About this property
The ultimate basecamp for hiking, skiing, biking, fishing and more!
Evans Notch Lodge is a modest, rustic, 1930's-era group vacation property that is perfect for gathering your friends and family (or framily!) for outdoor fun in a peaceful corner of the White Mountains. Formerly a roadside cabin/motor court, the Lodge is now a full-property group vacation rental steps away from the Wild & Androscoggin Rivers, just 10 miles from both Bethel, Maine and Gorham, NH.
Epic fly-fishing, hiking, biking, paddling, campfires and swimming holes galore will keep you busy in the warmer months, but the winter is just as much fun - Evans Notch Lodge is conveniently located just minutes from downhill resort skiing (Sunday River, Wildcat, Mt. Abram), backcountry glade skiing, groomed nordic and fat bike trail systems, and thousands of wooded acres for snowshoe exploration.
When the weather (or the company) dictates indoor pursuits, Bethel has fantastic restaurants and cafes, food trucks, quaint shops, a movie theater, a bowling alley, the Steam Mill Brewery and the Maine Mineral Museum, just for starters. Gorham (NH) is another great stop for standout restaurants, ATV rentals, Big Day Brewing, and the AMC Pinkham Notch Visitor Center.
The unique layout of Evans Notch Lodge allows your group to spread out and enjoy as much privacy or togetherness as you want. Property rental includes five sleeping rooms with en suite bathrooms in the 'long house' year-round, and in warmer weather (June-mid-October) we add on two sleeping cabins with en suite bathrooms, all with their own separate entrances. The main Lodge building houses the fully-appointed kitchen and a large 'great room' with a dining area, cozy wood stove, and plenty of comfy spots to hang out.
In nice weather, after a quick dip in the river across the street, you can enjoy happy hour in the screened gazebo, or explore our seven wooded acres out back. During ski season, when you're done ripping runs at Sunday River, Wildcat, Mt. Abram or the nearby backcountry glades, you can meet up with your xc/snowshoeing pals and enjoy a warm fire together in the main Lodge. Games, puzzles, books, maps and area information are provided to help you get the most out of your trip - whether that's the most trail miles or the most relaxation!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This is a fantastic place. It is exactly as advertised, and the common spaces were even bigger than expected. It was perfect for our five families to gather comfortably, cook meals together and explore this amazing region of the White Mountains. Our host, Jen, was really responsive and accommodating. We’ll be back!
