Quiet place in a nice quiet town

We wanted a place where we could visit friends and family and this was right in the middle. The house was clean and comfortable. The only issue was the grill needed to be cleaned so we did that. Joe was great to work with and everything worked.

Great ski holiday

The house is comfy and cozy with a well-stocked kitchen: it was perfect for our group of 8! After skiing at Sunday River all day, we would come home and fire up the wood-burning stove, prepare a big dinner and relax together. Perfect spot!

Perfect Ski House

Return visitors here to the Brook Cottage. The updates over the past year are really well done and we all appreciated the fully stocked kitchen with the new appliances! The cottage is the perfect space for our group of 3 couples and some kids; and is about a 10-15 minute drive to South Ridge at Sunday River. Thanks Joe and Jessica!

Absolutely worth it…We had a great stay.

Our family stayed at the house from 3/11 -3/14/22 and it was cozy, clean and very comfortable. The kids enjoyed a great weekend of snowboarding and we watched movies at night with the wood stove going. Would highly recommend to anyone. Joe and Michelle. Dighton, Mass.

Point 'em downhill, bub

We loved our stay at the Brook Cottage for an early ski season weekend. Only about a 5 minute drive to South Ridge, it was super easy to access Sunday River. The cottage is spacious and comfortable, and feels like a real ski house. The kitchen was stocked, the hot tub was hot, and the skiing was as good as we could have hoped for. We also went to The Gem to meet Maine's Finest Athlete. Highly recommend Brook Cottage!!

A short getaway

Very rustic and quaint ……. I know typically people wouldn’t vacation here in the summer months but only downfall was no fans or AC upstairs so it got somewhat stuffy upstairs. Luckily with the windows open at night the breeze was cool Enough to make it comfortable. Overall a great stay

Great place, very convenient location, close to bethel and sunday river

The Brook Cottage is a great place to stay and an amazing value given its location and size! It has the feel of a classic winter ski house and is ideal for large groups with three full bathrooms and 5 bedrooms with multiple places for people to sleep comfortably. It was very clean, in great condition and well organized. Kitchen is well supplied for cooking. It is a very quick drive to Bethel and Sunday River resort but secluded enough to be very quiet. They have a great hot tub. The owners are very responsive and flexible to work with. If we go back, we will definitely first check to see if this house is available because this is a perfect place to stay!

Amazing Family Holiday Stay

We (My family of 4, and in-laws family of 3) stayed at the cottage over New Year's and it was perfect. The photos online do not do the place justice! Everything we could have asked for was provided and the owner was very responsive. My 3 year old daughter wanted to stay there forever. The sleeping arrangement for 2 different families were fantastic as my SIL and her family took the two downstairs bedrooms, and my family took the two upstairs bedrooms. There was even another loft area if needed. Everything was clean, and appliances updated. The location was about a minute from downtown Bethel and not far at all from Sunday River. We will definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Great Spot Close to Sunday River

We stayed for two nights over a weekend with our friends. It was two families of five and four kids age 8 to 14. The house was perfect with plenty of space. Kitchen was well stocked. And we really appreciated how accommodating and responsive the owner was.

Great house, great location

This is a great house on a cool property. The location is perfect for skiing at Sunday River. The hot tub is really nice to have and the property is beautiful (saw deer) and dog friendly! Great find. It’s big enough to have a much bigger group. I would definitely want to stay there again.
