3mi Sunday River or swimming - Castle Lodge - Hot Tub - Sauna - Pond - Sleeps 14

Castle Lodge is a new construction, privately sited mountain retreat on 3 wooded acres in Newry, Maine — 3 miles from Sunday River Golf Club, 2 miles from Frenchman's Hole swimming hole, and minutes from Grafton Notch State Park hiking. With a pond, custom sauna, hot tub, and space for 14 guests, it's the most complete large-group rental in the Sunday River area. EV charger on-site (6/15). Dog friendly.

Guests come for the golf, the swimming holes, and the hiking. They come back because of the house.

**Summer in the Sunday River Area**
The Newry and Bethel area is one of western Maine's best-kept summer secrets — a full week of activity without repeating yourself. Swim at Frenchman's Hole (cliff jumping, waterslide, waterfall pools, 2 miles away).

Play 18 holes at Sunday River Golf Club, rated the #1 course in Maine by Golfweek, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. (3 miles).
