Thank you for looking at our charming vintage home located in the heart of Fryeburg, Maine, but so close to North Conway, NH. It's the perfect location to explore the western region of Maine and its lakes, the Mt. Washington Valley, the White Mountain National Forest, and the surrounding New Hampshire area. Plus, you're only about 1 hour from Portland on Maine's coast.

Your own private park-like setting on 1.83 acres! Beautiful views of Weston's farm and the mountains.

Secluded, but only a short 5 minute walk to the center of Fryeburg where there are restaurants, coffee shop, and pubs, the Reading Room, and Fryeburg Academy. Walk across the street to Weston's Farm for fresh produce or continue walking across the bridge to Weston's beach on the Saco River.

During the winter, go snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, or snowshoeing in the winter and for down-hill skiing check out Pleasant Mountain (10 miles), Cranmore Skiing (11 miles), Attitash Skiing (20 miles), Black Mountain (21 miles) and Wildcat Mountain (30 miles).

During the summer, you can pick up live Maine lobsters each Saturday at 10am in the campground area across from the Fryeburg Fairgrounds. Visit Storyland or take a ride on the North Conway train as you spend time with your family.

In October, watch the farm hands gather pumpkins from the fields behind the house or wonder through the Corn Maze at Sherman's Farms mid-September through October. Make your reservation for early October for Fryeburg Fair, Maine's Blue Ribbon Classic since 1851, which is just minutes down the street.

Our 1939 home features hardwood floors and lots of craftsman details and character.

There's plenty of room for you and your kids to play and relax with a huge lawn, basement, games, books, Ping Pong, free Wi-Fi, and Roku TV in the living room.

The house sleeps 6 in four beds with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The Master suite on the main floor has a 32" HDTV with Blu-ray in the sitting room, a king bed, and a private bath. First upper bedroom features a queen bed and a crib. Second upper bedroom features two twin beds and a 32" Roku HDTV for the kids.
All bedrooms have A/C units (seasonal). There's a second full bath upstairs and an extra half bath on the main floor.

The three-season porch is a great place to relax, and we have a day bed in the breezeway with a great view of Weston's farm. The living room has a 43" UHD Roku TV & Blu-ray and a video and book library with cable TV & free Wi-Fi included.

Our town water is the same water used by Poland Springs bottling company so enjoy a glass.

The extra-large dining room is great for a large family and has gorgeous farmland views. The kitchen features a 30" glass top self-cleaning range, full size refrigerator, microwave oven, dishwasher, and coffee maker. There is also a four burner gas grill in the garage.

Play Ping Pong on the full-size table in the basement gaming area.

There is a huge screened-in gazebo on the lawn with power and lights, table and chairs. Oversized attached two car garage (great for getting your car, motorcycles, or snow mobiles out of the weather), plus built-in ski racks.

We have a full-size washer and dryer located in the basement for your convenience.

Inquire about rates for stays of 30 days or more.

We hope you enjoy your stay and return again and again!

What a find! Super clean, perfectly located for our need, so much room, comfy beds, great water pressure, and a lovely host! Very cool and eclectic and even better...a home with history! We all spent a great deal of time walking around the house checking out the pictures/photos and reading about the home and the area. The neighborhood is quiet, the grounds are beautiful and the view gorgeous! It was a very hot September weekend and the house was cool even without AC. Plenty of fans, towels, and literally, all the conveniences of home. 5star experience for sure!

Only issue was had to go through host to control heat. As a guest I feel the heat should be controlled by the person staying there. The house was beautiful and big, could’ve had another family stay with us. Very clean. Views were gorgeous! Close to town.

Great location for all
Property was as promised. Great location and charming decor. We loved that we were close to everything yet situated back off the busier street. Joe was very helpful and responsive to our questions. We highly recommend making this property a 'must-stay' when planning a shopping/hiking/snowmobiling/skiing vacation or anything else in the beautiful Maine/New Hampshire area.

Wonderful Winter Stay!
Our family had the pleasure of making this lovely property our “home away from home” for ski race season. Super clean with comfy beds, lots of room to spread out, and all the amenities you could want. Our boys loved the ping pong table, and we had many great dinners and card games around the beautiful dining table. Joe and Christine are super attentive and easy to communicate with! We will definitely be back!

