4th of July in a Small New England Town


Celebrate the 4th in a quintessential New England way! Enjoy everything from an outdoor art fair  (in its 21st year) to a community picnic to a free concert by the Portland Brass Quintet. You won't need to bring your own lunch to the picnic because Allen will supply his famous oven-fried chicken and Jackie will provide the rest, including brownies for dessert. All this for $220 for two nights, plus tax. Offer good for 2 nights Friday through Sunday night; stay three nights for $297, plus tax. (No need to worry about inclement weather. If rain threatens, the concert is held at the Middle Intervale Meeting House in East Bethel, an historic building with wonderful acoustics.)

 

Maine Minerals Weekend Special

Maine has an amazing history of mining and some of the most beautiful and largest semi-precious gems have been discovered right in the Bethel area. If you are at all interested in minerals, gems and mining, then this is the weekend to be in Bethel! Stay at Rivendell House for the weekend (Fri and Saturday nights) and attend the 49th Annual Western Maine Gem, Mineral and Jewelry Show. The show runs both Saturday and Sunday, and there are guided field trips offered both days as well.( If you want to take a field trip on Sunday, we'll allow you to check out later.) Special rate for the two nights is $210.00, plus tax.

 

Art, Music and More in the Mountains

Allen likes to say that, up here in Bethel, we are "insulated", not "isolated." Yes, it is quiet up here in the woods, but you'd be surprised at just how much is going on! Come stay with us for two or more nights and sample just a bit of the art, music, theater and history that proves his point. Experience summer theater at Deertrees Theatre and Cultural Center or The Theater at Monmouth; visit art galleries and historical museums; attend a free Sunday afternoon concert on the Bethel Common; wander through an old garden. In between all your activity, relax on our front porch with a glass of lemonade or iced tea. Visit the links on our "Bethel and Beyond" page, choose the dates that offer the events you'd like to enjoy, and give us a call. We'll make reservations for you if they are needed and we can help with designing your itinerary. Special rate of $100/night, plus tax, with a minimum 2-night stay. As always, the rate includes full breakfast and afternoon refreshments.
