About this house rental
River Valley Sunset Retreat is the ideal retreat for families and working professionals alike. For families, our 8.75-acre property offers room for kids to explore and make memories, from s'mores around the fire pit to fishing on our private stretch of the Androscoggin River. For professionals, it provides a peaceful, productive escape with reliable high-speed WiFi, dedicated spaces for relaxation, and a serene environment to recharge, all just moments from Western Maine's premier attractions.
A Four-Season Mountain Escape
Nestled near Bethel and Newry, this spacious rental is your gateway to adventure. In winter, you're approximately 20 minutes from world-class skiing at Sunday River. Summer invites hiking in the White Mountain National Forest, paddling the Androscoggin, or exploring the Maine Mineral & Gem Museum. With direct river access and stunning sunset views from the property, every day offers a new experience.
Comforts of Home, In Nature
The open-concept living area is designed for gathering, featuring a 65" Smart TV and comfortable seating. The well-equipped kitchen makes meal prep easy, and three peaceful bedrooms ensure restful nights. The master suite offers a king bed and a private sitting area for extra relaxation.
Step outside to your private oasis. The expansive deck is perfect for dining with a view, while the fire pit below sets the scene for evening stories and stargazing.
Key Details for Your Stay
Maximum Occupancy: To maintain a tranquil environment, we accommodate a maximum of 6 guests and do not permit parties at any given time, as our sensitive septic system cannot handle larger gatherings.
Extended Options: A fifth-wheel or camper can be accommodated in the driveway during Spring, Summer, and Fall (additional fee applies, prior arrangement required).
We look forward to hosting your perfect Maine getaway.

We visit Maine every summer for my husband's annual family reunion. We have stayed in several vacation homes within an hour from Joao's house but this is our favorite. Not only is the house spacious, clean and comfortable, but it's located on beautiful property with gorgeous views. It is located in a quiet town but there is a Walmart, Dunkin Donuts and other restaurants within a few minute's drive. The kitchen is stocked with spices and has all of the cooking appliances you'll need, including a k-cup coffee maker, slow cooker, and even a waffle maker and hand mixer. There are plenty of paper towels, toilet paper, cleaning supplies and laundry detergent, along with extra blankets and pillows. The rooms are spacious, airy and temperature controlled, and landscaping is maintained well (which is very important in Maine as we have experienced ticks in other homes). Our 3 and 9-year old kids enjoyed exploring the library of books and games, as well as the beautiful path down to the river lined with wildflowers. Joao is very responsive to messages, and is great with communications. I truly can't say enough about this property and highly recommend it to those who want to stay in the area. This was our second 2-week stay and we can't wait to rebook future stays. Thank you Joao for opening your wonderful home to our family!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this immaculate property. Everything was very clean and easily accessible. The area around the house was absolutely gorgeous, with beautiful views of meadows and the river. The house was more then enough for the five of us to stay. My kids loved the loft area off the living room. Would definitely look forward to staying here again.

We were very happy with the rental. Joao had nice extra amenities (like Keurig coffee pods and machine) which made the stay quite easy and comfortable.
