Beautiful, organized and well stocked!

Jack and Martha were amazing hosts! They were attentive and extremely helpful. Jack would answer our texts within 5min! The home was clean, all drawers organized and our ocd was so unbelievable happy. Manuels on how everything works, so you were never confused how to turn something on or off. The laundry room was even stocked with tide laundry soap! The kitchen cabinets stocked with all kinds of seasonings, gorgeous pots and pans. My daughter is chef and she was thrilled to cook here. We made good food, great memories and can’t wait to rent this home for our big family vacation next July! The fire pit outside was magical and the views were breathtaking. We are planning on buying a home in the area for years- Jack even gave us his relator’s number so we can start making connections to buy in bethel. Great host, amazing house, and magical area. If you are on the fence- jump and rent this home!

Perfect Place for multifamily vacation

This property is beyond compare. It has a beautiful view with wonderful rooms indoors and welcoming outdoor spaces. The kitchen is well equipped for anyone who likes to cook. We were three generations staying for a weekend to attend a wedding.The house gave us plenty of private space plus great common areas. The hosts are wonderful. They communicate well, have printed instructions for everything and keep the house well stocked for any possible need. Better than many luxury hotels. The comfortable beds and bed linens were top quality. We have no complaints and can't say enough about what a great place this is to stay.

Rent this house, you wont regret it!

The house is absolutely stunning and immaculately clean. It is well stocked and includes nearly any ammenity you could think of. We went up with 5 adults and 5 younger children as a weekend family getaway for a Grammy’s birthday/retirement gift. It was important to find a house that was family friendly, and this checks all the boxes. The sitting areas and dining room are plenty large for everyone. The beds/bedrooms rival anything you could possibly find at a luxury hotel. The kids loved the downstairs playroom/family room. And the hot tub is great! It was a cold rainy spring weekend and we all still had a great time. Jack and Martha were welcoming hosts; reaching out to us before to go over any questions we may have had and were easy to reach. The Paradise Ridge Resort is highly recommended from a family of 10.

Family is priceless…

What a great experience we all had while spending time with family for a wedding in Bethel. This is definitely one of the nicest rentals I have stayed in. It was exactly as described in the listing. Communication was great, check in and out was easy. The owner provided everything we could possibly need. The bathrooms were well stocked and the kitchen was better equipped than home. We all slept great. The beds were comfortable and the quality of the linens were high end. The location was spectacular. We were close to town but it felt so secluded and relaxing. We felt so Welcome!!

Beautiful

My husband, daughter and I stayed at this beautiful house in Bethel with two other families and their children. We all try to plan a “friends trip” every August and this beautiful home was exactly what we were hoping for. When I say that this house has everything that we all needed, I’m not kidding. It’s perfect. Jack and Martha are wonderful hosts and they go above and beyond to provide even the simplest amenities to their guests. They are also very thorough prior to the trip, with reaching out to contact the person who booked the trip, just to clarify things and ask if you have any questions or concerns. They are also readily available for anything. The last night we were there, we tripped a breaker in the downstairs bedroom. I messaged Jack right away but that happened to be after 9:00 at night. He responded so quickly and he even called to talk to my friend to correct the breaker issue and to make sure that we were able to get the bedroom back in working order quickly. They offered great customer service to our group and we had such a wonderful time during our stay. We definitely look forward to staying at this house again!

Outstanding property!

Our group of age 60+ high school buddies converge to hike the White Mountains every year. This is by far the most beautifully designed, perfectly appointed home we have booked to date. Jack called in advance to brief us on bear and moose sightings, and to review the check in process. The home is immaculate, and every amenity exactly as advertised. The spacious hot tub was a welcome balm to our worn out joints after climbing Mt Myriah! The fire pit is situated to offer views of the valley below. The kitchen is fully appointed with all of the tools any chef could wish for - plastic food storage bags even have a designated custom wood partitioned size-organized drawer! This property will be top of our list for next year’s mountain adventure.

5 STARS ALL THE WAY!!

If you're thinking about renting this property do it!! We are 2 families from PA that have vacationed in many VRBO Maine homes over the years and this by far was the best! This house was simply amazing in every way. The home is gorgeous and so are all of the furnishings - everything is brand new. The beds are the most comfortable beds we ever slept in. The owners had the house supplied with everything you could ever need. It was more well stocked than my own house!! The bathrooms were supplied with full sizes of shampoo, conditioner, body wash - even toothbrushes if you forgot yours! We had 12 people and never felt crowded. The youngsters loved the game room. We all enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub almost every night! We loved sitting outside by the fire pit and stargazing. It was located in the cutest town and was in a great location for us to do some day trips. The owners were super great with communication - always replied within minutes. We hope to come back here again one day!!

A golfing weekend

The house was adequate. Everything was nice and plenty of beds, Although most of them were quite small. I felt the photos were a little misleading to the true size of the home and the size of the yard. It was still nice, just smaller than expected. The check in process was smooth but we constantly had an anxious feeling of being watched or our conversation being listened to through the home security system. Not the right place to rent if you have a larger group that likes to have a good time, it’s too restricting for that.

We had a lovely time at this beautiful home for a girls weekend. It was everything we could have asked for and more. The view is amazing from the large hot tub, spacious fire pit area to the top deck. The thoughtful welcoming note and treats were a pleasant surprise. The kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with all we needed and more. We enjoyed home cooked meals at the large dining room table. And also had some fantastic pizza from Sud’s. It was the perfect place for a relaxing get away. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home.
