Next time you are in Bethel, Maine, you really must stay at Holidae House. Laurence is the quintessential Innkeeper with a great sense of humor and a wicked grin that makes you just want to hug him. His wife, Marcia, is a doll. The rooms are nicely appointed and comfortable. Breakfast was fabulous! We had to have the french toast... More

We really enjoyed our stay in this great b&b. We stayed with our 4 year son and he really felt at home. I think that if we had stayed some more nights he would call the Inn keeper, Laurence, Granpa. The rooms are comfortable, the living room is very nice and the best of all is the french toast of... More

After the long drive up the Maine Pike Corridor, often combating fatigue and weather, it is so heartwarming for the weary traveler to enter Ausitn's Holidae House in Bethel, Maine. The Inn Keeper, Laurence, is by far the most gracious and accomodating proprietor-gentleman I have ever been acquainted with, in all my years of visits to various Inns and Hotels... More

It was a great pleasure to find on my first trip to the picturesque town of Bethel, Maine the quaint Austin's Holiday House B&B. Housed in a lovely, historique house right on Main Street, the home is filled with Victorian bric a brac and thoughtful touches such as the Dove chocolates in the living room. The owners are an ex-pat... More

We really enjoyed our stay here when visiting Sunday River. The bed was very comfortable and Marcia and Laurence were wonderful hosts. The cookies were a nice surprise in the afternoon. The breakfast the next morning was my favorite part. Marcia's homemade apricot scones were tasty but the highlight was her homemade cinnamon bread which Laurence turned into the best... More

All of the positive reviews here are absolutely on target. Laurence is a most gracious host that goes above and beyond to make your experience as good as it could possible be. The rooms were nice, the bed was comfortable, the breakfast was superb, especially the orange zest, vanilla, french toast and the the super fresh, locally produced eggs (he... More

Our recent overnight stay was very pleasant. The inn exemplified what a good B& B should be. The room is well pointed and spacious for two adults. The bed was comfortable. Even though it is on the main street, we had a quiet night of sleep. Laurence is a terrific host, and the breakfast was EXCELLENT, esp. the 2-day old... More

My wife, 8 year old daughter and I were in Bethel recently on a ski trip, as so many are. We stayed at Austin’s Holidae House B&B for one night as we were booked to stay right at the ski resort, which was unfortunate for us! Upon arrival at this elegant Century old Bed and Breakfast we were greeted by... More

I chose Austin's Holidae House upon the recommendation of a friend. I was traveling alone, but meeting other parents to watch nordic ski races at the Bethel Inn. Lawrence was The.Most.Gracious.Host.Ever! When I arrived he asked if it was "just me" who needed a room; I sighed and answered "Yes, just me :(". He immediately turned my response around, smiled...

Although we love staying at the mountain for convenience, we love Austin's Holidae House for for its ambiance. The innkeepers, Laurence and Marcia, go out of their way to make their guests feel at home. The rooms are clean, cozy and attentively decorated with a Victorian motif. Breakfast is more than adequate and cooked to order. Upon our last stay,... More
