Wonderful house!
We stayed here with 15 people and skied at Sunday river. The house is gorgeous, well equipped with great amenities, and well located close to the ski mountain. The host is very responsive and helped us through a question we had with grace. Overall, we had a great stay.

Great spot for a large group!
Our group had a great time at the property. A very nice location and plenty of space. We were a little unclear and thought there was going to be an additional bed but we had someone back out and it ended up not to matter. Oh and also, MASSIVE hot tub. Overall I would recommend to a friend.

Wonderful Property
Our group of four families thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was large, clean, and well laid out, with plenty of activities (e.g., poker table, pool table, foosball table, etc.). Also, the host, Jess, was extremely responsive and communicative. Would not hesitate in recommending this property!

Ski Trip
This place was perfect for our group. Not all of us ski or snowboard but we always had something to do as bethel is a cute town with local cafes. It was so close to Sunday River for those who spent the whole weekend there. More than enough space for 15 people with our gear. Perfect to spend nights in together as a group to keep us entertained. Jess was also very responsive to any needs that came up. Can’t wait to come back next year.

Ski getaway
Fabulous huge home with all the right touches for a great ski getaway. Our family had a wonderful time skiing, cooking and dining in the giant great room, and playing billiards and foosball in the game room. Has everything you would want for a ski vacation.
