The Escape at Thunder Snow Sunday River lodge with Stunning Views to Wake Up to
About this house rental
The Escape at Thunder Snow 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 at this the newly 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 for blissful nights of restful sleep. Treat yourself to a one-of-a-kind stay in the mountains of Maine - book today!

This was our first time staying in a rental home and I am hooked! Everything was easy, from making the reservation, to checking in and checking out. Home was immaculately clean and well-cared for and the house was stocked with everything you could possibly want (my adult son who loves to cook noted “they have a meat-infuser!) Lots of room and a wonderful view. Definitely 5 stars.

The house was perfect for our groups ski trip. It felt new and well put together. The only complaint was that the lower bunk bed was rickety and not very comfortable. Would stay at again.

This cabin had everything we needed for a winter getaway. Plenty of towels, room to spread out, loaded kitchen, and cozy fireplace. We enjoyed walking in the woods and were close to town, Sunday River Resort and so much more. We had some issues where the house ran out of propane but the owner was fantastic and got someone to come out that day to fill us back up! Thank you for an amazing stay, we are already discussing our return!

The home was perfect for 3 couples and we highly enjoyed our time. We each were able to have our own separate private space (with our own bathrooms!) The cloudy weather made for less of a view - but we still enjoyed what we could. Would definitely recommend trimming some landscape. As some of the trees are since overgrown compared to photos - but still a beautiful scenery. The Firepit was used multiple evenings - and you are completely surrounded by woods - loved it!
Some Minor things - needs an iron, and the washing machine didn’t seem to pull any water or work - but other than that - all was well. Thankfully we had other options for clothing and bathing suits.
Would definitely return - and don’t think twice about the escape at thunder snow!!

We arrived at the home and we loved it, it was beautiful, clean and exactly how it was described. The description states the home is air conditioned. It had a small unit in the kitchen and one in the upstairs bedroom. The house was 87 degrees when we arrived, we put the ac on in the kitchen and it barely cooled it down. The unit was much too small to keep up for that size room. The couple downstairs was miserable both nights because of the heat. The couple on the main floor had a fan so that helped somewhat. The house was 87-85 degrees all weekend and that was with windows open. The ac unit in the kitchen froze and was shooting ice out and then we had to shut it off. We called the rental company to let them know what happened Saturday morning. We told them that something needed to be done, perhaps swap out the ac unit for one that worked. She assured us someone would get back to us via text or email. We never heard from anyone. I’m sorry but as beautiful as we found the home, saying that the house is “air conditioned” is woefully inadequate especially during the summer months. Then to add insult to injury no one got back to us after we had a discussion with someone on Saturday morning when the house was a whopping 86 degrees at 9:30a.
Unfortunately, due to poor communication on behalf of the management company and how hot it was all weekend we will not be renting this home again.

I rented this house for a ski vacation with my family. The house has a beautiful view and is immaculate. We loved the open floor plan and the gas fireplace. Having 3 1/2 baths was wonderful and it had everything that you would need in the kitchen. It was about 20 minutes to Sunday River. We loved it and would rent it again next year. Unfortunately we had to leave a day early because of a wind storm and a loss of power and water.
