the stove top did not fit the stove. The burners also had mis sized metal toppers which caused 6 inch flames on high. The oven drawer was falling on the floor. It made it through dinner with some elbow grease and fine balancing of pots on the stove top. The beds were all extremely uncomfortable and the basement floor bedroom smelled like wet dogs. The hot tub needed to be cleaned twice because the first time there was too much chemicals put in. The management company did send someone out to fix that. Also, the amount and type of beds available is not accurately listed. 2 of the queen beds are actually full size pull out couches and the bed in the second floor master is also only full size. The linens and towels were plentiful and when it comes down to it, my entire family had a fantastic trip because we got the chance to be away from the world and enjoy each others time in a place that was fun and extremely beautiful. Just needs a bit of TLC

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad you and your family enjoyed the views, amenities, and time together at the property. Since your stay, the damaged beds have been addressed and will be replaced, and the broken recliner has been reported for repair. The half-bath basin, while cracked, is not leaking, and the listing accurately reflects the bed sizes. We appreciate your input and hope to host you again in the future.

The pictures of this rental were nothing like what i was shown, it was unsafe for my children, I contacted the Vacasa company and nobody got back to me about any of the conditions I walked into and I even sent them photos showing I how horrible and deceiving the rental was.
