About this property

RETREAT TO A SECLUDED, SERENE MOUNTAIN LODGE

Discover Your Perfect Mountain Escape in Maine’s Mahoosuc Mountains

Set in the breathtaking Mahoosuc Mountains, this spacious lodge is a unique, all-season retreat for family gatherings, corporate escapes, or getaways with friends. Here, you’ll be immersed in nature without sacrificing the modern amenities you love. Once you’re stocked up on your favorite foods and drinks, there’s no need to leave—you’ve got everything you need right here!

Room to Unwind, Space to Play

With six bedrooms, this lodge comfortably sleeps large groups. Choose from two king suites, two queen rooms, a bunk room with four beds, and a cozy room with a double bed and a set of bunks. There’s also a queen futon in the media room for extra guests.

The gourmet kitchen, with its professional gas stove, large three-door fridge, and coffee/drink station, has everything for cooking up memorable meals (or, if you’re looking to indulge, hire a private chef!). A gas fireplace anchors the great room, offering the perfect ambiance for relaxation, while the open dining space makes gatherings easy and enjoyable.

Endless Entertainment Options

The lower level is a true entertainment hub. Enjoy a theater setup, pool table, poker table, and foosball—all with walk-out access to the outdoor hot tub and pool area. With 4.5 bathrooms, washer/dryer stations, and a spacious entry room for all your gear, every detail is designed with convenience in mind.

Outdoor Living at Its Best

Step outside to soak in the mountain views from the expansive deck, complete with a gas grill and dining area. Downstairs, a year-round hot tub, seasonal pool, fire pit, and a sprawling yard make for endless outdoor fun. We provide pool towels and wood for the fire pit.

Flexible Space for Larger Groups

If you need even more room, inquire about the additional two-bedroom and one-bedroom apartments available to rent above and below the garage for expanded accommodations.

Modern Amenities

Each king bedroom has its own TV, and you’ll find a brand-new 75” TV in the Great Room, as well as a TV in the entertainment room. High-speed fiber-optic WiFi ensures everyone stays connected.

Adventure Awaits Year-Round

In winter, enjoy snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling right from the front door. Sunday River Ski Area and Mt. Abrams are just a short drive away. For summer and fall adventures, explore nearby hiking trails, bike paths, kayaking, fly fishing, and more. Local dining, shopping, and recreation are all within a 10-mile radius, so you’re never far from whatever you need.

Awesome House for Large Groups of All Ages
The layout of the house is so great for entertaining large groups of people. We had 12 adults and one baby and there was so much space where we could eat, play games, and hang out. The kitchen was really well stocked from an appliance and cookware standpoint. Everyone slept so comfortably and there were enough bathrooms for that size of group. Definitely follow the hot water shower tips that are posted in the bathrooms as the hot water was spotty when you didn't. The hot tub was great to have post skiing. The house had a large mud room perfect for storing all gear.Communication with the host was great we will definitely look at renting this property again!

This is a great location and beautiful house. Plenty of room. Well appointed and comfortable rooms. Secluded spot yet close to town and Sunday River Ski Resort. Game room, hot tub and fire pit were perfect to keep everyone in our group occupied and relaxed. Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again in the future.

Lovely Mountain Home
We had a really nice time at Bethel. The house was lovely and spacious enough for our group of eleven. We had six adults and five kids and the bedroom layout worked well. The kids had a place to hangout downstairs while the adults played games at the enormous dining table. We experienced colder than normal temps in August but that didn’t stop the kids from using the beautiful pool. Bethel is a very cute town, we absolutely loved checking out all of the waterfalls and swimming holes in the area (albeit crazy cold water). We had a couple of very minor issues during our stay and Jess was very responsive and addressed them immediately. Would definitly recommend to families looking to get away and enjoy nature on their next holiday.

Family Vacation
My family and I stayed at the house for a week. We had 9 adults and 4 kids in our group and the house was spacious and accommodated everyone’s needs. We had beautiful weather so we took advantage of the great pool and hot tub in the evenings.The view of the mountains was pretty great too. The house is close to a shopping area and some great ice cream. Jess was a pleasure to work with and was very responsive during the planning process and while we were at the house. I would recommend staying here and hope to come back again in the future.

Great spot for a large group!
Our group had a great time at the property. A very nice location and plenty of space. We were a little unclear and thought there was going to be an additional bed but we had someone back out and it ended up not to matter. Oh and also, MASSIVE hot tub. Overall I would recommend to a friend.

Ski Trip
This place was perfect for our group. Not all of us ski or snowboard but we always had something to do as bethel is a cute town with local cafes. It was so close to Sunday River for those who spent the whole weekend there. More than enough space for 15 people with our gear. Perfect to spend nights in together as a group to keep us entertained. Jess was also very responsive to any needs that came up. Can’t wait to come back next year.

Spacious, Clean and Well-Kept Home! Awesome Owner!
We held a family reunion here and had plenty of space for 3+ families. The home is very spacious and offers a lot of entertainment options - game room, hot tub, pool, etc. More importantly, however, Jess is awesome to deal with - whether it was seeking recommendations for local activities or responding to a quick message about the property she was always very responsive, pleasant and helpful. We would definitely come back for another stay and highly recommend this property, especially for large groups! The massive dining room table was the center of group dinners and board games!!! Thank you!

This place was idyllic! Very beautiful home in a stunning location. The house had everything we needed for adults and kids alike. It was set up perfectly for groups to hang at the large dining room table or on the deck or by the fire pit. Nice drive to swimming holes and rivers and Sunday River fun. Jess was super responsive and gave great recommendations. He even pulled a fire permit without us asking! We also had some of the best food in downtown Bethel including Butcher Burger and Mountain Social Kitchen. All around a wonderful stay - we could not have asked for more.

We were multi generational family of 10. Home is large enough for all to have their own space, dining table was where the magic happened …huge table! We live all the activities in /out of house. Our own playground and the pool & hot tub were prefect . Someone even came during the wk to clean it and the hot tub. ! Family meals with huge stove & grill! . Went rafting and to the spa at Sunday River . Both recommended ! We did have rain but lots to do indoors Beds comfy , decor lovely , all pots pans dishes that we could possibly use ! Host was delightful to deal with ! You will enjoy this property and this area of Maine . Thank you so much for our memories 💜 oh in Bethel there is a Hannaford market and a Walgreen’s that sells liquor ! Dunkin too , movies too!
