Very unique, fun place to stay

The Brookside house was a very unique and fun place for us to stay, the record collection was a plus! It was easy to find and a great spot to get to Sunday River for skiers and walking trails for others. Lots of unique rooms and plenty of room for people to stay and hang out.

Abundance of room for our Sunday River trip

We had more than enough room for the 6 of us here. The young adults enjoyed the game room after a long day of skiing Convenient to Sunday River. I packed a case of water but did not need it thanks to the water cooler. Shut out to their amazing plow driver for not plowing me in while we were out in the other car

Fantastic House for a Large Family Ski Gathering

My family and I stayed here during MLK Jr. Weekend in January 2025. In total, 4 adults, 4 teenagers, and one child stayed the weekend. We even had 2 other family members stop by for dinner one night. Plenty of room for everyone. It is a quirky old house with abundant charm and character, which we all enjoyed. Did I mention it is about 1½ miles down the road from Mt Abram and about 20 minutes from Sunday River? We plan on staying there again.

Family stay

We had a great few days. The house is large, comfortable beds, clean, nice and close to Mt Abram and an easy quick drive to Sunday River for skiing. Enough place to relax and play games as well as all eat together as a family. The driveway was nice and big which made turning really easy so we didn’t have to back out. Thanks for sharing your place.

Old, charming house. As a house from 1850 it has some flaws, which the owner has compensated with impeccable service. I don't see what I could complain about.

A Delight!

We stayed at the property over the Presidents day weekend. The house is very large and everyone had plenty of space. We enjoyed listening to records, playing cards and cooking in the new kitchen. It’s only about 15 minutes to Sunday River. Our only regret was not staying longer! Note, that the house is rustic-if you are looking for the Marriott keep scrolling. This is a unique old home and it has some old home quirks but we loved it! Thanks for having us. See you again!

Unique gem

My husband, kids (10 and 15), in-laws and two pups LOVED our stay over the 4th of July weekend. As others have stated, the home is older, but it a quaint comfortable way. The main bathroom was recently remodeled and we had the benefit of being the first guests to use the updated kitchen! The game room was amazing! Kids went the whole long weekend off phones and video games...by choice! They are now convinced we need a bumper pool table! There was plenty of room for every one...and then some. The home is well stocked with everything you need to just kick back and relax. For dog owners, the beach down the road does not allow dogs, but there is a spot right across the street where you can hop in the water, launch boats, kayaks, and paddle boards. Would absolutely stay here again. Such a great experience!

Family vacation

Our family loved this home. The house is close to more than enough attractions in the area. Don’t miss the Local Hub less than a block away! We had a family with children between the ages of 10 down to 5 and no one was bored. The pool table, pinball and record player man cave were a hit. Host reached out when we first got there and although we had no problems, I felt he was quick to respond on check in and check out. Thanks for sharing your home because my family loved Maine!
