Lakefront, Near Sunday River, Steam Rm, Firepit, HUGE Kitchen, LG Fireplace

The Maine House is in the Village of Bryant Pond, aka Woodstock, 14 Miles to Sunday River & Mt. Abram skiing & the Town of Bethel.

Appealingly, this very large house has an extremely relaxed environment for sizable groups of up to 35 guests. The kitchen and dining area are highly suitable for catered events and the yard is perfect for large functions to include weddings and special ceremonies. The wrap around porch dining area seats up to 55 people. This property is the perfect setting for any group outing or get-together. Open year-round, it's fully equipped with all the basics from pots and pans to sheets and towels. There are also added and attractive perks such as an enormous fireplace in the Great room, a large steam room, WiFi internet access, TV/DVD, sound system with CD player... Outdoor perks include canoes, kayak, windsurfer, picnic tables, a gas grill and more.

Down East Magazine quote: 'The house is operated like a self-service inn; it works like a hostel, albeit a deluxe one, or an inn with no innkeeper.'

EARLY CHECK-IN/LATE CHECK-OUT: We will negotiate an early check-in time and/or a late check-out time if there are no back-to-back groups with reservations.

We have TWO houses, The Maine House #102687 and The Country House #153426, which are in close proximity of each other.

Let it also be noted that during the summer months (June, July, and August), we just book for a week at a time (Saturday to Saturday) for The Maine House.

Spacious with beautiful lake views
Our church spent Easter weekend here and we loved it! We were a large group (22 adults and 15 children) in this house but felt like we had enough room. Favorite feature was the wrap around porch with dining table and large windows over looking the lake. The kitchen is well stocked. The host was very responsive. I would highly recommend. Just a note if you’re bringing children- there’s a nice amount of children’s books and a few games, but no toys. There is one high chair and 2 pack and plays.

Great city escape!
I came to this house with a group of friends to take a break from Boston city life and to do some leaf peeping. We all had a wonderful stay! The house is expansive and has a breathtaking lake view. The host is very responsive and helpful. Many hiking options nearby.

Oh the view
This place was perfect for our large group of families. Truthfully we spent almost all of our time outside and why wouldn’t you, with two docks, a beautiful yard and just a ton of frontage to the pond. Overall a great experience and would highly recommend to any large group.

Pluses and Minuses...
This is on a spectacular lake with a great yard and expansive water view. The canoes, kayaks, picnic tables and firepit were great. The kitchen is well appointed with nice appliances but they need a better cleaning of them and to fix the non-working burners. There were a lot of bathrooms, however very dated. The house needs some TLC, a deep cleaning and a considerable makeover... It needs new mattresses and furniture. It has a lot of potential. Despite the campiness of it, we had a great time and it was commensurate with the price for our family of 23. The pictures show it looking a little nicer than it is. Tim, the host was great and answered our questions leading up the the visit rapidly.
