In the fall, the legendary New England colors are the big attraction. With a beautiful lake framed by the mountains, this is a wonderful place to experience one of nature’s greatest displays.
In the winter, the most popular activities are skiing at Shawnee Peak or Sunday River.

We loved everything about the Chalet. The fall views were beautiful and the house worked well for our group - two families with young kids. The kitchen was fully equipped and there were plenty of games to play. The house is very comfortable with space to spread out. The owner, Scott, was very helpful and quick to respond. We'd love to come back in any season!
The house was clean, spacious, and very comfortable for our group of 10, which included kids ages 6-12. The owner was extremely helpful and made sure we had all information needed for the property. We enjoyed skiing at both Sunday River and Pleasant Mountain. It was a great spot for our crew.
We had the great luxury of renting the Gustafson's chalet for a week between Christmas and the New Year for our family of 5. The mountain views are breathtaking and so relaxing. It's a little bit like being in a tree house with the full wall of glass and the beautful vista. The pics don't do it justice. The chalet is private, comfortable & extremely well appointed. They thought of everything to make it ultra comfortable - great pillows, blankets, mattresses and towels and we enjoyed using the Belgian waffle maker! The layout was perfect for our family. Our teen daughter and my husband and I stayed in the 2 king bedrooms on the main level and shared the bright, sunny and large bath. Our young adult sons had the entire upstairs to themselves. The communication with the owners was thorough and extremely helpful, I truly felt they had thought of all the possible questions we may have had. It was a 5 minute drive to Pleasant Mountain where we skied and 10 minutes to downtown Bridgton which offers some fun dining options. We were already very familiar with the area but the hosts left alot of good information on local attractions. We know many of the nearby hiking trails, excellent all year round. We are planning a repeat visit. 5 Star Chalet!
We were all very happy with our stay here. The house is laid out perfectly with the bedrooms away from the rest of the activity. We went with our company Ridge Hemp while we were at the Fryeburg Fair. It was an easy drive back and forth and we really appreciated the quiet neighborhood! Thank you!
Everything was great! Scott was awesome communicating! Will stay again!
Very much enjoyed our stay. Don’t know if we will get back to the Maine area, but would gladly stay again at this property. We were looking for away time with family and this provided exactly that. The Alpine Village access to water activities was a plus. We took advantage of some nice hikes in New Hampshire as well. Texted Scott once out of a cottage concern. He was quick to respond and assured me all was well. Couldn’t have asked for anything more from Scott.
The property was more beautiful in person than in pictures with a view of Shawnee Peak just as the description says. More than enough beds (very comfortable) for our slightly larger crowd than usually stays there. The owner (Scott) was great with instructing us how to operate the gas stove in the living room and pellet stove in the basement. He quickly responded when we had an issue with the gas stove starting and got us back on track even though he was attending a conference in FL. The location is great. There are several restaurants to choose from and a major supermarket if needed. Also it's 5 minutes to Shawnee Peak, 15 minutes from Fryeburg ME if you want to rent snowmobiles, and only 30 minutes to North Conway for tubing at Cranmore and the outlets if that's your thing. We high;y recommend this property and would stay again!!
This property was perfect for our group and what we were looking for in our Feb vacation stay. It's a 5 minute drive to Shawnee Peak and Bridgton, is spacious but cozy and has wonderful views of Pleasant Mountain. The home is super clean and well appointed with everything you'd need for a comfortable stay. Scott is a great communicator and host. Thanks for the awesome stay and we can't wait to come back next winter!
