Great location for skiing and snowmobiling

The cabin was super comfortable and had everything we needed. We skiied Sugarloaf and snowmobiled from the center of town. Easy access to gas station (important for snowmobiling) and restaurants when we didn’t want to cook.

The Sugar Shack is awesome. Easy checkin process. Hosts were easy to work with and provided clear instructions. The house is well laid out, nice woodstove and comfy TV area. Easy drive into Kingfield for dinners and about 25 minutes to Sugarloaf.

Comfortable Cabin in the Carabassett Valley

The cabin is very comfy and beautifully situated. With the Carabassett River only a mile away and surrounded by the mountains of western Maine, the scenery is beautiful and choices of easy walks to more difficult hikes are many. We would love to come back again.

Great place to stay to ski Sugarloaf

We had a great stay at the Sugar Shack. We had everything we needed and then some. It’s perfectly set up for skiers with places to dry your gear and chill by the fire. The loft was really nice to hang and watch TV. We’d come back if we are ever in the area again.

Vacation

We had a nice long weekend at the Sugar Shack. Quiet spot in the woods. The cabin was cozy and had everything we needed for a little getaway. We spent most of our days out hiking and exploring the area. Recommend for anyone looking to unplug and relax.

Perfect ski weekend

Terrific home base for skiing at Sugarloaf 20 minutes away. Cabin is off the beaten path, very quiet, yet only a couple minutes to Kingfield for groceries, gas, and restaurants. Well stocked kitchen for cooking meals with plenty of room kick back in front of the cozy wood fireplace. The loft is a great escape for kids. Highly recommended- would definitely stay again.

The information about the cabin was spot on and everything that we needed was at our fingertips. Very thoughtful, responsive and organized host.

Delightful cabin, exactly as posted

Beautiful cabin, easy to find, had all the amenities we needed for a weekend getaway. Very clean, had everything we needed for cooking and hanging out. Quiet, private space with a great very of the starry night outside. Also, the dog was very comfortable and thrilled to discover the basket of toys she could play with. Peter was responsive to every question and comment during booking. All in all I’d be happy to come back again.

Relaxing cabin in the woods

We stayed for 5 days while in town for a ski race. It was an easy 20 minute drive to Sugarloaf. The cabin was super cute and cozy and very clean. The hosts were great with providing all of the necessary information in advance and even checked up on us as we arrived to make sure we had everything we needed. The location is perfect if you want some privacy but also had amenities a short drive away such as a grocery store and market. We had no issues finding it and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The beds were comfortable and it had everything we needed for an extended stay. We would definitely recommend!
