Bethel is a lovely little mountain village with some quirky shops.
With a heavy accent on the Yeti for some reason.
We stopped in a gallery….
Filled with local artists…
Moose…
And numerous paintings of vegetables.
Thanks, but I prefer them on my plate… not my walls.
Heading out of town we passed a gorgeous old Victorian.
And a stately old colonial.
A home like that would be my dream… that, and enough money to buy one of those grand old dames and update their interiors.
New houses have no charm.
We cruised along enjoying the scenery…
And the views.
Damn, could you imagine having that for your back yard?
Not too shabby.
A little farther down the road the husband spotted some new construction and turned in to check them out.
By the look of the views? I knew we couldn’t afford it.
The properties were a good size.
With special attention paid to make sure no home blocked another’s view.
So if I win the lottery?
Look for me living here in the autumn.
Number 15 looks just fine…
We have a version of this sign over our way, so it tickled me to see one in the mountains.
Yes, those really are all the names of Maine towns.
Day 6 done, we headed back to our resort for dinner at Camp.
I liked the upscale rustic theme…
Sitting under a lighted canoe…
And a yummy salt brined citrus roasted chicken dinner.
River's world..... 
Maine may be a frozen hell-hole populated by murderous woodsmen; but, they have some swell houses there…

“upscale rustic” – that’s a new one. Number 15 does look like a nice place. Let us know if you win.

Upscale rustic is definitely a trend up here. Elsewhere? Just an oxymoron.
And hell.. if I win? I’ll throw a party there and invite you all!

Are you sure you want #15, because like my daughter tells me , soon you won’t be able to do stairs either…….

Ha!
I’ll have you know I have quite a few more years of stair capability ahead of me.

Having always been a city dweller I cannot imagine the views! I marvel at people who have views from home. Really lovely place, I did not know Maine had so many country names like the sign. We have several, which occasionally throw our NH Receptionist off — she nearly laughed out loud at Kokomo.
