About this chalet rental
Tucked away in the woods but conveniently located a short 15 minute drive from Bethel village, 25 minutes from Sunday River, and 12 minutes from Mount Abram, this well-appointed chalet-style home is the perfect place to relax after a long day on the slopes or in the hills. During the summer of 2015, we added a new Hot Springs Sovereign spa on a new secluded deck. Enjoy the benefits of hydrotherapy while taking in spectacular mountain sunset views, looking up to starry nights, or sipping on your morning coffee.
In the winter, cozy up next to the fire on the open main floor while the kids watch a movie downstairs.
In the summer, enjoy the beautiful mountain views while sitting on the wrap-around deck, the star-gazing, and the long evenings playing cards in the screened in porch.
This beautiful getaway comfortably sleeps 8 with plenty of room to spare.
Come enjoy our home as much as we do!

This was our 4th time staying at Dave and Nate’s place. They’re excellent hosts. Each group of friends and family we’ve gone with has been wowed by the balance of charm/comfort/amenities (working wifi, surround sound music system, gas fireplace, large hot tub, etc.)

We had the best time staying at the Jackalope Lodge. Nate & Dave were very helpful and would respond within minuets to any questions we had. The check in and check out process was very easy and the house was perfect.
Thank you for a family vacation at your home.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our 2nd extended stay and are hoping to book again next year. The cabin, which is on a private lot, is well located and appointed with great amenities including a gas fireplace, hot tub, and outdoor fire pit. There are so many hikes within driving distance as well as other outdoor activities. The hosts are great and very responsive. We highly recommend staying here if looking in the Bethel area!

We had the joy of enjoying for several weeks- only bad part was leaving and coming home. The lodge pictures do not capture the comfort and beauty of the house.
Fantastic hosts, comfy beds, hot tub, hummingbirds acrobatics, well stocked everything, and room to breath.
We could not recommend more.
ALSO: Be sure to look up in the night outside to see the best “light” show painted in the sky.

Wonderful ski vacation
We had a fabulous week here - one of the most well-appointed VRBOs we’ve rented. Great layout for our family and very comfortable beds. Perfect base for skiing at Sunday River and Mt Abram. Very responsive hosts and easy check-in/check-out process. We hope to return!

Perfect ski chalet
Charming, clean, and highly functional house with privacy and good location about 20 minutes from sunday river. The outdoor hot tub was amazing. Plenty of space for 8 people. For people looking to work from home, there is a full work station downstairs with a docking station and a monitor. We also enjoyed the outdoor fire pit. The host is very responsive and generous. Highly recommend!

Great Winter Getaway
The house was just as described, and for us, perfect. It was warm, comfortable and cozy but also open and airy. The kitchen was stocked and the gratis bottle of wine was a very nice touch. Everything was seamless and we would definitely recommend this house for any group of 2 - 8. Thank you David and Nathan!

This cabin has it all!
My wife and I just wrapped up a two week stay and we wish we could have stayed longer. The cabin is beautiful, homey and has all the right amenities including a gas fireplace, hot tub, grill, outdoor firepit, etc. I would definitely stay here again!

Amazing property with hosts that are second to none!
Nate and David are gracious hosts and keep the property in impeccable condition. They thought of everything you might on your trip and it's there in the house waiting for you. My biggest surprise was the Tesla charger so when I rolled up in my Model 3, I didn't have to worry about charging the entire time I was there. We enjoyed a nightly dip in the hot tub and few fires in the outdoor fire pit with some of the wood that was chopped and ready to go for us. You can't go wrong stay here!

Very relaxing stay in a beautiful setting
Our family had a wonderful vacation at the Jackalope Lodge. The house is lovely and has just about every convenience you could want. The setting is beautiful and so peaceful. Unfortunately we picked an unusually hot week to visit which meant we spent a little less time than we had planned enjoying the outdoors. I’m not a fan of the heat. The main floor of the house got a bit hot but the lower level of the house where the tv is stayed completely comfortable and the bedroom air conditioners were wonderful. It was too hot for the hot tub but we enjoyed the screened porch in the morning and evening. We especially enjoyed all the hummingbirds that visited the feeders on the deck and listening to the other birds in the trees.
We have AT&T and there was no cell reception at the house but the WiFi was excellent.
We had everything we needed and the hosts were extremely responsive and so nice. My son is already asking if we can go back in the winter to enjoy the skiing in the area!

