About this property

Chef A/C & Hot Tub, Private 1 acre, Mins to Sunday River! 21' Gazebo! Generator!

Pristine and private! We take a tremendous amount of pride in the quality of furnishings, bedding, linens, towels, and amenities at Apreś Ski Lodge. We continually update so that our guests always find a comfortable, well-appointed, and functional home with the extras that keep them coming back to Apreś Ski Lodge year after year.

The cabin has a New Jubilee Hot Tub, a 20 KW GENERATOR capable of supporting the entire home and hot tub in the event of a power outage, and a NEW A/C and HEAT PUMP, a ductless system that enhances your indoor air quality while preventing headaches, allergy symptoms, and other medical symptoms such as asthma. We splurged and installed a large, complete system so the entire cabin is cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

We are now offering Chef Services with Meryl Kelly! She has been in the restaurant industry for almost 20. In 2009, she earned her degree from the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco, CA, and has since honed her skills working in a variety of roles on the East and West coasts of America. She specializes in Farm-To-Table dining. See Attachment.

As you enter this beautifully decorated log cabin, you will feel at home with traditional log furniture, expansive leather sectional, and comfortable leather seating and beds.

Whether you are nestling into the soft leather chairs in front of the handsome cast iron fireplace/stove or preparing and eating a delicious meal, the combination living/dining area offers quiet or fellowship with family and friends. The area seats 12 comfortably for meals.

Unwind in the screened gazebo which houses the NEW 2020 Jubilee 6-person hot tub & outdoor dining for 8. The covered front porch has four comfortable Adirondack chairs for relaxing while barbequing your favorite meat and vegetables on the grill.
Snuggle in the secluded TV room where you may choose from DVDs, Blue Ray, Wii, and Xbox games, and cable TV. Enjoy the full kitchen, with all the necessities including baking/casserole dishes, pie ware, pots/pans, mixing bowls, coffee maker, toaster, blender, and waffle maker. Preparation and serving will be easy with the new granite top island. Then dine at one of the two tables, both of which seat eight. Additional dining that seats four is available on the lower level.
To end the evening, head to the NEW JUBILEE six-person hot tub with Bluetooth speakers just outside the basement sliding glass doors. Finally, snuggle into your beautiful log bed, all of which have memory foam and luxurious sheets, down blankets, and new comforters.

The cozy main floor master bedroom has a full bath just a few feet away, and the upstairs bedroom with two queen beds has a loft outside the door with a game table and games.
For those wanting additional privacy, the basement offers a TV/DVD, Wii and Xbox games, a bar table & chairs, and a queen pull-out sofa with a memory foam mattress.
A large private bedroom has a bunk bed with stairs for easy climbing, an additional pull-out twin, and a queen bed. A 6' 5-panel privacy screen is also located in the basement bedroom. The basement sleeps five-seven comfortably. The enclosed laundry room is located in the basement with a top-of-the-line front-loading washer/dryer.

Great stay
Beautiful cabin, very close to Sunday River and town. Had everything we needed and the hot tub and fireplace were nice after a long day skiing. We booked the private chef for dinner one night and it was an amazing meal- highly recommended!

THE perfect getaway home
We stayed for 3 nights and seriously ONLY regretted that we didn’t book for longer. We’ve travelled fairly often with kids and this was by far the best vacation home we have stayed at. I forgot a couple times it was a rental! You truly ge the full package. Every corner is thought through, family friendly, perfectly clean, smelled amazing upon arrival, & was even perfectly aesthetically coordinated and pleasant. I couldn’t have made a single remark. Blown away and hoping to come back some day!!! THANK YOU

Comfort in Bethel
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Apreś Ski Lodge! The house itself is laid out great, providing ample space for people to eat and hang out all together while offering full additional spaces to get away if want to do something different. The cabin has lots of amenities (one of the best stocked kitchens we have had) and is very homey, while having some great modern touches (it is super rare to find A/C in rentals in this type of area, but it is so nice). And the hot tub and table in the screened-in gazebo out back was incredible. Definitely would recommend if looking in the area!

About the host

Hosted by Diane Dalton

Host profile image
We visited Bethel, ME in 2011 and knew that this was a place we want to bring our family for many years to come. We were enamored with the area and chose this beautiful cabin which we immediately remodeled, then added a screened gazebo and fire pit to better enjoy the beautiful outdoors. Each year we continue to add features and upgrade because we consider each guest a special part of our endeavors to provide a wonderful vacation.

Why they chose this property

Where do we begin.....Ski magazine has hailed Bethel, ME 'The Greatest Ski Town In the Universe' and '#1 Best Skiing in New England', GOLF #1 'Best Public Golf Course in the Northeast' (2014). Bethel was also listed in the top 10 'Best Outdoor Places in America', offering hiking, biking, canoeing, rafting, and Bethel's Outdoor Adventure Park.

We first visited the Bethel area in the summer of 2011. We immediately fell in love with the area and its friendly people. There were countless activities from which to choose for our 15 y/o daughter and her friend. We played golf on the spectacular Sunday River #1 Ranked (GOLF 2014) course, hiked, canoed, and white-water rafted. On the weekend, we went to Sunday River Resort where we did the zip line and went down the mountain to the brewing company, where we had delicious hamburgers and a flight of beer. Sunday River also offers hiking and mountain biking at various levels of expertise.

The restaurants were fabulous! We dined at the tavern, Suds, where we listened to great live music. Later, we ate at a world renowned 22 Broad Street 4-star restaurant, where we had wonderful Italian food. There were many cuisines available....or you can cook your own delicious meal!

We were sold once we discovered that the best snow and golf course in the Northeast is Sunday River. Our family loves both winter and summer sports so this scenic place was perfect!

What makes this property unique

Since 2011, when we purchased our lovely cabin, it has been such a joy to offer our guests new and beautiful features. Every year, we determine what our guests and family would enjoy and add those features/items to the cabin.
