We stayed at the Bethel Village Motel in September as part of a road trip and found it to be the most pleasant, comfortable, quiet and reasonably priced location - in fact we stayed two nights which is very unusual for us! I have just read the 'disappointed' review below and really couldn't understand it. All in all, we can... More

Was expecting more given the previous reviews which were good . Owner greeted us with a smile and things went downhill from there. Furnishings gave me the creeps. Needs to be updated badly. Bathroom vanity had to be there from the 60's or 70's. Couldn't tell if the carpet was clean because it looked so very old and worn. A... More

Ruthie's is my favorite place to stay when skiing at Sunday River. It's right in the center of the village. The rooms are simple but clean, renovated and comfortable. And you can't beat the price or how friendly Ruthie herself is. I've been going for a few years, and I've noticed constant renovations and little refreshes that keep the place... More

I reserved two rooms for just one night because of a mix up with our Sunday River rental check in. I picked it mostly based on reviews on this site and we weren't disappointed. We loved it! Ruthie is super nice, I told her we would arrive a little late and she had the lights on and the heat on... More

I was in the Western Mountains and Lakes Region of Maine doing research for www.great-maine-vacations.com, and based on the positive reviews I read here, I stayed at Ruthie's Bethel Village Motel, and am VERY happy that I did. The motel was perfect for the type of trip I was on, and was spotlessly clean, quite comfortable, and I thought, well... More

If your focus is to ski, eat and sleep, this is a perfect place! Amazing value! Clean comfortable rooms. Grab a bagel at the bakery across the street (opens at 7AM), hit the slopes, grab dinner at one of many local restaurants, and crash! Perfect!!

My husband and five year old recently stayed at Ruthie's Bethel Village Motel for a skiing weekend. Sunday River is 10 minutes away. Ruthie was lovely to speak to upon making our reservation. The motel is right on Main St. nearby to many conveniences - bakery, grocery store (steps away), banks, church, etc. Upon arrival we were greeted by Ruthie... More

Ruthie took my reservation and was very pleasant on the phone. We stayed in 2 connecting rooms - one with a shower/bathroom, double bed, easy chair and refrigerator, and the other with a queen bed and twin with shower/bathroom. Terrific heat and hot water - most important after a long day at a Freestyle competition at Sunday River. Perfect in... More

We visit our daughter and granddaughters in Bethel every year, and rather than stay with them we stay with Ruthie. Her Bethel Spa Motel is quiet, centrally located, and immaculate. Ruthie is an accomplished gardener and interior designer; her talents and good taste show in every room and in her garden adjoining the motel. Ruthie always has a thermos of... More
