Loved it!

Love the location. The home is beautiful with plenty of space. Brought lawn games to play and cooked dinner with friends. Had a great night sleep. The only comment I would make is that the house does get hot event with the thermostat turned all the way down. Will definitely consider staying here again.

Nice Place

We stayed here for the last weekend of our ten day trip. The house was as described and very clean. Lindsey was great and responsive. My grandson loved making a fire in the pit and we enjoyed sitting by it and enjoying the mountain view. The Mills Market down the street had great food and very friendly staff. Only drawback was the road noise was loud and frequent. Also, I understand why they would be there but the security cameras outside made for an uncomfortable atmosphere. Even with that, we would stay again. Overall good place.

Great weekend ski getaway

Our family (kids aged 2-10) stayed at this property for a weekend ski getaway at Sunday River. The house was very well equipped from the bedding to the kitchen equipment, everything felt new. My kids LOVED the bunk room with its own TV. We loved the pellet stove to take the edge off. The house is on a private lot and very quiet. Hope to stay again!

Presidents’ week vacation

This was a perfect house for my family to stay and enjoy skiing and snowboarding at Sunday River. Plenty of room to spread out but also be together. My 18 year old daughter and her friend really enjoyed the bedroom with the hangout area! Highly recommend this property. Our host, Lindsey was awesome!

A pleasant getaway for skiing in Sunday River

We stayed at this property for a one-week ski vacation with a total of 6 people. While there was about a 20 minute drive to Sunday River Ski area, the quietness, isolation, and no traffic fit us perfectly. There are stores and a Walmart supercenter within 10 minutes, which was very convenient. The bedrooms are roomy, and we all loved the spacious kitchen, which is fully equipped with quality cookware, plenty of plates, bowls and utensils. The house was very clean and stocked with clean bedsheets, bathroom towels, toilet papers, and paper towels. The host, Lindsey, responded my message immediately, even at 3AM! The check-in & check-out instructions were very detailed and clear. After skiing, back to the house, we spent the rest of afternoon and whole evening with friends. We enjoyed cooking, talking, laughing, and watching our favorite movies together. One of the bedrooms has a queen-sized bunkbed, a huge beanbag, and a TV, perfect for my boys playing video games. We had a great time! Oh, another important feature, the Wifi is great, which allowed me to finish some of my work! I would highly recommend this property!
