Cozy Cabin for Two · Hot Tub · Fire Pit

Rivah — A Cozy Fall Retreat in Western Maine



There’s something special about fall in Maine—the crisp mornings, changing leaves, quiet trails, and evenings that make you want to stay outside just a little longer.



Welcome to Rivah, a cozy studio cabin tucked among the trees in Bethel and designed for couples who want to slow down, reconnect, and unwind and enjoy western Maine at one of its most beautiful times of year.



Start your morning with coffee surrounded by fall color. Spend the day hiking through Grafton Notch, exploring Bethel, taking a scenic drive, or adventuring at Sunday River and Mt. Abram. Then come home, light the fire, and sink into your private hot tub beneath the stars.



Bring your dog, your favorite sweater, and someone you love. We'll provide the cozy, peaceful place to relax and recharge.

Traveling With Friends?



Traveling with another couple or family? Our sister cabin, Uptah, is just steps away.



Uptah and Rivah are identical in size, layout and amenities, but each has its own personality and décor. Both have their own private hot tub, fire pit, deck, bathroom and living space.



Book both cabins together for up to six guests and enjoy the best of both worlds: time together and your own peaceful space to recharge.



Guest Access



You'll have private access to the entire cabin, deck, hot tub, and outdoor living area. The bathroom utility closet remains locked.



Good to Know Before You Book



• Primary guest must be 25 years or older and staying onsite for the duration of the reservation.



• A rental agreement, photo ID, and a $200 security hold are required after booking. The security hold is authorized two days before arrival and automatically released seven days after departure if no damage is reported. Please note we are on the exception list as we are API Connected to a hotel-style software called OwnerRez to safely and securely take off-platform security deposits.



•Our sister cabin, Uptah, is just steps away on the same wooded property. Trees and a privacy divider help define each cabin’s private outdoor space, but this is not an isolated cabin with no neighbors in sight. We like to be transparent so you know exactly what to expect when you arrive—and can settle in, relax, and enjoy your stay.



•Our cabin is on a private well, and water is a precious resource in the mountains. We kindly ask guests to help conserve water by turning off taps when not in use and keeping showers to a reasonable length. While the water is safe to drink, some guests prefer to bring bottled water or fill reusable bottles at a local natural spring just 5 minutes away.



• The kitchenette includes a compact mini-fridge (no freezer). If you're bringing extra groceries or frozen items, we recommend packing a cooler with ice for additional storage.



• A starter coffee and tea station is provided to help you ease into your Maine mornings.



• Outdoor amenities are available seasonally (May–October), including the picnic table, bistro table, gas grill, and yard games.



• Cell service is generally strong. Wi-Fi is the best available for our rural location and works well for streaming and browsing, though it may not be ideal for frequent video calls.



• The driveway is steep and gravel. All-wheel drive or four-wheel drive is recommended year-round, especially during winter weather. The driveway is professionally plowed and sanded after each snowfall.



• To help everyone enjoy a peaceful stay, we do not allow parties, smoking or vaping inside the cabin, or unregistered guests.



• Dogs are welcome! We allow up to 2 dogs (2 years or older is preferred). A $50 pet fee per dog applies. We simply ask that dogs are house-trained, supervised, and respectful of the property so future guests—and their pups—can enjoy it too.
