Come share our unique and beautiful 1813 home in the one and only true Vacationland!!!!!!

Our Thaddeus Twitchell House is 5,241 square feet with 8 Bedrooms, 7 and 2 half baths and is within walking distance to Bethel Village.

Located in the historic town of Bethel, the Thaddeus Twitchell House is one of the area's most beautifully restored landmark homes. Originally built in 1813, the home has undergone a series of renovations to create its current luxury accommodations.

Situated halfway between Historic Bethel Village and Sunday River Ski Resort, this house is located on the Mountain Explorer route, a free service that transports residents and visitors to and from the Sunday River Resort and Bethel Village every half-hour all winter long. Nearby, several notable restaurants and family-friendly activities can be found.

This home is also located on the Snowmobiling Trails in Maine, offering unlimited access to the network throughout New England and Canada.

During the fall, the area brings crowds from around the country to admire the rainbow-colored foliage. In the late fall and winter months, the home serves as a retreat for the downhill and cross-country skiers, snowboarders and snowmobilers who enjoy partaking of the Sunday River Ski Resort amenities and other nearby Northeast winter sport destinations.

There are numerous spring and summer activities such as canoeing, kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, golfing, fishing, and swimming in the many local lakes.

I was taught if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all…. Well I have LOTS to say about this amazing property! It was the most well appointed rental I’ve ever stayed at…not only did they have everything you could need, but it was all top quality too - no yard sale mix and match pots and pans, etc. they had super comfy mattresses and pillows, and the owner was FANTASTIC to work with!! We will definitely come back to this property for another vacation. Oh, and that wasn’t enough, the location was perfect - close to everything you want to do in the area!!

Wonderful stay in Bethel

We had an excellent week in the Thaddeus Twitchell house and Jason/Erin were perfect hosts. The 16 of us thoroughly enjoyed the home which was immaculate, a kitchen that was amazing, and a pool/hot tub that was wonderful. The entire house was well decorated and had numerous accoutrements that surprised us all. We highly recommend a stay at the TW house! You will love it!!

Convenient to Sunday River

Had a great stay at the Thaddeus Twitchell house during our winter break. The house fit our large group of 16 very comfortably with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Location was excellent as our main goal was to ski at Sunday River. The house was about 8 mins drive to the resort. Overall a great stay!

Great house for family vacation

The house was as advertised and was a great place for a family vacation. Our family included several very small children so we ate many meals in the house.The lovely, large kitchen was better-equipped than any rental home we’ve stayed in, and we loved that there were plenty of bedrooms for everyone—most all with en suite baths. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and outdoor area. The owners promptly responded to the couple of questions we had.

Beautiful House

Our annual family reunion this year was held at the Thaddeus House. 10 adults and a 7 year old for 5 nights. House accommodated us very comfy. Kitchen has everything you will need. Plenty of towels. Rooms and bathrooms were exactly as described. Great place to spend time with large group and be able to just relax and enjoy. It’s a little old school meets modern vibe.

We had a great week! The house is beautiful and the setup so thoughtfully done…from two coffee makers to end tables at every pool chair. Plenty of yard games and tvs throughout. We had a great time in Bethel- kayaking, hiking, gem hunting and a great time at the house - swimming, playing cards and cooking in the ridiculously well stocked kitchen!
