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.

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth Richmond

Host profile image
We personally built this house, including lifting walls! We are a married couple of many years and spent many weekends jumping in a truck to make the trip from Massachusetts to Bethel to work on our house. We currently live a few miles from the property and personally maintain the property.

Why they chose this property

We love the Bethel area and all the people who have become our friends. Extremely private and well maintained property. The back yard, field and river are a bonus! Easy and quick access to the village and businesses.

What makes this property unique

You will feel yourself relax whether in the house, on the deck or on the river. The property offers privacy, with only one neighbor across the street with a home that sits behind trees a long distance from the street. Beautiful foliage surrounds our house. Events in the area include the festivals in Bethel, Sunday River and nearby Fryeburg Fair. Fall in love with the views of the field and mountains in the background when you sit on the back deck. The house has several sitting areas with couches, 6 TV's and comfortable furniture. Tastefully decorated. Beautiful fixtures. Fully furnished, including kitchenware, bed linens and towels. Ample parking. Great back yard, field and beach for fun with family or pets.
