Come share our unique and beautiful 1813 home in the one and only true Vacationland!!!!!!

Our Thaddeus Twitchell House is 5,241 square feet with 8 Bedrooms, 7 and 2 half baths and is within walking distance to Bethel Village.

Located in the historic town of Bethel, the Thaddeus Twitchell House is one of the area's most beautifully restored landmark homes. Originally built in 1813, the home has undergone a series of renovations to create its current luxury accommodations.

Situated halfway between Historic Bethel Village and Sunday River Ski Resort, this house is located on the Mountain Explorer route, a free service that transports residents and visitors to and from the Sunday River Resort and Bethel Village every half-hour all winter long. Nearby, several notable restaurants and family-friendly activities can be found.

This home is also located on the Snowmobiling Trails in Maine, offering unlimited access to the network throughout New England and Canada.

This 5241 square foot home has central air-conditioning in summer and features a newly updated kitchen featuring brand-new stainless-steel appliances including an imported Italian commercial grade stove, a spacious dining room, a gorgeous living room with fireplace, a huge game room and eight bedrooms all with private baths except one with private half-bath.

During the fall, the area brings crowds from around the country to admire the rainbow-colored foliage. In the late fall and winter months, the home serves as a retreat for the downhill and cross-country skiers, snowboarders and snowmobilers who enjoy partaking of the Sunday River Ski Resort amenities and other nearby Northeast winter sport destinations.

There are numerous spring and summer activities such as canoeing, kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, golfing, fishing, and swimming in the many local lakes.

The home was beautiful and could accommodate a large group like ours. We appreciated the good communication with the host, the spacious and well-stocked kitchen, the en suite bathrooms with good water pressure, and the great location super close to Sunday River.

Our host JASON was extremely welcoming. The amenities in the house are far beyond what would be needed. Everything is first class. We love the proximity to Sunday River. We had a great time skiing three generations together. It would be difficult to describe the exquisite food, one confined in the town of Bethel. We truly recommend this for any kind of family gathering. Again we want to acknowledge how friendly and supportive Jason was throughout- thank you!

I was taught if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all…. Well I have LOTS to say about this amazing property! It was the most well appointed rental I’ve ever stayed at…not only did they have everything you could need, but it was all top quality too - no yard sale mix and match pots and pans, etc. they had super comfy mattresses and pillows, and the owner was FANTASTIC to work with!! We will definitely come back to this property for another vacation. Oh, and that wasn’t enough, the location was perfect - close to everything you want to do in the area!!

Wonderful stay in Bethel

We had an excellent week in the Thaddeus Twitchell house and Jason/Erin were perfect hosts. The 16 of us thoroughly enjoyed the home which was immaculate, a kitchen that was amazing, and a pool/hot tub that was wonderful. The entire house was well decorated and had numerous accoutrements that surprised us all. We highly recommend a stay at the TW house! You will love it!!

The house was exactly as advertised and as wonderful as you imagine it to be. We’re an extended family of 8 with teenagers and adolescents staying for 5 nights in the summer. The heated in ground pool, resort-style deck, clean hot tub, flat backyard with fully stocked lawn games kept the kids busy for days and nights. The screen house by the pool with perfect tabletop fire feature kept us all bug free and cozy for family games at night. Jason is a great communicator and made the whole process flawless. The house was perfectly appointed, beautifully decorated, full of local history and unbelievably comfortable. Highly recommended rental.

The Twitchell House is a lovely historic home with some excellent modern updates including individual AC units, swimming pool, and a hot tub. There was ample seating for our large crowd for both dining and entertainment. The house was well stocked with upgraded paper products, linens, and towels. The kitchen was well stocked with good quality cookware, utensils, flatware, serving dishes, and baking dishes. There was ample glassware for both indoor and outdoor use. The pool had good quality patio furniture with ample lounge chairs. Jason was very responsive during our stay and one problem related to the pool heater was fixed immediately. We would happily stay there again.

Convenient to Sunday River

Had a great stay at the Thaddeus Twitchell house during our winter break. The house fit our large group of 16 very comfortably with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Location was excellent as our main goal was to ski at Sunday River. The house was about 8 mins drive to the resort. Overall a great stay!

Jane- Thank you so much for spending your winter break with us! Yes, we are lucky to be so close to Sunday River, but separate enough that you don't feel on top of other people and you have your privacy. Hopefully your crew also likes hiking and biking because we are also in prime location for that in the summer...hint, hint :) Sincerely, John and Cynthia
