About this house rental
Premier Sugarloaf area home located in the heart of the Carrabassett Valley trail network, the ultimate sweet spot in the center of all the area has to offer.This open concept home filled with natural light sits just 50 feet above the river. This home boasts unique living areas both inside and out. Sit back by the wood stove as a wall of windows paints a picture of the river below, enjoy coffee or dinner on the screened in porch, take a snooze in the hammock down by the river, gather around the fire pit, catch a few shooting stars from an authentic stone recliner or entertain guests in the unique outdoor kitchen complete with stone fireplace. You are guaranteed to find your happy place here!!!
Mountain bikers will appreciate the 3 ways to access the trails. Walk across the river when the water is low to Mead trail 205; take a ride 100 yards down 27 to the old town road connecting the the outdoor center; or ride up 27 just 1/2 mile to Campbell field. This clean, contemporary getaway is like living in a luxurious tree house. Extremely convenient to the mountain, located only 1.5 miles south the Sugarloaf access road, in between OMG corner and the Campbell Field. The home sits on a perch overlooking the rocky, flowing Carrabassett River on a quiet dead end road. Bike, hike and relax in the mountains of Maine.
Massive gorgeous windows and a wrap-around screened-in porch let you enjoy the bright birch & pine trees year round. The home's floor to ceiling windows bring in tremendous seasonal sunshine and a nice cross breeze comes off the river courtesy of the Bigelow Mountain Range. Enjoy tremendous sunshine and warmth during any season. Open the windows and let the music of the river put you to sleep. No need for an alarm clock; you will wake to the river's voice, and enjoy your morning coffee sitting back by the river in your own stone recliner. There is a perfect swimming spot for post ride relaxation at the bottom of the trail; no need to get in your car!
Mountain bike info: There is an adequate, secure storage area under the porch for bikes, paddle boards, canoes, etc.

The Host was great with communicating. Loved the wood stove. It was great being next to the river and the trails for hiking or cross country skiing! We would highly recommend this place!

Very nice place right on the river. The kitchen and bathroom had everything we needed, the bedroom spaces were more than ideal, outdoor space was amazing and the stereo+CD collection an A+. Our family had a really good stay, will definitely come back!

Okay, we do not mountain bike and this is not our typical type of vacation, but the reviews here were so good, we had to check it out. We were not disappointed. This place is fabulous! It is clear that Scott has put a lot of thought and care into making this place so accommodating. First, we loved the screen porch and the sound of the river permeating throughout the house. We loved the outdoor shower. We loved going down to the river after a long day of hiking. We loved cooking outside by the fireplace. We loved kayaking on Flagstaff lake. We cooked all our dinners at the house and ate breakfasts there as well. Lunches were packed for days of adventure out and about. The house had everything we could possibly need, including kitchen supplies, TP, paper goods, towels, and even parchment paper for baking. Some rentals lack these items, but not this place. There are numerous trails to walk/hike. We enjoyed (easiest to more difficult) the Narrow Gauge walkway (near the house), the Poplar Stream Falls Trail, the Burnt Mountain Trail, and the Range Trail to Cranberry Peak. We also brought our dog and felt very comfortable having him there. He stayed on the main floor. The upstairs MBR was terrific. Bed was very comfortable! We didn't use the master bath shower since the detached outdoor shower in the woods overlooking the river was a real treat. We cooked outside on several occasions and loved that as well. Kayaking on Flagstaff Lake is not to be missed -- a drop off point is about 14 minutes away from the house. My wife and I brought our computers so we could work, but we never turned them on...a real vacation. I am glad that I brought an adapter that connected an HDMI cable from the TV (already supplied) to my lightning connection on my i-phone. This was helpful streaming shows from my phone to the TV on occasion. Our 23 year-old son joined us for a few days of hiking and kayaking and he too was impressed (not an easy feat to accomplish) by the house and its location. My wife has already asked whether we should make a reservation for next year so perhaps I should be trashing this place instead. Speaking of trash, you do have to take the trash to the transfer station (dump), but that is not Scott's fault. We really enjoyed our time here. Thank you Scott for sharing your home!
