Ski Castle | Your Private Sunday River Ski Retreat

Fresh powder. First tracks. Hot tub under the stars. Sauna after a day on the mountain.

Welcome to the Ski Castle, a newly built mountain retreat on 3 private wooded acres in Newry, Maine—just minutes from Sunday River. Designed for ski groups, multiple families, and winter adventurers, the Ski Castle comfortably sleeps up to 14 guests and offers the perfect combination of convenience, privacy, and luxury for your Maine ski vacation.

Spend your days carving turns at Sunday River, exploring snowy mountain trails, snowshoeing through western Maine, or discovering everything the Bethel area has to offer. Then come home to your own private lodge where the best part of the day may just be the après-ski experience.

Soak in the hot tub. Warm up in the custom sauna. Gather around the fire pit. Share stories by the fireplace. Grill dinner on the deck while snow falls through the trees.

This is the ski getaway you've been looking for.

Ice Castle was the perfect home conveniently located very close to the mountain. The home was beautiful and had all the amenities you could ever need.

Everything at the beautiful Ski Castle was just perfect! From the moment we booked, Diana was highly communicative to ensure we were prepared for our stay and had all necessary details, including extra details about things going on in the area. The home includes so many nice “extras” being stocked with things like shower steamers and a welcome bottle of wine and s’mores kit for us to enjoy! Our boys loved catching frogs in the pond on the property, and me and my husband loved the hot tub and sauna. Everything was fantastic and we can’t wait to go back!

We had an excellent stay at The Castle! Beautiful and cozy accommodations. Fully equipped with everything we needed and more. We didn't use the sauna, but the spa was decadent! It was very close to the mountain for skiing. (And parking at the Jordan lift made it almost as easy as ski-in/ski-out access). We also spent lots of time just enjoying the house, sitting by the fire, playing cribbage and just relaxing (especially nice after a day on the slopes). Our dog (a Corgi) also loved the house and felt very welcomed with the dog treats, dog beds and space to run around outside. The host was also very welcoming, helpful and great communicating with us. We hope to return soon. In the meantime, if you're considering a place to stay in Sunday River, stay here!

Great ski weekend at the Ski Castle

The Host exceeded all expectations for our stay. We were greeted at her lovely home with hand/toe warmers and smores makings! She even delivered a beautiful (and yummy) charcuterie box for us the second day. She communicated with us everyday to make sure everything was perfect. She had great suggestions for where to park at Sunday River and made sure we knew when the plow truck was coming so it didn’t interfere with our plans. We will definitely come back next year for more ski fun!!!
