Embrace the Chill More Ways Than One at This Cozy Winter Getaway in Maine

Do your winter plans call for a local getaway? A private rental where you can enjoy nearby winter activities during the day and then cozy up and relax at night? If so, I have found the perfect spot for your next cold-weather vacation. A stay at the charming Kingfield Chalet Airbnb in Kingfield, Maine, will have you embracing the chill this snowy season.

This winter-friendly cabin in Maine has been described by one traveler as "lovely, quiet, and serene," and it's easy to see why. The Kingfield Chalet is a scenic three-bedroom, two-bathroom rental in the quaint town of Kingfield. Incredible skiing, snowshoeing, fat biking, and lots of winter fun can be found just 10 minutes away at the Sugarloaf Ski Resort. Be sure to also check out the resort's indoor anti-gravity complex for adventures like rock climbing, basketball, and trampoline fun. Other nearby winter activities include fantastic snowmobile, hiking, and ATV trails. 

The chalet is the perfect place to relax after a long day of winter fun. Situated at the base of Ira Mountain on two acres of land, the cabin offers privacy and stunning scenery. The home is rustically decorated, yet has all the modern amenities you need to enjoy a comfortable stay. There is a full kitchen where you can cook warm, hearty meals and mix delicious cocktails, and a cozy living area with comfortable couches and a fireplace. With three bedrooms and an additional loft area, there is plenty of room for your family and friends.

There is a lot of entertainment included in your stay. Play one of the home’s board games, get snug, and watch your favorite shows and movies on the numerous streaming services, or play a game on the Nintendo Switch and PS4. The cabin also has toys, books, and equipment for babies and toddlers. 

While the inside of the chalet is incredible, my favorite part of this Airbnb is the outside porch area, where you will find the home’s six-person hot tub. There is nothing like a warm, jetted soak after a cold day on the slopes. Guests can also use the fire pit and grill.

If you venture into town, you will find plenty of great food in Kingfield. The Kingfield Woodsman on Main Street is a wonderful breakfast spot, and Rolling Fatties is an excellent place to dine on delicious Mexican cuisine.
