The Jolly Drayman at The Briar Lea Inn - is located in the Mahoosuc Mountains, just one minute outside the quaint historic village of Bethel, and only five miles from one of New England' s premier ski areas; Sunday River.
Bethel is truly a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the busy places, to enjoy nature at its fullest, breathe fresh mountain air, and enjoy a stroll through the historic village and National Historic District. There is something for everyone as each season unfolds dramatically.
This area is truly the best of both worlds; tranquil rural and mountain scenery yet surprisingly close to Maine' s most cosmopolitan city Portland, with its air and international ferry links to the rest of the nation and Canada and its major medical facilities and cultural attractions.
