Some homes are simply a place to stay, Birchwoods Lodge is where unforgettable memories are made. Towering cathedral ceilings, a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and walls of windows create an inviting mountain lodge atmosphere that's perfect for gathering after a day at nearby Sunday River or exploring charming downtown Bethel.
Spend slow mornings sipping coffee by the fire before heading out to ski, hike, golf, or explore western Maine. In the evenings, challenge your group to a game of pool, enjoy drinks at the lower-level bar, or slip into the private hot tub beneath the stars. Whether you're celebrating with family, reconnecting with friends, or enjoying a holiday together, every space in the home is designed to bring people together.
Sleeping up to 10 guests, the lodge features four comfortable bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms spread across three spacious levels. The main-floor primary suite offers a king bed, its own gas fireplace, and a spa-inspired ensuite with a luxurious two-person walk-in shower. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms provide peaceful retreats, while the walkout lower level includes a large bunk room, another inviting living area with a gas fireplace, a full bathroom, and a game room complete with a pool table and bar.
The fully equipped kitchen opens to a generous dining area where everyone can gather for meals after a day of adventure. A spacious mudroom provides plenty of room for ski gear, boots, bikes, and outdoor equipment, making every season easy and enjoyable.
Located just minutes from Sunday River Resort and downtown Bethel, Birchwoods Lodge offers the perfect home base for ski vacations, golf trips, mountain biking, hiking, leaf-peeping, and year-round family getaways.
To enjoy your trip to this property, 4WD may be required during snowy months.
