This house is truly amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay with a group of friends-the house,weather, Red Sox & Pats games, all the amenities were Fantastic!!The house and location has something for everyone...golf, skiing, hiking,kids playground,pool, theater room.
It was great to go away and have all the amenities of home and then some. We can't wait to go back!

Wonderful House!

Review Submitted: November 3, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
We recently stayed at the Glen House for a reunion of college friends. The house was magnificent! Beautiful, comfortable, every amenity you can think of. It was the perfect setting and very accommodating for a large group. It offered plenty of space and entertainment for all, beautifully decorated. The property was very clean and cared for and the owners were very helpful. I would certainly recommend this property to others and we will definitely be back for another gathering ourselves!

The Heights

The Heights Chestnut Hill, MA
Review Submitted: September 16, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We had a wonderful time at the Glen House. The view from the deck was amazing, first of all. It's location is even better: right next to Sunday River, right on the golf course, hiking etc. A ton of outdoorsy activities close by for any of the 4 seasons.

The owners were extremely accommodating to our stay. We were taken care of well.

The house itself is enormous and beautiful. The hot tub and steam room were our personal favorites, as well as watching the sun set on the deck and grilling by the pool.

I would absolutely recommend this place for any large group looking to get away and relax. The website does a great job of portraying the house, and it is even more impressive in person.

Perfect Wedding!

Liz and Gary Seattle, WA
Review Submitted: September 15, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We had our wedding in the back yard of the Glen House and it worked out perfectly. All of our immediate family stayed at the house with us, which was a great opportunity for our families to get to know each other. The view was magnificent during the ceremony. The movie theater and video games were a big hit with the kids and kept them occupied. Everyone had such a great time that we are hoping to come back in the future. I would highly recommend this home for a family reunion or a smaller wedding.

Glen House - Family Reunion

"Poppi" Spokane, WA. - Pacific Northwest, U.S.A.
Review Submitted: September 12, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We recently enjoyed a wonderful family reunion at the Glen House - arranged through "VRBO" on the web. . . .the property was everything that we had hoped it would be - and then some!

The home is extremely well-equipped and maintained; and the owners provided the "little things" that were needed or forgotten (Ex.: an electronic baby monitor) The location was a bit remote from town, but easily accessible to local activities. Directions and suggestions to find local points of interest and activities were plentiful and complete. The house was spotlessly maintained when we arrived and provided every amenity that was advertised - it was perfect for a large family reunion (we had 23 people staying in the house) - and yet provided some "quiet spaces". The pool, hot tubs (2) and home theatre provided great entertainment for the children, teen-agers, and adults - as well as a suitable "stage" for our family's skits. The owners were readily available to answer all our questions and provide information, but were never intrusive.

Local shopping in Bethel was easy - the "Good Foods" store on the main highway provided excellent service (try their ribs!) and fair prices.

The area activities we enjoyed included golf at two local courses, swimming in local swimming holes, excellent hiking (the Appalachian trail is only a few miles away) fly-fishing, and gorgeous views from the deck of the Glen House, which overlooks the first hole on the Sunday River Golf Club.

We would recommend this property "without reservation" to anyone planning a family reunion, wedding, ski trip - or other large group activity in the western Maine area - - you won't be disappointed!

Wonderful Mountain Vacation

Jeanne Marie Springfield, PA
Review Submitted: August 31, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Our family, a group of 24 of all different ages, had a wonderful week-long vacation at the Glenn House. The house was more beautiful in person than it was on line. We swam in the pool,soaked in the hot tubs, played golf, played pool, watched movies, played games, went horseback riding, hiked in the nearby park and made wonderful meals using the inside and outside kitchens. We all hated to leave!

AMAZING HOUSE

Relaxed in Maine New Jersey
Review Submitted: August 31, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
My friends and I rent a large house each year and we try to pick different locations each year, and this year we decided to do Maine and the Glen House. The photos on the website are true to what you get in the house itself. It's a large house, well kept, well supplied and has just about everything you would need in a home and more. The pool was fabulous and nicely heated. If there were any problems that occured in the house, you gave the owners a quick phone call and they were there the next day to address it. One of the best recommendations from the owner was doing a personal chef. We highly recommend Heather & Dave - we loved the food, the service and they were reasonably priced - very professional! The house is located near Grafton Notch State Park, where you can do some fun hiking and of course on the Golf Course, for those golf lovers. Only negative thing I would mention, is bring bug spray - lots of mosquitoes and gnats at night, but during the day it was fine. So in the evenings, just watch a great movie in the wonderful theatre room they have. A Great Place for Large Groups to vacation.

Wedding of a lifetime

Darren and Carla lynn, ma, 01904
Review Submitted: July 7, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
The Glen House exceded all of our expectations. Our dream wedding turned into a dream week with friends and family. The back yard overlooking the mountains was the most beatiful spot for a wedding. After the ceremony there are so many places for people to gather and socialize. It couldn't have been more perfect. The property itself is amazing. It was made to entertain. All of my guests have expressed interest in coming back for an anniversery/reunion party. I would recomend this house to anyone.

Fabulous Home

The trip planner Leesburg, Florida
Review Submitted: July 6, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
What a fabulous home and perfect for all ages! We had our family reunion of 20 and the house was perfect. Great setting on the golf course and wonderful activities around the area; kayaking, canoeing, hiking. And when it rained there was so much to do at the house; pool table, movie theatre, hot tub, fuse ball, that no one was ever bored. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic House

Deluge LAs Vegas, NV
Review Submitted: July 4, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We had 19 family members share this house for a week. Thank goodness we all get along because it poured rain for all seven days we were there so we weren't able to enjoy many outdoor activities. We did use the pool & outdoor hot tub since we were going to get wet anyway. We also made good use of the upstairs hot tub. Of course the movie theater & pop corn machine were a big hit. We also appreciated the large kitchen since we all pitch in to cook & clean up. We used the large counter for our meals because it allowed all the adults to sit together while the children ate on the porch.
