Located in the mountains of Western Maine in the Bethel/Bryant Pond area, your Maine Escape home or vacation is the perfect four season getaway.

Western Maine, with its hundreds of clear lakes and majestic mountains, has drawn vacationers for years. Located on the Androscoggin River surrounded by Maine's Appalachian Mountains, Bethel has been a retreat for summer people since the mid 1800's. The White Mountain National Forest comes within a few miles of the historic village, and trails radiate from nearby Evans Notch.