Relaxing Weekend Away
My partner and I are incredibly busy with our businesses, kids, pets and life so we wanted a weekend away to unwind, write and just relax. This was the perfect place to do that. The house was beautiful and the area was so peaceful. Everything went smooth and easy. We never even left via car the entire time we were there. We took small hikes, sat in the hot tub at night and spent time together. Perfect getaway. Thank you Nathan and Dave for the weekend we needed.

Great escape!
The house was great! Super clean, comfortable beds and a well stocked kitchen, which has not only cookware but spices, sugar, etc. I even found nutmeg:) The check in process was flawless, and we felt very welcome, right down to the bottle of wine left for our arrival. Close to great hiking, cross country skiing, and, of course, Sunday River. It was nice having the tv room downstairs, but the living room open to the kitchen. Very cozy, but allowed for some separation. Probably one of the most welcoming VRBOs we’ve stayed in.

Absolutely everything we needed
I can’t express enough how much we enjoyed our stay. The place was so cute and nicely decorated, super clean, and has everything we could ever want. We all thought the beds were super comfortable and the hot tub was a perfect touch for our mountain getaway. Thank you so so much for hosting one of my favorite properties i’ve rented! We hope to return sometime in the future

Girl’s Weekend to Remember!
What a beautiful property! We do an annual girls trip each year and with Covid, we wanted somewhere private and Jackalope Lodge was perfect! We explored the woods, and star gazed in the hot tub every night! Nathan and Dave are amazing hosts! We will definitely will be back!!

This an exceptional rental from beginning to end. As three mid-twenty year olds working remote for five weeks this seemed like a risky booking, but wow did it pay off! Communication with the hosts was clear right from the start, and the contactless checkin was seamless. The decor makes for a warm seasonal touch. Within hours we were able to settle in, making the place feel like home. All three of us were working remote with constant video calls and downloads and the internet was fantastic. We regularly cooked large meals and the kitchen was full of basic cooking utensils and great appliances. After dinner we enjoyed lounging in the living room with the electric fireplace. We also took full advantage of the hot tub, especially under the night sky and there’s plenty of fire logs for an outdoor fire in the fire pit. Indoors, the finished basement with an Apple TV was a great place to unwind. We also enjoyed the surrounding area, even during covid. Socially distanced wine tastings, some fun takeout options, beautiful hikes/bike/running routes. And the leaf peeping was incredible!! None of us had ever spent this much time in Maine and we were all truly blown away. We fully recommend this property for anyone looking for all comforts of home while also embracing the wonderful outdoors of Maine.

Jackalope FTW!
What a great place! Beautiful property only 20 minutes from Sunday River. Plenty of towels, linen and the cupboards were well stocked with cooking ingredients etc. Hot tub was great too. Modern with beautiful furnishings while maintaining the classic ski lodge feel.
Thanks so much Dave and Nate for sharing your property with us.

Great place to unwind
We stayed at Jackalope for two weeks and were very happy with our stay. Nathan and Dave are wonderful hosts, responding immediately to any questions we had. The house is as shown, but even better in person. It's a very private setting, surrounded by trees and with lovely wildflowers in the yard. The house was extremely clean and everything was in good working order. Lovely, tasteful furnishings. A great place for a family to stay. We've stayed in many VRBO houses over the years, and this one is definitely near the top - if not the top! Highly recommended. You won't be disappointed.

Always Amazing!
This is our 3rd stay at this incredible home. We always stay here for our family ski getaway over February break. We have a 9 year old and 12 year old. It literally has everything you will ever need. Upon arrival, you will find it is immaculately clean with a special touch of a bottle of wine from your hosts. There is so much space to spread out and yet it has the most charming feel. The hosts have really made an effort to really give the home charming attention to detail. We love the outdoor hot tub every day after a long day of skiing and the amazing flatscreen with surround sound downstairs feels like your at the movies. They offer so many amazing options for movies each night and we really look forward to that. It has an ideal proximity to Sunday River as it is around 15-20 minute drive which we actually like as the house is so quiet and private. You feel like your really in nature with such a beautiful view. This really is our home away from home. Thank you again!

