Welcome to Balsam Lodge—a private, four-season retreat just minutes from Sunday River and the heart of Bethel, Maine. Designed for families and groups, the cabin blends mountain-lodge charm with modern comforts: recently upgraded A/C + heat pumps for year-round comfort, memory-foam beds with multiple spaces to gather.
After the slopes or a summer hike, slip into the 6-person hot tub set inside our screened gazebo—a guest favorite for starry nights and bug-free dinners. Inside, unwind by the cast-iron gas stove, host big family meals or head to the second lounge/TV room for games, movies, and kid hangouts.
Cooking is easy in the fully equipped kitchen (granite island, quality cookware, waffle maker, blender, bakeware). Sleep comes easy across three levels: a main-floor bedroom with adjacent full bath; an upstairs loft with two queen beds and game table; and a spacious lower-level bunk + queen suite with a memory-foam sleeper and laundry room. Step outside to the covered porch with adirondack chairs, a fire pit out back with benches, and propane grill.
Thoughtful extras: 20 kW whole-home generator for peace of mind, fast Wi-Fi, and a curated selection of family games, DVDs, and video games for cozy nights in. Close to skiing, golf, kayaking, leaf-peeping, swimming holes, and trailheads—the perfect base for a Maine mountain getaway.
