Had a wonderful time
We stayed at the end of August and had a wonderful time. Our host(ess) was very easy to communicate with and she provided us with plenty of information about the property and things to do locally. The kids spent alot of time at the swimming hole on the Sindsy river, as well as fishing there are plenty of brook and brown ttout in the river as well as some perch. We were pleasantly surprised with the assirtment of both indoor and outdoor games that were available to be used. This property is at the top of our list to return to as a vacation spot. On a side note while driving around sightseeing we came across a pie stand on route 26 heading towards Grafton Notch call Puzzle Mtn Bakery. They have some of the best tasting pies and jams I ever had. They also sell maple cream cookies and whoopie pies. If you are every in the Bethel area its worth the drive, dont arrive too early since the do not stock the stand until noon.

A great summer getaway!
Our week at this property was wonderful. Elizabeth’s communication was excellent and the house had everything that could be asked for. With Sunday River close by it was a perfect relaxing week away with friends! I would highly recommend it.

Family getaway
We had a great time at this beautiful property. Everything was just as described and everyone in our group had just right sleeping arrangements. We never used the swimming area with the children because the mosquitoes on the path were pretty awful and we were told by other members of the family that the water was very cold. No problem, we found many areas activities and played lots of games, inside and out. I was amazed at how well stocked the house was with just about everything we needed.

Weekend wedding
We were in the area to celebrate the wedding of a family member. The place was an excellent fit for us. The owner was very accommodating allowing us to check-in early and to check-out a bit later which was extremely helpful in facing the logistical challenges of the weekend wedding events. Beautiful property with a large field behind the house where kids have plenty of space to burn off energy.

Tired But An Excellent Value
We booked this house to sleep my bridesmaids in for our wedding we were having at a nearby property. We were impressed by the excellent communication of the host and the inside was immaculate even though the house was a little tired (nothing functional, just cosmetically). In terms of proximity to both town and Sunday River, its a total winner of a location. This would be a great property for a big family with little kids and/or dogs to enjoy the big lawn.

Wonderful Vacation Home - Great Time
We were 13 people, friends and family, and everyone had space in this lovely home. It was wonderful that you could always find a quiet space. The house was very spacious. The deck was very large and there was room on the deck for groups to gather and play games, chat, eat, etc. The fireplace was great at night. The lawn was huge and great for kite flying as well as many other games such as corn hole and ladder ball. We had many friendly competitions! Since we had some hot days, the water was very welcome! The younger kids loved jumping off rocks and throwing rocks. There were spots that were deep enough for swimming. Water was a bit chilly:-) We all loved the property and hope to return!