We absolutely loved this house!
Our group consisted of four adults and my 8-year-old grandson and we all had a wonderful time! There is plenty of space for five people. The beds are comfortable and the three bedrooms are all great sizes, as are the dining room (gorgeous views out the windows) and living room. Having 2.5 bathrooms was very convenient and the three-season porch has plenty of room. Cleanliness is very important to me when renting a house and this house was spotless. The house is at the end of a dead-end, quiet road but is just a few minutes away from a convenience store and several restaurants- I recommend the 302 West Smokehouse & Tavern, the food was delicious (especially the corn bread)! It’s a short walk from the house to Weston’s Farm and Market, (my grandson loved the hay fort) and to Weston’s Beach. This beautiful and historic home has every amenity you could possibly imagine. There is even a ping pong table in the basement and my grandson had a lot of fun learning how to play. The views across the fields are lovely. We enjoyed the yard and the gazebo, which has electricity and is screened in- the perfect place for us to play games. The owners were communicative, friendly and welcoming and we would love to stay again sometime in the future. Thank you, Joe and Christine!

Amazing Property
We come up to the North Conway area every year with our children. Last year we tubed the Saco and ended up at Westons Beach and fell in love with the area. We decided to search Fryeburg for our following year vacation and I'm so happy we did. This house is perfect for a family with children. My kids loved all the toys, the ping pong table and all the movies and books that were available for them. This house is 10 minutes to North Conway and walking distance to the beach, farm stand and great food. We will definitely be back next year!

Wonderful for family looking for both fun and quietness
My family with 3 kids (aged 4-9) had a wonderful time in Joe and Christine lovely house. The owners are very responsive. Christine kindly left a number of notes, which made it much easier for us to find things. The house is clean, nicely decorated and provides everything we needed, including kid toys and many movies. We also enjoy playing pingpang in the basement. The ride to storyland is about 25 minutes. We did not take 302. Instead, we went to E. Conway road, which run through the mountains with a lot of ups and downs. My son was very excited. We hope to come back again and stay longer.

Delightful stay in Fryeburg, Maine
We just returned from a delightful week stay at this Maine home. The listing description was accurate. We had plenty of room (could have easily worked with the 7 maximum people as well) with plenty to spare for 4 adults. It would also be a great vacation home for a family with children. The entire house was exceptionally clean and it was very convenient to have linens and towels provided for our stay. There is a beautiful view of Maine farmland from the back of the home. We spent alot of time outdoors at lakes, mountains and the nearby North Conway village. The Saco River is a great river (right around the corner) for cooling off or floating around in a raft. We bought foods from both Westons and Sherman's (nearby farms). The home owners were easy and pleasant to deal with throughout the rental process. If you are looking for a good sized home centrally located to a variety of activities in Maine and New Hampshire, this house is for you!

Enjoyable stay in Fryeburg vintage home
We found everything we needed and more in this amazingly well-stocked and comfortable vintage home as we explored this part of ME and NH. Took advantage of the pleasant porch in spite of the high temperatures and lack of breeze the week we stayed. The two fans we found were also helpful with that, and the bedroom A/C was a blessing at night and when we needed to cool down for a bit after being out and about. Appreciated being able to park in the garage to keep our car out of the hot sun. Perfect home for simple pleasures, too, like watching the birds at the feeder and listening to their songs in the evenings while looking over the backyard and into the field. Had plenty of fresh fruit and veg from nearby Weston’s Farm store. We were lucky to see a nearby town’s 4th of July fireworks through the dining room window, too. Joe, thanks again for your restaurant recommendations, and the other suggestions you gave us - and for checking in to be sure all was well. Bay Haven Lobster was worth the short 30 min drive. Thanks again.

not clean
Arrived late at night and most of the lights entering the house were burnt out so we struggled to make our way in. I phoned the owner the next morning to complain about lights and a dirty fireplace that looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in months, he told me where to find the light bulbs and where to find the bucket to clean the fireplace. After speaking to him we noticed none of the sheets on the bed were clean so had to wash all the sheets from the 3 bedrooms. I phoned him a few days later asking him to refund the cleaning fee but he said I should have phoned him upon check in (at midnight?). We were there for a wedding and very busy with 3 days of events. Upon the rest of our guests arriving over the next 24 hours we discovered even more concerning cleanliness issues. Very disappointed, cannot recommend for cleanliness and the poor response from the owner.
