'The Hive' Luxury Mountain Log Home: Is a Spectacular Window Studded & Spacious New Log Home offering Hikers prime access to Pleasant Mountain’s 10 Mile Network of Hiking Trails, Shawnee Peaks 40+ Ski Trails, and easy Boating Access to Moose Pond’s 17 Miles of Shoreline. Our 3,000 sq ft Modern Log Home hosts 5 Spacious Bedrooms, Loft, Gourmet Kitchen & Dining Room, Sleeps 18 Comfortably, and Dines 14....Perfect for Large Family Reunions. You will Love our Great Room's 20+ ft Cathedral Pine Ceiling, Australian Cypress Hard Wood Floors, & Grand Field Stone Fire Place. 75 feet of wrap around Covered Porch/Deck provides Great Mountain Views all within 300 yards of Moose Pond, where you will hear 'The Cry' of The Loons' nightly along with a Barred Owl or two. There is plenty of Space for all with our extensive Kids Playroom & Wi-Fi providing a First Class Log Home Experience for 1, 2, 3, 4, or even 5 Families. Recently our Log Home was highlighted on TV station WPXT on their 'Buy Local' Show & is displayed on The Maine Cedar Log Home Web Site.....so take a look (lower right corner).

The Trailside Way Village Cul De Sac, East Side Shawnee Peak / Moose Pond: 'The Hive', completed in 2008, is one of 12 Log / Log Style Homes located on this quaint Mountain Cul De Sac at the base of Shawnee Peak and Moose Pond. Trailside Way is off the beaten path which provides the privacy and serenity to 'GET AWAY FROM IT ALL'....while still providing direct access to Shawnee Peak’s Summit and Pleasant Mountain’s 10 mile Hiking Trail Network. When the sun goes down, you and your 12 neighbors (which are never all occupied at the same time know matter what season) are the only ones on the East Side of the Mountain. During the Spring, Fall, & Summer months, it is not uncommon to be the only family/group up on the mountain, giving it the feel of being out in the wilderness, but still so close to all the great enjoyments the The Western Maine Lakes Region / Bridgton / Naples / Sebago & the North Conway, NH area has to offer.

'The Hive” Mountain Log Home Tour....Offering Trailside Simplicity: Park your car in our 100 ft Driveway where there is extra Space to park 3-4 cars along with limitless parking available at the base of the driveway on Trailside Way as the road receives next to zero car traffic. Step out of your car & within a few convenient steps is our Walk-In, First Level, Main Entrance making unloading your car a cinch, while our Grand Log Bench invites you to take a load off your feet. Mohawk Trail is 20 feet from our Front Door. 'The Hive” Welcomes you into a Large, Antique Winter Sports Themed, Pine Studded Mud/Ski Room with two big Closets and plenty of hangers for all your sweatshirts & coats. The Kids Large Playroom, with new 42’ Flat Screen TV, huge Sectional, and Board Games/Puzzles, allows the kids to have their own space, all while overlooking Mohawk Trail. Two bedrooms each with a Large Bright Window and Bunk Beds Sleeps up to 10 people, while down the hall is a Full Bathroom, Separate Laundry Room, and Utility Room providing all the Conveniences of Home.

