fabulous stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Gingerbread! The house was beautifully decorated, warm and cozy, and the Gameroom was amazing. Perfect location near downtown Bethel and Sunday River ski resort.

Ski trip success

The Gingerbread House was perfection! From the great layout to the curated decorations this was the best home we have ever rented. When Sunday River was closed for dangerous wind conditions the day was saved by all the fun we had playing games at the house! The location was private, but convenient and the views were gorgeous!

Bachelorette Weekend

The house decor definately represented Maine. It was everything we were looking for our girls bachelorette weekend. We wanted it to be relaxing and low key and the house definately gave off that vibe. Highly recommend this place!

Great cabin close to Bethel

The Gingerbread was great. All was as advertised, the beds were comfortable and the kids loved the game room. We came at the end of July, so warm as expected so had to keep up with opening the windows and turning on ceiling fans. We maybe should have brought one or two more box fans to really keep the air moving. Would stay again!

Great Getaway

The Gingerbread was a fantastic getaway during a stressful time. The house was clean and comfortable with fantastic views and wonderful personal touches. It was so good that we would have extended our stay an extra week if it wasn't booked right after us.

Fabulous & fun house!

We just stayed at the gingerbread house with our 2.5-year-old son and good friends and had a blast. The house itself has a great set-up and was very clean. The hosts communicated very clearly with us and were quick to respond to inquiries and were very accommodating with some special requests. Would highly recommend this - especially given proximity to sunday river for skiers - to anyone!!

What a Stay

This is a great home. So comfy, cozy, and bright. I spent time with my family, kids, and the kids friends. They went snowboarding while we hit up the local spots and then quite quality time enjoying the jacuzzi. The hosts is AMAZINGLY friendly and informative! Hope to make it up again soon

Off the beaten path

My wife and I were taking our first trip in a few years with just us and this cabin the woods of Maine was the perfect choice to make that happen. The cabin itself had everything needed for settling in and having a great time there, games, great views, the stars at night!!! The cabin was located in a great spot, fairly close to a small town with great grocery options, awesome restaurants, and quick access to tons of hiking and exploring. We cannot recommend this cabin enough for those looking to stay in this area!

Great spot for a families

We were in Bethel to visit Sunday River over Christmas week and this home exceeded our expectations. Recent record floods meant many of the area businesses were closed and the skiing was very limited, but we had a wonderful stay in this home and didn't mind spending more time staying in. I contacted the owner to check on the area conditions prior to traveling over a thousand miles for our visit and he promptly responded. It is a very short and easy drive into town and to Sunday River. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals and being able to do laundry and have a giant mudroom when staying somewhere for a ski week is always a plus with a family and their gear. There is plenty of comfortable seating for dining and lounging in front of the fire or TV. The basement game room provided hours of family entertainment. We picked up some firewood from the Shell station on the way home from the slopes one afternoon so we could enjoy roasting marshmallows and hotdogs in the outdoor firepit in the light snow. The downstairs bathroom does have a tub which can be important if you have smaller children. I really can't think of any negatives. The only very minor suggestion that I can even come up with if forced to do so would be perhaps a step stool for shorties like myself (5 ft 2 in) so I could reach the tops of the tall kitchen cabinets or to the fabric softener on top of the stacked washer dryer but that is being nitpicky. This vacation rental is as perfect as it gets.

Amazing property

The Gingerbread is an amazing property, just 10 minutes from Sunday River and close to town. We have stayed at several properties in the Sunday River area and this house by far exceeded expectations. We stayed 4 nights with my husband, 1 year old and mom. The property was clean upon check in. Chris communicated with me prior to check in and let me know we could check in early. The decor throughout the house was so thoughtful and true to a ski chalet. The views were amazing. The true star was pub winterfell and the rest of the games and entertainment in the basement. Since we have a 1 year old we were able to enjoy ourselves in the basement each night. We are already looking at our calendar to see if we can book again before the winter is over.

Excellent place to stay

The property was accurately described in its Write ups. It was warm and welcoming. It had enough amenities to keep all the guests entertained. Adults and children alike had a fantastic stay. It was close to the center of town and Sunday River. The property was up to date and clean. The owners were thoughtful enough to provide a manual to help provide guests with any questions that one may have about the property. They were responsive and available for any questions we may have had. We will definitely rent this property again. This is the gold standard for vacation rentals.
