About this property

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.

Heaven on Earth!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this incredible river-side cabin, and we can't say enough about what an exceptional experience it was. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by this location's natural beauty and tranquility. The sound of the flowing Carrabassett River and the fresh mountain air instantly put us at ease. It's a paradise for nature lovers, and you can't help but fall in love with the serenity of this place. The cabin itself was a gem. Immaculately clean, well-maintained, and beautifully decorated, it felt like a home away from home. The large windows in the living area allowed for stunning views of the river and the nearby forest, and the cozy wood stove added a touch of rustic charm to the experience. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals, and the comfortable beds ensured a great night's sleep. This location is a dream come true for outdoor enthusiasts, with abundant activities to enjoy. We spent our days exploring the nearby trails and our evenings around the fire pit, making s'mores and gazing at the starry night sky. It was an experience we won't soon forget. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Their genuine hospitality made us feel like welcomed guests rather than tourists. We highly recommend this cabin to anyone seeking a tranquil and memorable getaway. We can't wait to return to this slice of paradise. Book your stay; you won't be disappointed!

Sugarloaf Trip

This property was perfect for all of us. 3 families had no issue with space and the location couldn't have been better for skiing, biking snowmobiling and relaxing.

Amazing Place to Stay!

We had such an incredible experience with this rental! Right from the start, Scott was so accommodating and made this such an effortless experience on our end. He was an excellent host and was highly communicative, making sure we felt safe and comfortable at every turn. The house itself was awesome! We stayed for 7 nights and honestly didn’t have one moment where we felt the house was lacking. Tons of space, dog friendly, and truly set up to live in with ease. We cooked every night that we were there and there wasn’t one utensil, type of cookware or appliance that the house didn’t have! Only a five minute drive from Sugarloaf, we spent our days at the mountain but our nights in front of the cozy wood stove! The house was stocked with more wood than you could possibly ever use and it was such a treat for us! The view of the river amongst the snow dusted trees made us feel like we were in a real life snow globe and it was absolutely unreal. The house also has a gorgeous screened in porch which would be perfect for drinking your coffee on outside of the winter months and I hope we have the opportunity to take advantage of it in the future! We’re already thinking about going back and we haven’t even been home for a full week yet - we cannot recommend this rental enough!