Great house!!
We had a great stay at this house for our first trip to ski Sunday River. The owners were so easy to work with. The house was clean, nicely furnished, and very comfortable for our family of five. We particularly enjoyed the fireplace and hot tub. We will definitely rent again.

Ski cabin heaven!
We stayed here for five days with my brother's family to ski at Sunday River and celebrate Christmas together. While the conditions on the slopes could have been better, the cabin was perfect. The cabin is well set up and very comfortable. It was wonderfully decorated for the holidays (we loved all the small lights and big owl lights),and had everything we wanted in terms of cooking, sleeping, and entertainment. A special source of happiness was the jacuzzi after fighting the icy patches on the mountain!

Great Cabin & Awesome Experience!
We absolutely loved our stay at this cabin! We spent several weeks here over the summer and truly enjoyed every minute. The layout of the cabin was perfect for our family & our 2 boys loved the bunk bed room. We also enjoyed walks on the path behind the cabin and saw several deer and turkeys! The location was also perfect as it's just a short ride into town. The best part was how amazing the owners are to work with... they were really great & very accommodating! We'll definitely be back!

Most perfect stay ever!
Every year, my husband and I choose to go away to the mountains for a relaxing, quiet break from our chaotic lives. We have good experiences with Home Away, but Jackalope lodge is the best place we’ve stayed, by far! First of all, the setting is incredible. Nestled between Bethel and Newry, there’s enough to feel secluded but not isolated. The view from the porch is incredible and the outdoor activities are marvelous. We hiked the White Mtn National Forrest, visited waterfalls, grilled out for dinner, played pool at the local inn, made the most perfect fire, watched the beautiful hummingbirds on the deck, did star gazing from backyard, the list goes on. Secondly, the actual lodge is gorgeous...so comfy and luxurious at the same time. The hot tub is amazing! Everything you need is there for you (fire pit, grill, movies, mountains, sunset views, wildlife, you name it!). And lastly, and as importantly, the owners are AWESOME! They are attentive, caring hosts...very responsive to any questions we had, provided great suggestions for our trip, and upon arrival, had a nice bottle of wine waiting for us. It was such a great trip, my husband and I are hoping to be back for the winter season...even bringing some friends. If you are looking for a relaxing getaway, look no further than Jackalope lodge. Highly recommend! :)

Beautiful, cozy and well equipped
This home is not only beautiful but well equipped and functional. The kitchen was stocked with high quality cookware and serve ware to make cooking just as enjoyable as home. The AV system is amazing, with apple TV and excellent quality speakers in the great room/porches that stream right from your phone. We skied Sunday River and it's about a 20 min drive. Once back from the mountain, it's easy to relax amongst the gorgeous views. Can't wait to return!

Absolutely Our Favorite Home Away From Home
This is our second stay at this beautiful spot and once again it did not disappoint. It truly does have all the modern amenities except with all the special comfort and charm that really makes you feel at home. It is very clean and the beds are very comfortable. The Apple TV with free movies is a special touch along with being able to do laundry. We used the hot tub every night which was wonderful after a long day skiing. There really isn’t a thought or special touch that hasn’t been thought of. We also love that it is close approx. 15 minutes from Sunday River but away from the hustle and bustle. The house is set back in a way that makes you feel like you are all by yourself away from it all. We truly love coming here and look forward to our annual trip every year. We will definitely be back again and can not wait!

Awesome ski getaway-Beautiful home
The owners are great to deal with. Very welcoming experience. 20 minutes to Sunday River was an easy drive. If you don’t need rentals, strongly recommend parking at White Cap. Easy parking close to lodge and never busy. House was immaculately kept. Hot tub is serviced weekly and crystal clear water. Thank you so much for taking our 2 families in (4 adults, 4 kids 11-15y/o)!
