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!!
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!
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.
This is a truly outstanding stay- way beyond the typical rental. The house is beautiful and the attention to detail is spectacular. My family gathered for a 50th birthday and this house made the weekend quite memorable. We all give it a 5++++++ rating!
Martha and Jack’s house is meticulous and comfortable. They have thought of every detail with the utmost consideration and organization for all ages. They are Ver responsive and accommodating. I recommend their house without reservation.
The house! Wow! My words can’t explain how gorgeous the house and the property is?! I would definitely be come back here again next year that’s for sure! ???
This property was simply amazing! From the check-in to the check-out everything went very smoothly. All the personal items you would need (and totally forgot at home) were already there. Shampoo, conditioner, tooth brush and tooth paste, as well as contact case and solution were already stocked and waiting! Beds were amazingly comfy and hot tub was super relaxing! 3 families each with 2 kids slept and played from sun up to sun down!!
We loved our stay at this home! The house is beautifully decorated and full of thoughtful high end touches. It was very well stocked and had everything we needed and more. The home has a very cozy feeling and was very comfortable for our two families of 5. Jack and Martha were great hosts and are very on top of things. We would absolutely rent this home again.
The house is beautiful and more thoughtfully stocked/arranged than anywhere else I've stayed before. Gorgeous views as well. Our group enjoyed making meals in the kitchen and playing games around the fire after skiing.
The house was very nice. Great layout. Hosts were very accommodating. Highly recommend this home.
We very much enjoyed our stay over MLK weekend. The house was beautiful, just as described and well stocked. Jack & Martha thought of everything--including books, puzzles, and a library of games to play! We were even able to sled on the hill outside. It was great!
Second year, and already planning year three! Picture perfect, great communication with owner, comfortable environment, the list is endless!
Home was beautiful and comfortable for everyone. We had an enjoyable time during our stay.
I cannot express in words how happy we were with this rental house and it’s owners. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay in their house. The owner was also available to answer any questions I had. I can’t wait to plan my next visit! The pictures and descriptions were perfect, however, in person it took my breath away.
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!!
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.
House was even better than the pictures depict, beautiful property and decor with fantastic views and setup. What sets this rental apart for me was the attention to detail, it seems the owners anticipated our every need. Special place, would absolutely be our go to rental in the Bethel area.
Seriously amazed on how much thought they put in to setting up this house. All the little details were there. The house was absolutely gorgeous and had stunning views. The owners were also super nice and helpful. Everyone in my group was already talking about returning again!