The Log Home Tour (Cont) Main Floor & 3rd Level/Loft: Turn left at the top of the stairs brings you into 1 of 2 Bedrooms with a King Bed & Full Double Bed (room has all antique furniture/decorations) respectively with Large Closets, Ceiling Fans, Lighting to read in Bed, and 1 Full Bathroom (Granite Counter) accented by Large Windows and plenty of Sun Light. Turn right into our Gourmet Kitchen (Fully Stocked), with Stainless Steel Appliances, plush Granite Countertops, Double Sink, Dish Washer, Warming Oven, and Breakfast Bar (seats 4) with Rustic Oak Beams. The Grand Room awaits you with a First Class Dining Room, which seats 10, Large Living Room with 20+ foot Cathedral Pine Studded Ceilings, Australian Cypress Hard Wood Floors, 42”Flat Screen TV, Surround Sound, Grand Field Stone Fireplace, and a very popular Chess Set. Take your pick of one of four separate French Slidding Doors which sweeps you outside onto your 75 ft of Wrap-Around Covered Porch/Deck overlooking Mohawk Trail, beautiful Hio Ridge, and the Sunnyside Triple Chairlift Loading Station. Our gorgeous Wooden Staircase brings you to the quaint Loft/Den area where you can escape into a good book, surf the web at the Office Desk (large monitor available), do the 'Moose Pond' Puzzle, or sip wine at your Log Cocktail Table overlooking The Sunnyside Chairlift. Our new Leather Couch also easily folds down into a nice sized Double Full Bed. The Huge Master Bedroom with King Log Bed and Master Bath (Full sized) is to the rear of the Loft area and has great views of the Shawnee Peak Summit and incredible Sun Rises over Moose Pond / Hio Ridge right from your King Sized Log Bed.

Andrea & I have enjoyed hosting some 40+ Families/Groups since Nov 2011 and put tremendous pride into decorating “The Hive” to the season, with a Quaint, Traditional, Old/Antique, Classic, Country New England Style. This attention to detail and personal touch, has helped create a very special character, a unique charm, and a warm homey feel to “The Hive” that is hard to describe, and hard for many to remember a time away they felt this same way.

Andrea, our kids, & I have only just begun to realize how truly unique and how very special this property is. While providing our guests with an opportunity to experience what may not be able to be duplicated very possibly throughout the entire state of Maine or even all of New England. The one thing we are positively certain of though, is no matter what season you come, and no matter what the occasion may be for, you and your family/group will have nothing but a First Class & Remarkable Log Home Experience at “The Hive” Luxury Mountain Log Home at Shawnee Peak / Moose Pond.

                        Hi Eric, Thank you for all your help with making our Long Ski Weekend a Huge Success! We had such a Wonderful Time at your Beautiful Home at Shawnee Peak! The Weather was great for Spring Skiing and we all had plenty of space for our Large Group of 7 Adults and 9 Children. The overwhelming consensus was that your home was "The Perfect Fit" for us. The kids Sledded, some adults tried Snow Shoeing and we really felt at home. Our only complaint was that the weekend went by too quickly! You and Andrea have been very gracious and quick to respond to our many questons and your special tips on Ski Discounts were great too! Thanks again, and we hope to plan future Ski Weekends at your home with our gang!

                        The Weather was Excellent in the 20's as we Skied All Over The Mountain. Shawnee is a Great Family Mountain as getting around is Easy....Slopeside is "The Way To Go." Love this House & the Accomodations. Went Sledding at 4 pm every day and cooked every night/day Here! Why Leave? This is our 2nd time staying here at The "Ski Hive" & We Will be Back!

                        We had Outstanding Weather for Skiing. By far our Favorite Adventure was Watching all the Kids become Real Skiers.....Speed was the word! Sledding came in at #2 as The Most Fun with the Jigsaw Puzzle coming in 3rd place. We also ate too much and too often to go out. This House is a HOME for 4 days & We all feel Lucky to be able to Enjoy It! See You Next Year!

                        Most of us skied on Thursday. You have a great location here and it was perfect for our Retreat. Love the thought that you put into making this a warm & cozy home. Great amenities and preparations went into your home. Thanks for everything Eric!

                        Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with my family for the holidays. It was one of the best Christmases we have ever had. Everyone in my family couldn't stop raving about how beautiful your home was and all of the nice personal touches you have added to it (we loved the Christmas decorations and the towel heaters!). The highlight was going sledding down Mohawk Trail right outside your home. So much fun! We were so grateful to have such a spacious place to all congregate for the holidays & relax. I also appreciate your great communication as you made the rental process very smooth and painless. Thanks again for everything and I hope my family can go back again come summer time.

