Great property, convenient location and excellent host!
The house is exactly as pictured. It's clean, airy, great view of the slopes from the huge windows in the living room! Kitchen has the core things you need. Kids really enjoyed the basement couch area. Host was super responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend!!

Reviewer Comments:
House was located minutes from the mountain, which we really appreciated. We stayed here with three families, and there was plenty of space for all.
Our stay at this ski house was absolutely phenomenal! The house itself was spacious, impeccably clean, and perfect for hosting a large group of friends and family for a big ski trip.The living areas were cozy, with a beautiful fireplace, and the bedrooms were spacious and clean. The hot tub outside was the perfect way to unwind after a day on the slopes. We had a question about how to work it and they sent someone out right away to help us! The location couldn't have been better – just a short distance from the ski resort, allowing us to easily hit the slopes each day, but also tucked away enough for some privacy. The host was lovely and responded quickly to our requests or questions. We even left some things behind and our host, Julia, was so kind to return the items to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay – we’re already looking forward to coming back!

This house has a great location and a nice set-up with bunk rooms downstairs and the other bedrooms upstairs. We appreciated the snacks and ski necessities like chapstick that were provided as a welcome gift. We wished there were more than just a few hooks in the mudroom to dry ski gear and the mattresses aren't the most comfortable, but overall it's a good rental for multiple families skiing Sunday River.
We had an amazing time having our annual fantasy football draft weekend. The house was just as advertised and very clean. A great location as well a short drive to stores, restaurants, breweries etc. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout. We’d love to come back again. Highly recommend!
The house was lovely - plenty of room for our group of 6 adults - and very clean. The beds were very comfortable and the foosball table was enjoyed. We appreciated using the firepit and the grill. Overall, we enjoyed the house and our stay. However, the house was very warm!!! We were there in August and it was 90+ outside and humid. Most of the time the main floor was well over 80 with both AC units and 3 fans running. The 3rd floor bedrooms, with the exception of the main bedroom which had an air conditioner, were unbearably hot. The listing says there are portable air conditioners but on hot humid days like when we were there, the 2 portable units are inadequate for the main floor. Obviously that is a non issue for fall/ spring & ski season visitors!

Great place to rent with family. Plenty of room and very comfortable. Close to mountain and Bethel. great Mountain View from living room and kitchen. Hot Tub was added bonus. My only complaint would be the floors and bath fixtures could be clean better. Floors had crumbs in corners and under stools. The bath had hair in Corner of shower on toilet seat and sink.
We were 4 families staying at this beautiful home for our annual ski trip. The beds were extremely comfortable, the home felt like a perfect size for us (4 couples, 3 small kids). Everything was clean. Easy entrance. Clear rules for exit. About a 4 minute drive to Sunday River. Beautiful views to wake up to in the morning. There are stairs up and down in the middle of the house so would just have to block those for little ones. Had nice pots/pans. Had coffee filters and spices for coffee and cooking. Couch in basement was spacious and comfortable as well. Would definately recommend!
We loved this house. We had 10 adults and there was more than enough room. It was clean and cozy. It was also so nice to be so close to Sunday River. I would love to stay at this house again.
This is probably thought of as a winter place for skiers and snowboarders but we just had a group of twelve late twenties / early thirties guys do a summer weekend here and we had a blast. The yard was great for games, the deck was awesome for spectating / trash talk, and between the grill and kitchen we had an easy time with food too. Overall we really enjoyed our stay!

Constructive Feedback
This property in Newry-Maine appears to be relatively new and the impression is that it might be more suitable for winter months than for the warmer season, especially because of lack of sufficient air circulation. There was a strong odor of wood when we entered the property and took a while to get used to it. Speaking of odor there was a stench of poultry in the lower level in and around the bedrooms and it stood steadfast and remained with us through our stay and refused to go away in spite of our best efforts to fan and freshen it away. The lack of air circulation felt in the house during the hotter months, could be because of the improper placement of windows that prevented the wind to blow from North and South through the property as it is located between two ridges, narrowly bounded and running along the east and west corridors of the Sunday River Valley, and of course not enough fans on the property compounded the issue. This property definitely needs ceiling fans in all bed rooms, as it felt like an oven in the night because of lack of adequate air circulation. We faced the issue of humongous flying bugs of the smaller variety, on the first day as we were not (made) aware of the level of flying bugs infestation in the area and also that we were not advised to open the windows and doors in the night (even with meshes, the bugs were unstoppable to any light in the premises) and dead bugs literally covered the kitchen floor and we could not locate vacuum and had to manually hand clean the floor - for some reason there was not expected level of response from the property management to our inquiries. The grounds around the lower level had a lot of broken glass (there was a notice posted - instead cleaning would have been better much appreciated and preferred) which was hazardous to people and cars alike and could have easily resulted in harm to the occupants one way or the other. The grill on the deck is another matter, as it did not have all four legs in alignment (and one was too short to lend any support), and was dirty at best and so we had to abandon any ideas of grilling. On the plus side there are a few interesting things to look around like one covered bridge, and a couple of waterfalls, decent views from the property and sufficient privacy.
We stayed at this house for the holiday. There is nothing better than arriving back from a long and fun ski day to a new house that is 5 min away from the resort with a new jacuzzi, fully equipped, super comfortable and well designed. Thank you and we are planning to come back!
