Bethel Gem

We had the pleasure of staying at this home for the month of February where we used as home base for a ski house. Little did we know about how much more it was. Its scenic location, breathtaking views and sunrise/sunsets are what calendars are made from. The house was modern, very well kept, had everything we needed to make it feel like home. Very clean, just perfect for what we were looking for. The drive to the mountain was only 15-20 min pending traffic, and downtown Bethel even closer. The only thing better than the house was the host, who always was available and checked in regularly on our stay and if we had any needs. 5 starts all around. Would definitely stay here again!

Ein Traum wurde war.

Ein exklusives Haus am Fluß. In diesem Haus fehlt es an nichts. Eine geräumige Garage vor der Tür. Die Technik vom Feinsten. Die Ausstattung perfekt. Alles sehr hochwertig. Die Dekoration zurückhaltend aber mit ausgesucht schönen Dingen gestaltet. Wir haben die Ausflüge in die White Mountains genossen und uns aber auch jedesmal wieder auf "unser zuhause" gefreut.

If Perfection Was a Place….

This would be it! The views are unrivaled and the architecture of the home highlights the beauty of the nature that surrounds it. We had a blast tubing down the river and taking quiet walks around the property. Scott is a kind and communicative host. Our stay was magical. Thank you!

A Little Paradise

I cannot say enough good things about this amazing home and wonderful owners. The location is a perfect distance to summer hiking, kayaking on the river, a community garden, great places to eat, buy food, local shopping, Sunday River and even the local airport. And if none of those appeal to you, simply spending time at the house is relaxing enough. For me, the home itself was my kind of dream home. The set up makes you feel comfortable right away, and the house is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. The owners are incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating, and made sure I was settled and comfortable for the stay. I can say that I was relaxed and fully enjoyed every second of the completely stress free stay, and I hope that I will be able to return many more times in the future!

A Top Experience!

This home and location are spectacular, and our host, Scott, was welcoming and kind. There is so much to do in the area, or you could choose to do nothing but enjoy the amazing view from this property all day and it would be time well spent! We did it all! Super clean, exceptionally designed house, with all the conveniences. A favorite thing, aside from the view, was the calm and quiet, both inside the house and outside on the deck and in the yard. We spent 4 days/nights here and I didn't want to leave :)

Stunning view !! Beautiful Home !! Amazing host !

Our Host Scott was amazing !! He met us at the the house and gave us the tour of the home . He gave us suggestions of restaurants and places to see in the area .One was the Grafton Notch state park which we loved ! The house was beautiful and immaculate and stocked with everything you need for cooking ! The view was amazing of the Androscoggin River and mountains and it was fun to watch all the people Kayaking, and tubing down the river ! The bed was super comfortable ! This was the place we needed to get away from it all as it was so private and quiet ! We have found our gem ! We would certainly re-book ! Thank you for everything Scott hope to be back next year !

Bethel Hiking/Kayaking/Biking Vacation

We had a wonderful vacation and were thrilled with the location we picked. Scott (the homeowner) greeted us and showed us around this modern, clean, and efficiently laid out vacation home. The location was perfect for a quiet getaway. We loved the wooded setting with beautiful views of the Androscoggin River and mountains in the distance. The photos are great but it’s more impressive in person. The temperatures were in the 90s during the first several days of our mid-June vacation, and the air conditioning effortlessly kept the home at a consistent comfortable 71 degree temperature. We found several mountain hikes (with shaded trails that made the heat tolerable) and waterfalls nearby that we thoroughly enjoyed. Kayaking on the swift flowing Androscoggin River (including past the home) was an absolute blast. We found downtown Bethel to be close-by and convenient, and we enjoyed trying different restaurants / brew pubs in the area for dinner each evening. My wife and I look forward to returning for a future vacation getaway, maybe a ski trip next! There is so much more to see and do in this spectacular area than we could in just our short five day vacation. Thanks again Scott.

Truly Exceptional!

What a Special Place!! Stunning view of the river. Exceptionally clean, modern and well-appointed property. Kitchen had the best and most dishes, utensils, appliances and consumable pantry items of any property we’ve stayed at. The home is a model of energy efficiency and thoughtful design. There was even a desk with a large monitor and river view for our remote work, and a 2nd desk in the one bedroom for conference calls. Home has DSL speed internet and an AT&T signal strong enough for 35 Mbps down, 10 Mbps up hotspot. Scott met us to introduce us to the property and show us around the place that he is deservedly proud of. Excellent communication and the few questions/concerns we had were immediately addressed. We were here for a working ski week - Sunday River was a 15 minute drive with ample mid-week parking close to the lodge. But, we we’re just as happy returning to this property because it was so serene and beautiful! We'll definitely be returning.

Another wonderful stay

Our second stay at Scott's place. His house is by far the nicest VRBO we have ever stayed at. It is appointed with everything we need, Scott leaves breakfast goodies which are much appreciated, and the views of the river from almost every window are spectacular and serene. The house aesthetics are a perfect balance of practical and beautiful. There are nice walks out the door, skiing and hiking is close by, as are restaurants that rival some of Portland's great eateries. The only thing that is difficult when we are there is deciding whether to linger on the couch and watch the meandering river, or head out on an adventure.

Great mountain retreat

Scott was the consummate host- he greeted us at his home to make sure we found our way-we arrived late and in the dark- and proudly showed us all the house's offerings. The house is beautifully appointed and had amazing views of the mountains and Androscoggin River with an abundance of wildlife to watch for. We loved coming back from skiing at Sunday River to a cozy home to cook and share meals together and relax! Thank you- we can't wait to visit again in a different season to see the beauty of Maine!

One of the nicest VRBOs we have ever stayed in. Quiet, stunning views of the river, well appointed and artistically decorated house, great communication with Scott, located close to Bethel's fabulous restaurants and lots of local hiking. It's even nicer than the (already nice) photos. We hope to return soon!

Amazing views, peaceful and relaxing

Our first time in Maine and it was perfect. If you are looking for a beautiful home that offers peace and tranquility, this is the place! The view of the Androscoggin River can be seen from almost every window of the home. The patio also provides a serene environment overlooking the river and woods. We saw wild turkeys with their little ones daily. The home is beautiful inside, exceptionally clean, fully equipped kitchen, and the beds are very comfortable. It is your home away from home. The town of Bethel is only a few miles away and has a wonderful cafe and bakery, grocery store and the ambience of a small home town. You will not be disappointed!

Several local places to fish as well as right there at the house. Local places to eat and shop were a bonus as well. Just a very relaxing week. Hope to go again.
