1 Bed 1 Bath Vacation Home in Newry

Newry sits in Maine's western mountains, a short drive from Sunday River and the Grafton Notch hiking trails. This one-bedroom apartment trades the bustle of a hotel lobby for direct access to ski slopes and forest - you step outside into the landscape itself. The unit has a full kitchen, fireplace, and a spa setup (heated indoor pool and hot tub) that works as well in April mud season as it does come winter. The trade-off is straightforward: you're renting an apartment, not staying at a hotel, which means you're responsible for your own pace and comfort, and the property management moves slowly on requests.

Ski-in, ski-out access to Maine's biggest mountain. The apartment sits with direct slope access to Sunday River, eliminating the shuttle-and-parking routine. Spring skiers and early-season visitors in April and May find it especially convenient.

A full kitchen and living space beats a hotel room for groups. You have a dining table, stove, oven, refrigerator, coffee maker, and microwave - cook breakfast, pack trail lunches, eat on your own schedule. The fireplace and sofa bed let a small group spread out.

Spa amenities on-site. An indoor heated pool and hot tub are built in, so there's no extra charge or reservation needed. After a day of hiking or skiing, the hot tub is immediate.

Mountain and forest access. The property sits near Grafton Notch State Park and numerous hiking trails along streams and waterfalls. Solo travelers and couples seeking nature without noise have found real value in the location.

The property is a single one-bedroom apartment across two floors. The bedroom has linens and an alarm clock. The living area spans a large footprint with a sofa, dining table, desk, and fireplace. The kitchen is fully equipped. The bathroom has a bathtub, shower, hairdryer, and standard amenities. A balcony and terrace offer mountain views.

• One-Bedroom Apartment: Two-floor unit with full kitchen, fireplace, sofa bed, and direct slope access.

Note: Heat management in summer is a known issue. The unit has windows only on one side, limiting air circulation. There is no air-conditioning. Temperatures above 85°F outdoors can make the interior uncomfortable, especially in the upper level. If you're visiting between June and August, confirm cooling solutions with the host before booking.

The heated indoor pool and hot tub are the standout on-site amenities. They're open year-round and require no separate booking. After a cold-weather day on the slopes or trails, the hot tub is a significant perk.

Winter (December–March). Ski season. The heated pool and hot tub offset the cold. The balcony views are clear and sharp. Sunday River is at full capacity. This is peak demand; book early.

Spring (April–May). Mud season and spring skiing. Trails open as snow melts. The hiking around Grafton Notch becomes accessible mid-May. The property is quieter than winter.

Summer (June–August). Peak hiking season, but heat and humidity without air-conditioning make the apartment uncomfortable during the day. Families with young children stay outside or in town most of the time. Not recommended unless you're willing to spend days hiking or at lower elevations.

Fall (September–October). Leaf-peeping is strongest in early October. The temperature is ideal. Hiking is excellent. The property is at moderate occupancy.

Close to some trails, falls and streams. The location is perfect for outdoor access.

The fireplace is a nice touch after a long day outside.
