Sunday River farmhouse

Very well restored home (from late 1700's) in a great location. Lots of room to spread out. Wonderful views. I suspect it would be even better in the summer and fall for a family. Easy winter drive to the Jordan or South Ridge; truly 5 minutes.

Would 100% recommend

Fantastic stay at this property - very cozy home moments away from the slopes. Visited with a group of 12 and we all fit in very nicely. With only two bathrooms for that many people, we had to be very disciplined with toilet times, but otherwise it worked out ok. Wonderful kitchen dining room, great for hosting large meals and playing board games.

Great Ski House with Unbelievable Views

The house was huge with tons of bedrooms and places to hang out together as a group. The large dining room table was a great addition. The best part of the house was the view of the mountain, we watched the New Year’s Eve fireworks from the front porch.

On top of the world

Fabulous, as if we rented our own estate for the weekend! , best views around, we felt as if we were still at the mountain even though we were actually enjoying the view from the Mountain House! A cozy fire, plenty of room and lots of wildlife, just a gorgeous ski weekend. If there's an opening next year, we will be back!

A nice family ski weekend at Sunday River!

This house has an excellent location minutes from the slopes. The home had ample space for 6 adults. Comfortable beds and plenty of room to spread out. Central kitchen for dining & entertainment. Gas fireplace kept us toasty! Ping pong table was a plus . Julie the owner was accessible and very helpful on a few of our needs. Great place for a winter getaway!

Rustic peaceful paradise

My husband and I are not from New England so this getaway was the complete opposite of what we’re use to coming from Georgia. Our stay at Mountain House was so relaxing, quiet and enjoyable. The fact that we didn’t even have to leave the property to enjoy views we’ve only seen online or in magazines was amazing. The property was clean and well maintained, any questions I had the owner answered right away. We will definitely be back to enjoy the breathtaking views of Sunday River right from the front window.

Christmas at Sunday River

The property has an extraordinary view of Sunday River. We watched the Christmas Eve fireworks from the front porch! The location is also great - less than 5 minutes to the parking area in Southridge Lodge. There is plenty of room for large groups to spread out with a den/study, living room, large dining room as well as TV room with nice gas log fireplace. The Ping Pong table was a big hit. Vintage farmhouse with lots of charm. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful Family Getaway!

What a wonderful home for a family ski long weekend! Julie was fabulous to work with and answered all of my questions quickly! The house was so spacious and it had everything we needed. We prepared meals with ease as the kitchen was fully equipped and had had plenty of seating for meals. The bedrooms were spacious and and beds so comfortable. The rec room they offer is equipped with a ping pong table and plenty books and games for kids! The gas fireplace was so wonderful after a long day of skiing. The views from this rental are spectacular and the location to Sunday River only a 3 minute drive. We didn’t want the weekend to end! Thank you Julie and Frank. We will be back!!!

Very warm couple and a historical home!

We really enjoyed our 5 nights at the Mountain Home, and Julie and Frank really were a pleasure to meet and get to know! The home is historic, so you should expect some idiosyncrasies, but it is very enjoyable. The kitchen is well stocked with things you may need, and we cooked breakfast and dinners and the girls baked brownies. Frank set up a grill for us and we did steaks one evening. There is a nice porch in the front with rocking chairs and this was our favorite hang-out spot in the evenings. They have an apple orchard in the back with string lights -- looks like a magical fairyland at night and a fun place to hang out! We played a lot of ping-pong and watched a nice movie on the TV in the living room. The only downside for us was that the wi-fi speed is very slow and I had trouble using my laptop for Teams meetings. The cell reception is pretty decent and we were able to work around by using mobile devices. Finally, Julie and Frank are very wonderful, warm people. Julie was nice enough to do some laundry for our kids who had just come from summer camp with duffel bags full of dirty clothes! They are highly responsive and wonderful to spend time with -- in our short stay we really hit it off!

Unfortunate incident handled poorly

Our stay at the house was interrupted when a sump pump in the basement of the home caught on fire. We were awoken to a fire alarm in the middle of the night, and needed to get everyone out of the house immediately. The fire department came and put out the fire, but the house was left with a terrible (and unsafe) smell. The fire department stated that windows needed to stay open for 2 days. It was the middle of winter, and I did not want my kids breathing the toxic chemicals in the air from the fire (nor did I want to deal with open windows). As a result, we decided to end our vacation early, which was a real disappointment. The home owner was reasonable at first, but clearly wanted us to complete our stay. She was in Florida, and didn't seem to understand the interruption that had occurred fully. I asked for a refund, and while she did refund me partially, she clearly did not understand our perspective, and instead did all she could do keep as much of her money as she could. The house is fine. Not great, particularly the lack of bathroom space and no laundry, but in general you do get what you see, and the location is awesome. The owner was pleasant to deal with up until there was an issue. Once there was an issue, I thought she proved to be selfish and not very reasonable. I know she will refute this, which is fine, but it is honestly how I felt, so rent with caution. They clearly don't properly maintain this aging house, and if there is an issue, she won't deal with it as you woudl hope/expect.

Great ski weekend!

My friends & I stayed at this house for a ski weekend & it was perfect. The house was large enough for our group of 11, plenty of bedrooms, it was clean and conveniently located minutes from the mountain. The host, Julie, was very communicative as well. The only thing the house doesn’t have is laundry. We got stuck in a very rainy/wet ski day so drying our gear was necessary. The fireplace worked wonderfully & the grand summit hotel is conveniently located 5 minutes away so we were able to use their laundry services as well. Overall, a great experience & would definitely stay again!

Spacious property in a top tier location with an awesome owner

This property was only a couple minutes away from the mountain and had an awesome view of the slopes from the farmer's porch out front. There was plenty of room for the 12 of us to sleep comfortably and hang out. The owner is also highly communicative and was incredibly easy to work with which made the experience that much better. Highly recommend!

My husband and I, along with 11 of our friends, stayed on the property for our wedding ceremony, also located on the property. The farmhouse and suite were clean and well-stocked with kitchen amenities (cookware, tableware, etc.) and complimentary bathroom products (soaps, towels, etc.). The atmosphere was very inviting and the interior decor and ambiance was absolutely amazing - very appropriate to the environment with many personal touches.

Peaceful Perfection

We recently returned from our stay at the Mountain House and are still reveling in all the memories we created surrounded by our family and friends. The Mountain House was the located we chose for our daughter's June 19 wedding. Have grown up in Maine and continuing to spend summers there with our children, a Maine wedding was a dream come true. Since the entire wedding party lives in Minnesota, sought out locations that offered lodging so we could spend our time together without being separated in hotel rooms. The Lodge and the Farmhouse on this pristine property were immaculate and allowed our party of 18 to enjoy time together while also providing quiet spaces for everyone to get away. The property owners were simply the best from day one! They were accommodating when we needed to drop off wedding supplies in order to make room in the car to pick our kids up from the airport which made our day worry free! The rooms and property were just as they appear in the pictures, clean, comfortable, and spacious. As an early riser, I spent mornings on the front porch looking at the spectacular mountain view with a hot cup of coffee. As a frequent traveler, I cannot speak enough about the owners and their communication with us and willingness to make our stay everything we needed and wanted. Thank you Frank and Julie for providing the perfect place for use to celebrate the marriage of our daughter and the end of Covid!!
