As a local family from Maine, we love indulging in various outdoor activities. It gives us immense pleasure to open our new ski chalet to you and extend a warm welcome as our guests! We live and work in Maine and are happy to provide local recommendations to meet your needs. We are family-owned and operated and take pride in personally meeting our guests' needs.
Why they chose this property
We are excited to share with you our stunning new home nestled in a picturesque location, offering convenient access to a variety of outdoor recreational activities. You'll be able to easily explore popular destinations such as Sunday River, Bethel Village, and Mt Abram! We love this location. It is just 3 miles from the lifts at Jordan or South Ridge, or links. Swimming at Frenchman's Hole is 1 mile away with fresh waterfalls! The home is uniquely located on 3 private acres overlooking a pond for relaxing mornings and evenings on the deck or cozy nights by the fire. We provide you with the rare opportunity to stay in a private home close to the mountain with peaceful views for memories at home. We love it and hope you do too!
What makes this property unique
This stunning house boasts beautiful views from its floor-to-ceiling windows and features a large wrap-around deck. Listen to the frogs from the peaceful pond at the front of the property that enhances privacy, making it the perfect spot to relax by the warm fire while your kids enjoy catching frogs or making s'mores. With amenities such as a hot tub, custom sauna, and fire pit, this home has it all. Moreover, it's just a short drive from thrilling outdoor activities like skiing, hiking, swimming, kayaking, and excellent local restaurants. We take hosting seriously and have had an independent safety certification.
