What a beautiful home ! Thank you for sharing it with us and for filling it with all the extras we didn’t need to buy . You supplied toiletries , coffee bar , and the games . Our family came from Long Island and Florida so not having to pack those things was great . The home was clean and welcoming and we’d highly recommend this host . She replied to any questions almost immediately . It was a relaxing ,fun family get away !

This house was absolutely beautiful. Dawn literally thought of everything and then some. The rooms were clean and spacious with loads of amenities. Our family traveled from all over the country for this vacation and it was totally worth it. Huge firepit, swimspa, games, gorgeous house, and peaceful views. What else could you ask for??? We had a blast!!!! Thank you so much!

Dawn’s chalet was an amazing place to stay for our summer trip as a family. Plenty of room, so it never felt like we were on top of each other. Beautiful views and top notch amenities! The hot tub was so amazing our niece refused to get out of it. Town was quiet but the people were lovely. We explored the outdoors a bit at the Mahoosuc Land Trust down the road and did two floats with Maine River Runners on the Androscoggin River. We spent some time on the Chondolas at Sunday River Resort as well as a live music and a lobster bake on the top of the North Peak. Dawn was very responsive with any questions we had and we appreciated how welcome she made us feel! Thank you for every memory made! Would recommend this for anyone wanting to relax, explore, or hike around Bethel!

Fabulous chalet in the woods! Our family group of 14 enjoyed the lovely home and great amenities such as the swim spa, fire pit and sauna. We stayed 5 nights and made lots of wonderful memories! Thanks Dawn!

We stayed at this house for our annual group trip and had a wonderful experience. The house was clean, spacious, and perfect for accommodating a large group comfortably. The kids especially loved the spa! Grocery stores, cafes, restaurants and activities were just a 5-10 minute drive away, which made things super convenient. Dawn is a wonderful host. She was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We’d definitely recommend this home to anyone looking for a great place for a big group getaway!
