5BR Ski house - 3 miles south of downtown Bethel

This 5 bedroom home was built in 2000, and has caretaker in a portion of the barn. The inside is clean, spacious, and comfortable. The kitchen is very big with a bar area that seats 4 comfortably and a large custom kitchen table that seats 10.

There are acres of property to roam on. 6 acres of land is across the street from the home alongside the pond . There is vegetation (trees and blueberry bushes) right up to the waters edge, with a nice dock area. You must cross the street to get to the dock area. Behind the house, there are some rugged trails and logging roads to roam around on. The logging roads were last used during the 2015 winter, so there should be some fairly open snowshoeing right on the property. The White Mountain National Forest is just to the south accessible near Pattee Brook Marsh and the Albany Notch Trail.

This was a beautiful home, stock full of everything you need on your vacation. The outdoor area was very nice to sit, have a fire and relax in the hot tub. The only problem we had was the house was full of flying ants and carpenter ants.

Plenty of room with bedrooms as advertised. Huge dining table able to fit our big group. Two fridges and nice appliances. Lots of parking out front. Responsive with maintenance. Had a hot water issue when we first arrived, but owner took care of it right away. Someone came and cleaned the hot tub and the front walk in the middle of our stay. The building has two units, with this rental being everything to the right side of the entrance door in the middle.

We had an amazing stay at this property! The house was spacious, cozy, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. One of the absolute highlights was the jacuzzi; enjoying it in the cold weather was unforgettable and truly made the experience special. The lake is just a few steps from the property, which made it incredibly easy to enjoy the scenery and spend time outdoors.The amenities were in great condition, and everything was exactly as described. The location is peaceful yet convenient, making it easy to unwind while still being close to town.Host Jim Dearden was outstanding. He was extremely attentive and welcoming, always making sure we had everything we needed. He followed up with us whenever something came up and responded very quickly to all of my questions. He was very attentive with us, making sure we had everything we needed and following up whenever we needed something.Overall, this was a fantastic stay, and we would absolutely return and recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-hosted getaway.

Jim was a great host and very friendly. From the beginning he communicated well and ensured we got in the house. The house was great with no issues and had everything we needed to cook breakfast and dinner. When we did need something Jim was only a call away and was very prompt to our needs. The house location was great. Very spacious and beds were great. Quick drive to Sunday River. The hot tub was a plus, especially after days on the mountain. I would rent this house again!

Family Getaway

Our first rental cancelled a month before our Saturday, and luck was with us when the previous renters for this house cancelled and we were able to snag it! The kitchen is probably the best we've been able to get. We are a large group and there was plenty of space for everyone. 2 fridges is brilliant! The large table was great for meals and games.The rooms were clean and the beds were good with nice bedding. I thought they were comfy, some in my group said too firm. All the towels were good quality, and there was lots of hot water! The house also supplied beach towels with was super convenient. We super appreciated the patio with the hot tub and fire pit right there! Many great memories made.The pond is shallow for a long way and a little reedy, but we had great fun in floats and kayaks. There is a loon nest nearby that we were asked to and happily stayed at least 150ft away from, because the nesting pair had an egg! All in all this was an amazing location and Jim was a pleasure to rent from. It's in our list of return destinations!

Fantastic winter stay on Songo pond

Jim's house was wonderful for our weekend ski trip. We had about 10 people staying in the house and we were all able to sleep comfortably, with lots of extra room. The kitchen was large and perfect for cooking for a large number of people. The hottub was also great after a long day on the ski slopes. There were lots of towels and linens available. The house is about 15 minutes away from both Sunday River and Mount Abram and about 8 minutes from Bethel. It's a great location and Jim was a great host. I highly recommend it!

Perfect for Groups!

My friends and nephews decided to book a last minute ski trip and Jim's accommodations opened up right in time for us. It was perfect for our needs. Nice big foyer to take gear off prior to entering the house, big kitchen table for us to all eat together, plenty of lounging space for us to play games, and very comfortable bedding. We also booked this for the jacuzzi, but never got to use it because we were so beat up from the mountain, we got lazy, but it is a huge plus to have that available. This house can also accommodate pets which was a huge requirement. The house is far enough away from the main road and provides a safe space for the pups to run around. Lastly, Jim is very communicative and really helped ensure the check-in process went smoothly. The periodic check-ins throughout the stay were appreciative. Overall, a great host and a great stay here, and would book again. Highly recommend!
