Photos and Description of the Greenwood vacation house rental 4 bedrooms 2 baths, sleeps 8

On a quiet peninsula with exceptional water views from every room and decks on all four sides, this sunny 4-bedroom turn-of-the-century cottage near scenic Bethel has been lovingly restored. Peaceful, comfortable, private and well-equipped, the house works well for caring families or groups. People love it and typically stay right on the property it is so relaxing. There are really 3 'master bedrooms,' one smaller bedroom, and a toy room nook with queen sleeper. The house, with a beautiful new screened porch, has been totally redone and furnished with antiques, including a player piano, and an old woodstove. Hidden behind the charm, are modern conveniences, radiant heat throughout, dvd, washer dryer and side-by-side refrigerator. It is a wonderful year-round vacation home on a pretty crystal clear lake. Renters have loved the house and spot for over 20 years - read the reviews. Beautifully sited on a point of land, the house is very private but only 7 miles from Bethel.

Further details for this vacation house rental in Greenwood, Maine

Sadly, our own family won't be using Greenwood much this year which opens it up more for renters. We've rented for over 20 years and people have been extremely happy with this special spot in a wonderful house. It's so comfortable and relaxing once you arrive that most people stay on the property most of the time, even though there are many activities and resturants in the area. Nearby Bethel is considered one of the prettiest villages in the state, and because of the 4 season appeal has both the beauty of its natural surroundings plus many fine restaurants and numerous other amenities.

We love this property and seek renters who will enjoy its serenity and respect the great effort we've taken in its care. It is terrific for 3 generations, young families, couples who appreciate the private scenic setting, but we do have good neighbors, and want to keep it that way. There are so many wonderful outdoor activities but if you get stuck inside for whatever reason, you will love the coziness and bright, warm atmosphere of this lovely scenic home.

Guestbook Comment

Ann & Peter Yarmouth, Maine
Review Submitted: November 27, 2007 Date of Stay: November 2007
Thank you for sharing your amazing cottage. We had the quintessential Maine fall weekend. Hiking around the lake, relaxing by the fireplace. Breathtaking views of the sun rising over the mountain greeted us each morning. Your recent renovations have made this spacious house so cozy and accommodating. We felt at home right away and loved it. Looking forward to a repeat visit in wintertime.

enchanted retreat for the soul

Nostalgic Nancy MDI, Maine
Review Submitted: May 29, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
When my honey asked me where I wanted to spend a week for my fiftieth birthday, my mind travelled to foreign countries and exotic beaches yet somehow the thought of airplane travel and condo rentals just didn't feel right to my soul. What DID feel right was a remote cabin on a lake in Maine (mind you I live in downeast coastal Maine). So began my internet search which became quite extensive. After reviewing literally at least a hundred places, the Greenwood Cabin caught my attention. There's something to be said for intuition.
The cabin reminded me of a storybook, so cozy and lovingly appointed. Old fashioned down to the origional wood stove in the kitchen that has been restored to gas and electric! A pure joy to cook in for the foodies with a nostalgic leaning. All the restoration is top quality, not only in the kitchen but throughout the house, all with comfort, convenience, and beauty in balance. Dinners by the open fire in the fieldstone fireplace on the screened in porch, listening to the loons and the wind in the trees. No need for radio, T.V., the sounds of nature are as variable as theweather in Maine, all of which we appreciated, including downpours, thunderstorms, birds, etc. We barely left the cabin except for daytrips( of which there are many lovely options), so we really got to tune into the shifting light throughout the day on the decks around the house and little balcony off the bedroom upstairs, not to mention the heavenly hammock overlooking the lake. This place truly felt like a home away from home, with its personal touches from incredible reading material and old games, very sweet artwork depicting precious family times on the lake,to nice dry and abundant firewood for the woodstove and fireplace, and very comfy couches, beds and, yes, even a windowseat to watch the moon rise.
The lake itself is enchanting, as are the woods around the cabin and the lovely plantings in the yard. I was pleasantly surprised to learn of a young apricot tree near the hammock! The water gently laps the forest edge, with a nice sandy shallow bottom and a swing to watch the water. I would reccommend this place for a solitary retreat, romantic getaway(which I actually got to experience some of each), and also for families with young kids . I would imagine it would be an ideal winter getaway as well, perfectly cozy and enchanting. Can't wait to experience another season there...maybe the fall.......

A little bit of heaven found in Greenwood!

Review Submitted: March 29, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
Dear Karen & Rob
We have been renters of your beautful home in the summer months for quite a while and have thoroughly enjoyed and love your home! Your home has brought such wonderful peaceful memories for us. The quietness of the lake and the irresistible sound of the loons! We finally had the great opportunity to visit in the winter and needless to say it was so beautiful. We have been Sugarloafers for many years but now my family has become Sunday River and Mt Abram skiiers!!! It is such a great feeling when we get to Greenwood knowing that we are going to such a wonderful, warm and inviting home. When we open the door my family all say "its nice to be home again!" Many thanks for letting us enjoy your wonderful home! We look forward to coming back very soon!

Sept 2008 vacation

Fool's Festival Ashland, Ma
Review Submitted: September 20, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
We found this cottage just perfect. Views of the lake from every window. I fell in love with the outdoor fireplace on the screened in porch. It was nice to sit outside on the cool evenings in front of the fire and listen to the loons sing. My husband loved the old style gas stove, very sturdy:-) It also had many antiques, lots of room, and a great feel to the whole cottage. Our dogs enjoyed hiking down the road at Maggie's Nature Path. We enjoyed the town of Bethel, the pottery place was excellant, Sud's pub good beer, people very nice. I would love to come back to this special place in Maine. Thank you very much Karen for sharing it with us. Wendy, John, Mel, and Micah

Perfect vacation!

Review Submitted: September 3, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
This home and location provided the most
perfect setting for one of the most wonderful and relaxing vacations
that I have ever had in my life! My kids loved their Maine lake
experience and my husband and I could not have asked for a better week together. There is nothing like a day spent on the lake followed by an evening sitting by the fire on the screened porch with a glass of wine and conversation (and NO TV!)
