This place stands out for a few reasons. In my check-in conversation with the host (he said he usually meets people upon their arrival, but we were driving from far away and arriving too late for that), it became immediately clear that the building of this house was a labor of love for him. Every choice was made with thought and care. Every window frames a stunning snapshot of nature (woods, river, mountains, no people). The house was immaculate, the kitchen is well stocked, and Scott put breakfast items in the fridge for us. The beds are very comfortable. Scott was extremely communicative.

This was one of the nicest vacation rentals we've ever stayed in. The house was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed for our ski weekend, and the view of the river is stunning (even in winter). We felt fully prepared for whatever winter weather came our way (turned out to be 22" of snow) because Scott's home is so nice and well-equipped (generator, snowblower, driveway plowing service that was timely and thorough). The host was very communicative and personable, and he provided a detailed introduction to the home by phone when we got in to ensure a smooth and comfortable stay. We could not have asked for a better rental experience for our Sunday River family ski weekend. Would definitely highly recommend this home and would stay there again.