                        Our six families loved your Trailside location as Tobogganing down Mohawk Trail (Day & Night) was fast and furious. Loved watching the fire in your grande fireplace as a group, while relaxing and watching The Patriots and Celtics win their big games. We all collaborated and coordinated every meal.....A big undertaking and veritable feast of foods. You have a fabulous place to gather a large group comfortably. Great ambience inside and out. Your song birds were a delight. Thank you for decorating for Christmas for us! Very thoughful and will definitely recommend to others.

                        We lucked out with some great sunny but cold weather and thoroughly enjoyed hiking the trails right outside your home with the great views of Moose Pond and surrounding lacks and mountains. You have a beautiful home, very relaxing and accomodating while our favorite restaurant 25 minutes down the road in North Conway was Black Cap Trail. We would love to come back and ski in the winter and kayak in the summer!

                        We had beautiful weather, sunny around 50, for our shopping excursion to Downtown Bridgton and North Conway, where we had a great dinner at Tuckerman's Tavern, Thoroughly enjoyed your fireplace and love all your country decorations throughout "The Hive". We look forward to our annual trip next November! Thanks for sharing your home.

                      Owner info

                      Year Purchased: 2011

                      About the owner: My wife and I have been in the Pharmaceutical and Biotech Industries for 15+ years in various Accounting, Finance, Managed Markets Analyst and Sales Territory, Hospital, Specialty, and Account Management positions respectively. We both enjoy watching our 3 kids multitude of sporting events including hockey, basketball, soccer, lacrosse, baseball, cross country as well as coaching basketball and soccer. Other hobbies we enjoy are gardening, walking, hiking, fishing, sking, wildlife photography, shopping, family activities & running, We set the goal of owning a Log Home some 20 years ago.

                      Why the Owner Chose Bridgton:
                      Trailside Way is a phenomenal Private and Quaint Log Home Style Cul De Sac Village that is Quiet giving it the feel of being way out in the wilderness but still so close to all the Great Enjoyments the Western Lakes Region / Bridgton / Sebago & the North Conway, NH area has to offer. Owning our phenomenal Log Home while being Trailside at Shawnee Peak not only provides an incredible Winter Experience but is also a First Class Summer, Warm Weather Vacation Destination with Moose Pond's 15 miles of Shoreline 300 yards away with vast Fishing and Wildlife opportunities as well as Shawnee's 10 mile Hiking Network out your front door. We have spent dozens of Family Vacations over the years in the White Mountains which is a short 25 minute drive thus truly providing the best of both worlds with an unmatched Outdoors Experience anywhere in New England. The Shawnee Peak / Moose Pond, Bridgton, Western Lakes Region is simply an Outdoorsman's Dream!

                      The Unique Benefits at this Lodge:
                      The Sites, Sounds, and even Smells from 'The Hive' Luxury Mountain Log Home are quite remarkable. Waking up to the phenomenal golden orange blazing sunrises over Hio Ridge with the sun glistening off Moose Pond through the trees helps set the tone for the day. The aroma of the still new Cedar Logs & Pine Trees along with the homes 35+ Windows makes you feel like you are one with the outdoors in and amongst the woods, ski trails, and weather of the moment. The whailing cries of the Loons on nearby Grande Moose Pond and hoots of Barred Owls in concert during the warm weather nights provides music to our ears while the Hummingbirds and Chipmunks scurry about all day providing entertainment for the soul. And there is nothing like being curled up with a good book, hot coffee in hand, in front of our Grande Field Stone Fireplace on a cold wintery day with a Roaring Hot Fire watching the Skiers & Boarders dart past our Covered Porch French Doors while at the same time out front other skiers are getting wisked off their feet for the ride to Shawnee Peak's Summit almost a mile away as if going to Skier Heaven. Simply said, The 'Ski Hive' Luxury Mountain Log Home is a True Escape from life as we and most know it and A Very Very Special Place you will never regret visiting. Slopeside Simplicity at its Very Best!
