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 33 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 45 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, 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. Note: we have shared lawn space with The Country House to allow them to access the canoes and kayaks during times of year that permit it. This house can access the left dock facing the water and utilize the a portion of the left side of the lawn.

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.

We rented both the Maine House and the Country House next door for our small wedding weekend! Our family and close friends all had space to stay. The rain held off for us to do our ceremony out on the lawn, and then we went inside for dinner and dancing in the big room. It was perfect. The house has its quirks and it’s definitely a big old summer camp that could use a little maintenance, but it turned out really cute and exactly what we needed.

We had a group of 20 with another 6 joining us from the cottage. The scenic lakeside location with direct access from lawn to water was phenomenal. The lake water was exceptionally clean and the sound of loons peaceful. The extensive accommodations including numerous bedrooms and bed space as well as large, well-equipped kitchen, gave us good sleeping options and ease of cooking. The large number of bathrooms was a definite plus. Having the wrap-around porch with handsome dining tables overlooking the lake was a particularly nice feature. Outdoors, the grills and water equipment came in very handy. Communication with host before and during stay was prompt and effective.

Large space with heat issues

House was huge. Layout is a bit strange and things are generally dated. We had some major heating issues. The wraparound porch with dining tables was completely unusable - you can see your breath in there. The great room and kitchen were also frigid until we used the stove to boil water and oven on with doors open to heat it up. Owners provided 1 space heater on the first day and brought a 2nd one the next day but it was not enough to heat great room and kitchen. I'm sure this house is great in the summer with lakeside views. Host was always quick to respond though. However, heating solutions just was not up to par given the winter cold.

Good space for large group

Overall a large space for a big group that worked well for us - had some small issues that the owner was able to deal with.Would recommend that if staying in winter, know that the downstairs sleeping space can be quite drafty (there were plenty of extra blankets available) - keeping all the interior doors open downstairs will help to keep the warm air in the sleeping space.

Main House at Bryant Pond

We all loved the trip! The house was huge. The pictures did not do justice of just how big it is. The kids played hide and seek the first couple days in it. Beds were comfy no one in our group complained. The three refrigerators, three ovens and three dishwashers were amazing. We packed the fridges with our group of 16 easily haha. Plenty of seating in the great room for the one rainy night we had that we all plalyed games. That was so much fun! There was firewood and kindling already there in surplus so we had fires three nights in a row with plenty of seating for us around the fire. The pond is beautiful with a huge lawn area many picnic tables. The only thing that we had a problem with was that the listing did not clearly explain that the Main House has the dock on the left all to itself but the dock on the right the house next door has access to use along with the shed full of life jackets, the canoes and kayaks. So on day two when we were all outside some strange man walked over to our fire pit area to introduce himself and said him and his hiking buddies were going to use the right dock and swim. I initially told him that I didnt think that was correct and perhaps he had use of the public dock (the third one down) as the dock on the right is only 30 feet from the fire pit so we would be hanging out with strangers when we thought that we had a private booking for five families all related that hadn't vacationed together in 30 years. I was very disappointed with that

Family Tradition

We love staying here! We had been coming up since I was a baby and we are a very large family that has only grown more and this house has everything. The lake access is un-matched, tons of canoes and paddles and life vests for fun on the water. Huge fire pit is the center of most of our shindig. New picnic tables since the last time we came up, also some new furniture, bedding, and some other room updates, this post could use some updated pictures for accuracy, but in a positive way! So many bathrooms, perfect for a huge gathering of people and not something you find everywhere. The large living room with wrap around table area is great if you have a rainy day for everyone to be together inside but not on top of each other. Some things could use a little TLC, but it looks like they are doing that as they can and we're happy to see it! We love 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.
