We’ll stocked kitchen , clean. Easy check in and out . Easy access to property manager with questions.
This rental was exactly as described- clean, spacious, and convenient to Sunday River. We enjoyed the hot tub and traveling with our lab!
It was so clean, comfortable and location was perfect for Sunday River skiing
Great proximity to Sunday River, excellent space in the house for both sleeping and lounging, and the landlord was very communicative and helpful! Great place all around!
This house had everything our group was looking for. Good location (close to Sunday River), surprisingly well-stocked kitchen, plenty of space (both bedrooms and common areas), and the best part was the hot tub. Really, no complaints. We would definitely stay here again!
The Orchard House has a great vibe-lovely, cozy and super clean-but without making you feel like you can’t “live” there. Kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials, which was a great surprise. The pics are accurate, but don’t quite do it justice. It’s less “campy” than it seems. Great to be in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to trails along the river, yet still close to town and the mountain. I almost gave 4 stars ONLY because the heat was very inconsistent (comfortable downstairs, scorching hot upstairs); and a snow removal crew showed up unannounced at 7AM on a Saturday morning to snow blow the porch and yard. They made a huge racket for a job that should have been taken care of on Friday afternoon.
This house was just what we were looking for in a getaway. The place is very clean and well appointed. The kitchen and family areas were comfortable. There are tons of games and puzzles which was fun for us after skiing. Thanks for a great stay!
The house was clean and well equipped. We enjoyed our weekend. Easy ride over to Sunday River.
It was the perfect rental for my friends and I. The house is the perfect distance from the ski resort and even has views of the trails in the distance. It has a right at home feel that makes you think you've been there before. Absolutely would recommend.
