You can walk right down to the water on our property or easily access it at the city owned abbuting property that is a gently sloping lawn. Up rte 2, there are numerous places to rent canoes, rafts, kayaks, etc.. If your a rock hound, the Maine Mineral Museum in Bethel is a must. You can also dig for gems at Bethel Outdoor Adventure or go gold panning in Coo's Canyon.

Fall - Enjoy the best foliage in the state. Take a trail ride at Deepwood Farm. Enjoy some apple picking. Take a local Moose watching tour. If you're here in Oct scoot over to the famous Fryeburg Fair.

We are 1:15 minutes from Portland and North Conway NH. We are minutes away from Mahoosuc Mountains and Grafton Notch State Park.

Great for a friend stay

Old farmhouse, so if ladybugs aren’t your thing and you expect a modern interior- skip it. But if you know Rumford, love history and look for the cute quirks in a house- this is your place. It has so much character and the most spacious place I’ve ever stayed.
