I appeared unannounced at the door one recent evening and was welcomed without hesitation by a most charming Brit who turned out to be Lawrence, the proprietor. I was shown to a very pleasant and comfortable room, and, while lighting for shaving could have been a bit brighter, I enjoyed a most restful night's sleep. Breakfast the next morning couldn't...

We have enjoyed Austin's Holidae House numerous times over the years for obvious reasons. It is the best place to stay when going to Sunday River. The rooms are wonderful and you cannot beat Laurence's breakfast. Hospitality is second to none. The town of Bethel is a wonderful alternative to staying at one of the slopeside hotels when skiing Sunday... More

My boyfriend and I came to Austin's Holidae House through their 'carpe diem' special, and it was wonderful to stay for the weekend. Lawrence was a kind and generous host- with a dry sense of humor as well as a delicious breakfast- and he offered great recommendations for local restaurants in Bethel. The rooms were very nice- Room 1 is... More

I was a bit off-schedule during a New England road trip, and rolled into Bethel after dark with no reservation - my guidebook listed Austin's Holidae House as a good option, and I'm very happy to have had the unexpected pleasure of staying here! Rates are very reasonable for such a lovely place, and the "carpe diem" special made it... More

Austin's Holidae house was a wonderful, warm, comfortable place to stay 1/9-1/14/12. Very clean, cozy.

The supermarket, bank, restaurants, a place to get a great massage at Lawrence's recommendation (which... More

Many people will say "Why not stay right on the mountain?" Well, sometimes the mountain is best to be left alone until you return to do what you do there, SKI. Comfort and hospitality are what makes a Holidae and that's what you will get from Marcia & Laurence's establishment. A short dive to the mountain, many memorable restaurants a... More

I stayed here 1 January night and found my room both spacious and cozy. our host was so gracious and breakfast was terrific with eggs from a nearby coop. I'll certainly return! More

This is one of the best B&Bs we have stayed in - all the right touches from a lovely breakfast with local eggs and delicious french toast, to afternoon cookies and tea, and a quiet room to read/work on computer. To accomodate local ski races, the host, Lawrence, got up early to prepare breakfast (and was willing to wait up... More

I stayed in this bed & breakfast for two nights in mid-December, 2011, to go skiing at Sunday River. I got one good day of skiing in, and the next day was a little too wet for me. But the stay at the bed & breakfast made the trip very worthwhile. I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Marcia while... More
