About this property

Orchard House - Pet Friendly and secluded house w/ hot tub and Barbecue.

Captivating views and the unbeatable landscape set this home apart from any others in the area. The Orchard House is nestled into the mouth of Grafton Notch among some of the highest, most stunning mountains on the Eastern half of the country. The home is on a dead-end street tucked in between tall pines so traffic and noise is never an issue.

This three bedroom, two bathroom home is situated to give guests easy access to fishing and swimming in the Bear River during the summer, hiking and hunting in Grafton Notch during the fall, Skiing at Sunday River during the winter and snowshoeing the Puzzle Mountain Preserve during the Spring. With endless recreational options from the doorstep, guests are able to explore for days. Snowmobiling and cross country skiing are also accessible from the property and in the summer, guests may opt to visit the natural water slide at Step Falls, only moments away.

If you are In search of a destination getaway that will offer you all the thrills of Western Maine living, this home will allow you to do just that. At night, the darkness, away from town lights, will lend itself to the most enchanting star-filled sky to be seen.

The layout of the Orchard House provides one main-level bedroom and a main level bath. The bedroom has closet space and storage is available so that you can settle into your stay comfortably. The main level bedroom offers Twin Bunk Beds and end tables. The bathroom on this level is full, with a step in tub/shower configuration.

The kitchen has been upgraded with stainless steel appliances and a gas range. The home is stocked with all basic utensils, just bring your favorite groceries! (We recommend S'more ingredients because there is a wonderful outdoor fire pit just off of the porch).

Upstairs, the master bedroom and attached bath offer a private accommodation option. There is a queen sized bed, end tables, and storage as well. A second Bedroom consists of a Twin Over a Full Bunk Bed.

Additional sleeping is available in the upstairs loft as well as the downstairs sunroom.

For communal gathering space, guests will enjoy the open living area on the main living level. With tongue and groove ceiling and two large sliding patio doors, this room encompasses the surroundings to provide a rustic, “Maine Woods” feel.

The bonus living room is off of the open area and has large windows to draw in natural light. The vaulted ceilings and access to the porch make this room an ideal spot to read and unwind with hot cocoa after a day on the slopes.

If your muscles are sore after a long day of skiing, you may choose to relax in the outdoor hot tub. There could not be a more peaceful place to do this! The tranquil scenery is just as relaxing as the hot tub itself!

*The wood-burning fireplace is NOT available due to the safety concern of it being flued together with the oil furnace.

Our family (2 adults, three kids age 10-14) loved our stay at the Orchard House. Logistics were simple as the host was so easy to work with. The property was a clean, comfortable, and spacious - perfect for our ski trip and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Everything we were looking for.

This house had everything our group was looking for. Good location (close to Sunday River), surprisingly well-stocked kitchen, plenty of space (both bedrooms and common areas), and the best part was the hot tub. Really, no complaints. We would definitely stay here again!

Better than expected

The Orchard House has a great vibe-lovely, cozy and super clean-but without making you feel like you can’t “live” there. Kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials, which was a great surprise. The pics are accurate, but don’t quite do it justice. It’s less “campy” than it seems. Great to be in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to trails along the river, yet still close to town and the mountain. I almost gave 4 stars ONLY because the heat was very inconsistent (comfortable downstairs, scorching hot upstairs); and a snow removal crew showed up unannounced at 7AM on a Saturday morning to snow blow the porch and yard. They made a huge racket for a job that should have been taken care of on Friday afternoon.

Definitely renting again

It was the perfect rental for my friends and I. The house is the perfect distance from the ski resort and even has views of the trails in the distance. It has a right at home feel that makes you think you've been there before. Absolutely would recommend.

Perfect for a cozy getaway!

This is a warm, cozy house that had everything we needed. It is about a 10-15 min drive to Sunday River, in a very quiet neighborhood. We brought our dog and there was a great trail behind the house along the river. Would definitely stay here again.

Take Me Back

What an absolute gem this property turned out to be. Extremely quiet, which was quite the luxury for us New Yorkers. The kitchen is beautiful and well-equipped. Comfort pours over every surface of the living space, especially when you get the furnace burning. And don’t even get me started on the amazing hot tub. We found so many enjoyable shops and sights nearby, but let’s be honest, I could have stayed in the cottage the entire time. Thank you Mark for sharing this wonderful space.

Perfect home

Our stay was perfect. It was exactly what we needed, some R&R. The house had everything we needed to enjoy our time. The trails behind the property were perfect for a morning stroll, the neighborhood was really quiet and made us feel like we were the only ones around. Getting into town was only about 10-15 minutes away where we found some great little spots for food, shopping and groceries. I would definitely come back and hope to again soon!

Great ski weekend

Had a great ski weekend with friends at Sunday river, would definitely come back again. Unfortunately had some small problems with the hot tub but Mark was very responsive and had someone out there the same day when I notified him of the issue. The house and property were great and the dogs loved running around in the snow. Will definitely be back!
