Located trail side on the Smelt Streamer ski trail, you can quickly get on the lifts each morning directly from the front door for early access to some of the best terrain in the east and easily get back to the A-Frame for lunch and breaks.

FLOORPLAN

The main floor offers a high-ceiling open concept layout with fantastic mountain views out the front and side windows. A well-appointed kitchen is highlighted by a custom flame yellow birch live edge countertop adorning the central island bar. You can relax after the ski day on the large sectional couch in front of the gas fireplace and flat-screen TV. Radiant floor heating warms the entire space efficiently providing a comfortable environment inside even on the very coldest of days outside.

FAQ

Is there true ski-in/ski-out lodging at Saddleback Mountain?
Yes — Bluebird Day is one of the few lodging options on the mountain that sits directly on ski trail. You can walk out the door and ski directly to the lifts, then ski right back for lunch or an afternoon break.

When is Bluebird Day available to rent?
We rent select dates during two windows each season: the Christmas/New Year's holiday week and Maine's February school vacation week — the two highest-demand stretches at Saddleback.

How far is the chalet from the Saddleback base lodge and lifts?
It's trailside, just below the base lodge — close enough to ski to the lifts each morning and return for lunch without driving or shuttling.

How many people does Bluebird Day sleep?
The chalet has 3 bedrooms and 1¾ baths and sleeps 6 — a queen in the first-floor master suite and two more queens upstairs.

Is Bluebird Day good for a holiday-week family ski trip?
Yes — the slopeside location, full kitchen, radiant heat, and mudroom for ski gear are built for exactly that: no driving to get on the ski trail, easy mornings, and a comfortable base for a Christmas, New Years or February vacation week stay.
