A skiers and hikers oasis! Literally sleeps 22 people in beds and on couches. This is a farmhouse located on US Route 2, a mere ten minutes away from Sunday River Ski Resort, Grafton Notch State Park, the Appalachian Trail, amazing smaller hikes, Gould Academy and the quaint town of Bethel. Bethel features multiple fine and casual dining options, a movie theatre, groceries, and a water park. The house: 1860's Historic Greek Revival Farmhouse-Original Features-6 Bedrooms, 2.5 Baths. There is a winery and bbq on premises which is also listed as Winery Stay Experience if you want a fully staffed experience at the fully-licensed winery and bbq. (We will be closed to the public during the ski season). There is a pond and plenty of space for a wedding in the backyard. There are also hiking trails that traverse the mountain ridge in the backyard with amazing views of the river valley and Sunday River. We have about 20 pairs of ice skates on the porch. We can shovel off the pond if you want to skate or play hockey.
The room on the third floor features a king bed, a full bed and couch. There are four bedrooms on the second floor. Two of the four bedrooms have two beds in each room. One has a pull out couch. The last bedroom is a full bed on the first floor. First floor features include a full kitchen, living room and wood stove. We have left a fully stocked food pantry, spices, condiments and over 20 dishes, silverware, pots and pans, crock pots and much more. It’s a fully functional kitchen. If there is anything special you’d like to ask if we have- the answer is likely yes, but feel free to check. Plenty of parking is available with overflow at the church across the street. The driveway is a “U” so you can park in a formation where in the morning you can all leave at the same time to head to Sunday River. On the other side of Route 2 is the Androscoggin River, which is amazing for canoeing, boating, and tubing. Tubes are available and the boat launch is only a mile up river; or launch from the old bridge area across the street behind the church and float to the Rumford boat launch. A potato farm is across the street and snowmobile trails are accessible from the property. Jetski and snowmobile rentals are available. If you want to come home to a bbq dinner with wine and drinks, fully staffed, even for one night, that is possible for additional charge.
