Modernist post + beam home in Bethel Maine

Absolutely one of the best I have stayed in!

Would wholeheartedly recommend a stay here.

Take It Easy when you stay at our 70s modernist retreat!  This gem was originally conceived as a MIL apartment, attached to a fab 1978 post + beam designed by New England architect Stephen Blatt.  It’s been lovingly restored for its second act, with care taken to keep the 70s groove going without compromising on comfort.

Heated floors in the bathroom, bedroom and living room mean you can shake off the Maine chill while recharging your batteries.

A luxury walk-in shower stocked with Malin + Goetz products helps you wash off the day’s adventures.

Lounge on the couch or in the bed to watch movies; sit on the deck or at the bar with your favorite drink…whatever makes you feel relaxed, man.

Built in 1978, and updated with plenty of modern amenities like high speed wi-fi, 4K TVs, and more.

SNUG comfortably sleeps a couple, or a family with young-ish kids. If your older kids can stand sleeping within 10 feet of each other and hearing each other breathe, there are 2 pullouts in the spacious living room. If you have a really little one, let us know and we can be sure you have a crib and highchair during your stay.

A charming place that’s a little
rock n’ roll, a little camp and
very comfy.

  • Bedroom: 1 king bed with hotel mattress.
    Living Room: one queen pullout (couch) + one twin pullout (chair)*

    Down duvets for each, and a variety of pillows to choose from.

    Pack n’ Play

    *This place will not really comfortably sleep 4 adults. It's set up for a couple, or a family with young kids or a family with a teen.

  • Just about every manner of coffee-making available: Keurig, pour-over, French press, and regular drip. We also provide a variety of capsules, whole beans, sugar + such.

  • The kitchen should have just about everything you need to cook for yourself. The vintage 1970s stove and oven were in near mint condition and we couldn’t bear to trash them. Other than that, we’ve got pots, pans, baking supplies, a microwave, blender, toaster, etc. Sara is an avid cook and baker, and walked through our home kitchen taking notes on what was needed. We’ve also provided some great cookbooks full of simple, easy, and delicious recipes. If you don’t feel like cooking, there are great options in town…just a couple of minutes by car.

  • Hi-speed wifi via Spectrum for streaming | new Samsung smart TVs (living room and bedroom) equipped with a variety of streaming platforms | collection of games | bluetooth speaker | record player + some LPs that were thrift finds

  • Small desk/work area in the bedroom | ample room to also spread out in common areas | high speed internet/wifi.

  • New walk-in shower with Malin + Goetz bath products | Public Goods hand soap (it smells so good!) | dishwasher | washer/dryer in a dedicated laundry area | misc. Public Goods cleaning products + tools provided to deal with accidents + kid tornadoes | dog blankets and paw towels

  • We have heated floors in the bedroom, bathroom and living room, in addition to a monitor heater and baseboards.

    We do not currently have an AC…highs in the summer are typically in the 70s and lows in the 50s. We have sometimes turned the heat on in mid-July! We have never been uncomfortably hot in the summer without AC.

  • Olla House is a dog-friendly place. We provide a bed, a dog blanket, bowls, paw-wiping towels, poop bags, an extra leash, and a kennel. More on dogs right here.

  • Boot dryers, beach towels, beach chairs, picnicking ware, ski racks, plenty of gear storage + a place to sit down and take off your muddy/snowy/pine needly shoes.

  • Once weather allows, we’ll be adding a hot tub and fire pit to the property.
