Rent this house, you wont regret it!

The house is absolutely stunning and immaculately clean. It is well stocked and includes nearly any ammenity you could think of. We went up with 5 adults and 5 younger children as a weekend family getaway for a Grammy’s birthday/retirement gift. It was important to find a house that was family friendly, and this checks all the boxes. The sitting areas and dining room are plenty large for everyone. The beds/bedrooms rival anything you could possibly find at a luxury hotel. The kids loved the downstairs playroom/family room. And the hot tub is great! It was a cold rainy spring weekend and we all still had a great time. Jack and Martha were welcoming hosts; reaching out to us before to go over any questions we may have had and were easy to reach. The Paradise Ridge Resort is highly recommended from a family of 10.

Family is priceless…

What a great experience we all had while spending time with family for a wedding in Bethel. This is definitely one of the nicest rentals I have stayed in. It was exactly as described in the listing. Communication was great, check in and out was easy. The owner provided everything we could possibly need. The bathrooms were well stocked and the kitchen was better equipped than home. We all slept great. The beds were comfortable and the quality of the linens were high end. The location was spectacular. We were close to town but it felt so secluded and relaxing. We felt so Welcome!!

Beautiful

My husband, daughter and I stayed at this beautiful house in Bethel with two other families and their children. We all try to plan a “friends trip” every August and this beautiful home was exactly what we were hoping for. When I say that this house has everything that we all needed, I’m not kidding. It’s perfect. Jack and Martha are wonderful hosts and they go above and beyond to provide even the simplest amenities to their guests. They are also very thorough prior to the trip, with reaching out to contact the person who booked the trip, just to clarify things and ask if you have any questions or concerns. They are also readily available for anything. The last night we were there, we tripped a breaker in the downstairs bedroom. I messaged Jack right away but that happened to be after 9:00 at night. He responded so quickly and he even called to talk to my friend to correct the breaker issue and to make sure that we were able to get the bedroom back in working order quickly. They offered great customer service to our group and we had such a wonderful time during our stay. We definitely look forward to staying at this house again!

For years, Jack and Martha Pesa had dreams of building a vacation home, where family and friends could gather to enjoy leisure-time activities, or peaceful scenic surroundings. They fell in love with the Bethel area after a family ski trip to Sunday River a few years ago - and instantly knew they had found the perfect location for their future vacation home.
