The Escape at ThunderSnow
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Enjoy stunning tree-lined views of the Western Foothills of Maine in this classically built wood chalet. This home features a beautiful deck, well-stocked game room, and fantastic access to nearby ski slopes, hiking trails, and the White Mountain National Forest.
This home sits among the pines southwest of downtown Bethel, where its two-and-a-half acres overlook the Sunday River Valley. Find yourself at the entrance to White Mountain National Forest within minutes, pick up groceries or dine out at one of the excellent restaurants in Bethel seven miles northeast, and spend the winter skiing and snowboarding at Sunday River Resort 12 miles north.
Built in the winter of 2017, this all-seasons chalet is ideal for hikers, river rafters, leaf-peepers, and winter sports enthusiasts. Kick off your shoes and make yourself at home in the two-story great room, where you can curl up by the gas fireplace on soft leather furnishings, watch movies on the 55-inch Smart TV, and soak in the sunset view through picture windows that frame the national forest.
Gather around the kitchen island to chat with your family's designated chef, or make the great outdoors your kitchen, spending summer evenings on the deck grilling, dining, or sipping wine. You can also pull up a bench and watch the stars at the fire pit below (kindling supplied, and logs are freely available at most local farms). Retreat indoors for a night of foosball, hoop-shooting, and movies in the game room. Free WiFi, Amazon Prime and Hulu streaming, and a Bose or Amazon Echo bluetooth speaker are also provided for your enjoyment!
When you're not taking autumn rides on the Conway Scenic Railroad, photographing covered bridges, or cross-country skiing in some of New England's loveliest landscapes, you'll find plenty of craft shops, dining spots, and seasonal live music in town. Back at the house, you'll have your choice of two master suites, a kids room with bunk beds, an additional guest room and a pull-out futon, for blissful nights of restful sleep.
Treat yourself to a one-of-a-kind stay in the mountains of Maine - book today!
Guests are politely reminded that ThunderSnow Road is part of a private, residential area. Usage of roads (including down to the fire pond, as well as Gentle Ben Road) is strictly prohibited unless for turning/access. In addition, trespassing on any adjoining land (as well as both hunting and fireworks) are specifically banned under local bylaws. Guests will be asked to vacate the property if these areas are infringed upon.
If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. If you would like to add more dogs, please contact us.

Security camera details: Cameras face front steps and driveway
Please note: this home resides in a noise-sensitive area and the owners participate in our Good Neighbor protection program. Our smart home technology will alert our team if excessive decibel or occupancy levels are detected, allowing us to reach out directly with a reminder of maximum occupancy and quiet hours. This technology is privacy compliant, and only monitors the presence of decibels and devices-not any personal conversation or information. Thank you for supporting our efforts to be good neighbors!
Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”).
