About the host

Hosted by Ken

Host profile image
My name is Ken and I have owned this house since 2018. I love to help families and friends get together in this huge home because it is absolutely perfect for those groups! I love that I can continue to add amenities (that I get to use too!) while keeping this property affordable and charming.

I manage this property myself with a small team of locals that are the best around. Dana manages the mowing, trash removal, and most importantly, the hot tub that gets checked after each visitor. Shelley and her team have cleaned the home for several years and do an excellent job.

Why they chose this property

Bethel is a hidden gem (it is also known for its gems!). I love the area the most for the skiing, hiking, and river floats on a hot summer day. Bethel is ideally located between two ski mountains that offer year-round adventures and endless hikes. Bethel also has a large gentle river that wraps around the town that makes it perfect for floating, canoeing, kayaking or swimming. The town is less touristy in the summer, allowing for quick trips to town where there are still plenty of stores and restaurants to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

The size and river access are the most unique things about this property but I also truly believe it offers a ton of extra amenities without the normally associated cost. The garage can fit 3 cars or become a rainy day game room. The backyard is huge and includes a wooded trail along a stream, as well as a grass path down to the Androscoggin River, where at lower river levels, a sandy beach appears. A portable firepit and 10 lawn chairs provide for those magic evenings.
