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.

Thanksgiving get away.
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.

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!

Great for big groups
We were very pleased with the accommodations and amenities available to us. Our four families, with 10 kids ranging from infant to teen, had enough space and activities to keep everyone entertained. Our host was very responsive and the s’mores gift was a great hit with the kids.

Wonderful house!
We stayed here with 15 people and skied at Sunday river. The house is gorgeous, well equipped with great amenities, and well located close to the ski mountain. The host is very responsive and helped us through a question we had with grace. Overall, we had a great stay.

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.

Amazing weekend getaway!
We had such a wonderful experience renting this house. The location was perfect, it was secluded yet still so close to Sunday River. The house accommodated our whole group perfectly and was super clean. We enjoyed playing pool and using the hot tub after a long day of skiing. We all had such a great time and all agreed next year we’ll have to stay longer!

We had a wonderful time with our family here! There was plenty of room! We especially enjoyed all of the games provided for rainy days. The kids also LOVED the pool. Would recommend to anyone looking for a large family gathering or a relaxing friends getaway. There is lots to do - hiking, bowling, ice cream and mini golf (to name a few) within a 15 min drive.
