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.

The property is situated on 1.6 acres with wooded backyard and beautiful landscaping. A new private heated in-ground pool was just added to the property to enjoy as well as the hot tub. (Under Amenities, pool is open late May - late September)

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. This area is ideal for fun activities for families and social retreats. It also serves as the perfect unique venue to accommodate guests for an exceptionally beautiful wedding and reception!

    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. I would definitely recommend this home to a large group looking for a great place to stay in this area!

    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!!

    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.

    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 16 of us thoroughly enjoyed the home which was immaculate, a kitchen that was amazing, and a pool/hot tub that was wonderful.

    Our family, 14 of us, rented the Thaddeus Twitchell House during the Columbus Day weekend. The home was beautifully furnished and decorated and all the furniture was top notch. Everything was exactly as described in the literature. There were no surprises, only delights. All the appliances were top quality and worked as expected. The kitchen had two dish washers. What a blessing for our large group. Every room had a bathroom and most rooms had their own TV. The hosts were wonderful. John and Cynthia were very responsive and made sure our stay would be a positive one. We experienced a major wind storm during our stay which caused damage to a tree in the front yard. Within a few hours a crew was on site, removed the downed limb and thoroughly cleaned up the debris. We couldn’t have asked for more. The whole weekend was a very positive experience. Thank you John and Cynthia for helping make our family gathering memorable.

    We stayed in this big house for 3 nights with our 4 grown-up children's family from east and west coasts for our first family reunion trip in honor of my recently deceased mother who valued family tie. We had a total of 10 adults and 6 children and the reunion was just fantastic. At the dinner table of our last night staying there, we all took turn to say something about this stay. The comments are as follows: 1. The kitchen is really big, equipped with all the gadgets we need and 2 dishwashers, making preparation of meals extra convenient. 2. The swimming pool is a blast and we can stay there for most of our days, plus the hot tub is super relaxing and comfortable. 3. The bedrooms are so comfortable and we love having our own bathroom. 4. The dinner table is so big that we can all sit together to enjoy our meals 5. The place is really spacious so we can have our own space if needed or chat as a group when feel like to. 6. The house is so sound-proof that we can have quiet sleep without hearing babies crying. 7. The game room with its many games is fun for both young and old. 8. My 7-years old grandson said, 'We should come here every year for a family reunion!' Thanks to John and Cynthia for sharing their lovely house with us, and their quick response to any questions we had is highly commendable.

    The house was as advertised and was a great place for a family vacation. Our family included several very small children so we ate many meals in the house.The lovely, large kitchen was better-equipped than any rental home we’ve stayed in, and we loved that there were plenty of bedrooms for everyone—most all with en suite baths. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and outdoor area. The owners promptly responded to the couple of questions we had.
