Old River House Rumford Point. 14 mins to Sunday River | House in Rumford
5 Bedroom House in Rumford Point, Rumford
PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING:
The 1866 River House is a historic New England farmhouse that retains many of its original features and character. This is not a newly built vacation rental or hotel-style property.
While the home is professionally cleaned before every stay, older homes naturally collect dust more quickly than modern construction, especially when windows are opened or during high pollen seasons. Guests should also expect the occasional historic-home quirk such as original doors, uneven floors, or painted-shut windows.
If you appreciate authentic charm, history, and unique properties, you'll likely love the River House. If you are seeking a brand-new luxury home with modern finishes throughout, this property may not be the best fit.
Enjoy your stay at the historic 1866 River House, a unique riverfront farmhouse filled with authentic New England character, stunning views, and modern comforts. With 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and room for up to 16 guests, it's the perfect gathering place for families, ski groups, and friends looking to make lasting memories.
Located near Sunday River, Mt. Abram, and Black Mountain, with direct access to the Androscoggin River, the property offers breathtaking views of the river, spectacular sunsets, and Mt. Washington in the distance. Amenities include a covered hot tub, home theater, library, game room with ping pong and over 50 board games, and a spacious, fully equipped kitchen.

• Multi-generational family gatherings including weddings
