35 Hideaway
35 Hideaway: A Mountain Chalet Built for Groups in Bethel

Why Stay
Why 35 Hideaway
The 35 Hideaway is a four-bedroom detached chalet designed with one clear purpose: let multiple families or a larger group spread out comfortably without feeling cramped. The location is unbeatable if your plan involves Sunday River - just 12 minutes downslope - but this property works equally well for anyone wanting a base camp for hiking, mountain biking, or simply sitting on a balcony with a view that doesn't ask much of you. It's the kind of place where kids scatter to the game room while adults sort themselves between the sauna and hot tub, and no one's on top of anyone else. The chalet opens onto a garden and patio backed by mountain views; inside, the kitchen is real - not a galley - and there's a fireplace both indoors and out.
The property sleeps groups comfortably across four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, with private parking, WiFi that works, and enough modern conveniences (washer, dryer, dishwasher, heat) to feel like a home rather than a cabin. The host allows dogs, which matters if your crew includes four-legged friends. Given the scale and amenities, this chalet Bethel works best for families, mixed groups, or anyone renting for a week rather than a night - the economics and logistics favor staying put.
Skiing and mountain sports are a twelve-minute drive away. Sunday River sits closer to this chalet than to many of Bethel's inns; you can load skis or a bike and be on the mountain within the time it takes to drink coffee. The proximity matters especially in shoulder seasons when daylight is precious.
The layout is built for groups who don't want to live in each other's pockets. Four bedrooms and three bathrooms mean families can claim their own space. A dedicated game room (board games, video games, karaoke) keeps kids and teenagers occupied on afternoon rain breaks. The combination of sauna and hot tub handles post-ski recovery or post-hike cooling off without requiring anyone to leave the property.
The kitchen is equipped to cook real meals. Full stovetop, oven, dishwasher, dining table that seats the whole crew - not just a two-burner campground setup. Grocery delivery is available, so a week-long rental doesn't require a daily town run.
Mountain views and outdoor living come standard. The balcony, patio, and garden face the scenery rather than a parking lot. An outdoor fireplace lets groups linger outside on mild evenings; an outdoor dining area works for breakfast or casual meals.
Dogs are welcome, with provided pet bowls and a designated pet basket. The private entrance and garden space make it straightforward for owners to manage pets across a multi-day stay.
Rooms
The rooms
The chalet is detached and spacious, organized around a central living area with a sofa, fireplace, and parquet floors. Four bedrooms distribute across the unit; each has linens and wardrobe storage. All three bathrooms are private, with bathtub or shower, towels, and free toiletries. Linens are fresh, and the overall aesthetic leans practical rather than fussy - suited to families who prioritize comfort and functionality over Instagram-ready decor.
- Primary bedrooms - setup details not specified, but the quantity and distribution suggest standard double and twin configurations across four rooms
- Bathrooms - three full baths reduce morning bottlenecks for a group of eight to twelve
- Common areas - living room with seating, full kitchen with dining table, game room, and utility spaces
The entire unit is wheelchair accessible, and air-conditioning handles summer heat. Hardwood and parquet flooring throughout requires no special footwear in a mountain house.

Seasons
When to visit
Winter (December–March) Sunday River's peak season. Snow is reliable, lifts run daily, and the chalet's hot tub becomes essential recovery equipment. The sauna and game room handle apres-ski evenings. Prices are highest; book far in advance.
Spring (April–May) Mud season in the mountains; roads are passable and hiking reopens. Fewer crowds, lower prices. Ski school programs at Sunday River end in early April. Weather is unpredictable - pack layers.
Summer (June–August) Hiking, mountain biking, and road cycling are prime. The playground and outdoor spaces shine. Hot tub and sauna draw fewer bathers; the focus shifts to outdoor activity. Summer tubing at Sunday River runs July and August. Foliage hasn't started; views are purely green.
Fall (September–October) Leaf-peeping season. Hiking trails fill with visitors from mid-September onward; peak foliage typically hits the third week of September. The chalet's mountain views become a selling point. Second-highest season for pricing; book six to eight weeks ahead.
