Sugarloaf Resort activities and amenities

Located on a mountain named, appropriately,Sugarloaf Mountain, it has a grand history.  In 1951 the first trail was cut by a group known as a The Bigelow Boys.  It is today a premier ski area of the Northeast United States, second in elevation to the highest mountain inMaine,Mount Katahdin.

Sugarloaf is home to six on-mountain restaurants, including: The Double Diamond Steakhouse (Sugarloaf Hotel), The Shipyard Brewhaus (Sugarloaf Inn), The Rack (Access Road), Gepetto’s (Village West), The Bag & Kettle (Village East), and the Widowmaker Lounge (Base Lodge), which also includes a bar and nightclub.

The Sports andFitnessCenter, located on Mountain Side Road, includes an indoor pool, hot tubs (indoors and out), a weight room, racquetball courts, and a full spa. There is also a hairstylst located upstairs in the center.  Sugarloaf has a some excellent shops located betweenVillageCenter, Village West, Village South, and the Sugarloaf Hotel. They ofter everything from skis and snowboards, to apparel and jewellery, along with photography supplies and gifts. There are also many shops and outlets located in the nearby towns of Stratton and Kingfield.

SinceMainehas such a long history and is known as a holiday destination, the vacation rental homes range from centuries-old colonial houses to brand-new mountainside ski condos. You can rent small hunting cabins deep in the northern woods or quaint Cape-Cod style cottages overlooking the ocean.

Renting a vacation home allows for a more unique vacation than if you stay in other types of lodging. Many vacation homes have been owned by the same family for years and they have taken good care to provide for their own comfort and yours. You can often get a sense of the continuity of the home when you read the guestbook that has comments left from previous renters, some of whom return to the same vacation homes season after season.

The variety ofMainevacation homes allows you to find something to fit your budget. If you are planning a getaway, but things are a little tight financially, you can rent a cottage that’s near the ocean rather than on the ocean. Even though you can’t see the waves crashing on the ruggedMainecoastline, you’ll be able to feel the sea breezes and smell the salty air.

And if you are looking to rent something larger, a vacation home is still a great value. Say you are planning a large family reunion. You might considerMaineestates for vacation rentals. These can accommodate multiple families under one roof (or sometimes more). It will prove much more affordable to cook meals at the vacation home for a large group than to eat at a restaurant everyday.

Consider the inclusions

Many vacation homes are stocked with amenities to cover every event. Maybe your hike was rained out and you’re looking for some kind of indoor entertainment. ManyMainevacation rentals keep board games, video games, books, and TVs with cable or DVDs on hand. Having a washer and dryer on the premises is an added benefit, especially if you packed lightly or have adventurous members of the family who tend to get muddy when they’re hiking around or building sandcastles at the beach.

Maine’s geography lends to the variety of the vacation home stock. With ski mountains such as Sugarloaf and Sunday River, you will find condos and chalets on and around the ski areas. Farther north where things get more rural, you will find hunting lodges and lakeside cabins that are perfectly suited to the weather and the outdoor activities that can be enjoyed there. On the coast you can find restored mansions in Bar Harbor or Kennebunkport, cottages on the Penobscot Bay or on theSouthCoast, old sea captains’ houses, or brand-new vacation homes.
