Birchwood Penthouse
Great stay. Would have liked all screens to be in all windows, the downstairs shower / tub fills up with backwater while showing, could have used two more fans and a sign marking the name of the road. Otherwise, we loved it and look forward to visiting again.

Summer Golf Weekend
We rented this condo for our son's 30th 'golf' birthday weekend with his uncles and cousin. There was no negatives about the owner and the condo - PERFECT! A great time had by all at this condo, the Sugarloaf Golf Course, The Rack, The Bag & Kettle and 45 North. We do advise if you go in the summer to bring fans as the weekend was hot and humid even for Maine. Thank you Chris and Lauren!!

Family ski trip
Lifts are a short walk or can be reached by a shuttle that ran every 30 minutes. We could see the slopes from the unit, which was fun. The unit was snug and the kitchen was highly functional. Good group seating area in the living room space.

Cozy condo
The condo is located in a great location. It has a ski locker on the main entrance so you don't have to take your skis up steps. Plenty of hooks to hang up your snow gear. The kitchen is fully stocked! The family room area is cozy with a wonderful view of the ski mountain. Minutes from everything. I hope to go back in the future. Christopher was a great communicator!!

Our group of 8 had a great time. Plenty of hiking trails around. The coast is about a 2 1/2 to 3 hour drive. The outdoor center near is a little outrageous on their prices for pool/ hot tub usages. All in all a great stay during nonpeak times.

Very pleasant stay in Sugarloaf
Our family consisted of four adults and two children ages 8 and 10. We spent 2 nights in this lovely condo and had a wonderful stay. The owner communicated right away when I had a question about the parking pass. Overall the condo was very nice. It's a little dated, but we could tell the owners have partially renovated it. This did not detract from the comfort though! The only problem with the layout is that both adult rooms share a bathroom while the kids' bunk room had its own facilities. In order for my sister and her husband not to feel awkward sharing a bathroom with us, they had to trek up two flights of stairs to use the bathroom with their kids. This wasn't a huge deal but might have gotten old with a longer stay. The downstairs bathroom needed a quick spritzer before we used the shower, and I dug around for two light bulbs for the upstairs bathroom which needed replacing. Otherwise everything was spot on. One of the other condo owners had rented their unit to what seemed like a college fraternity who were having a party the night we arrived. We could hear them well into the night which was a little aggravating. Obviously this was out of the control of the owners of this condo. Otherwise there didn't seem to be anyone staying in the other units. The college guys left the next day so it was quiet our second night. We could walk through the tall grass up a short hill behind the condo to one of the Sugarloaf parking areas from which it was a short walk to the base area. Sadly there were hardly any people at the resort, and the scenic lift rides were not operational. We hiked up one of the ski runs and had lunch at a small tavern at the base. Our stay was very enjoyable. Thank you to the owners for allowing us to share your home even if briefly!

Convenient location but disappointing experience
We arrived at the condo to find it very dirty. There were fruit loops on the floor, tissues or napkins under the coach, the kitchen floor was sticky and the downstairs bathroom was gross. There was also a lot of food and alcohol from a previous guest left behind. Two points of caution for future guests. 1. There is no air conditioning. It was stifling hot even with the windows open. 2. Make sure to buy the insurance. We were grateful we did. The owner made a claim for insurance claiming an alleged stain on the couch (we have lots of pictures with no evidence of a stain) and a broken coffee table. We actually felt like we left the condo in better condition than we found it! Fortunately, the we had the insurance in place! Despite our disappointment, we had a great weekend. The location is perfect for recreation in all seasons !

Love this place!
I’ve been renting at Sugarloaf for nearly 20 years and the Birchwood condos are consistently my favorite, and this top-floor unit is top-notch. Perfect on-mountain location, tons of timber frame charm, and plenty of open living space. Owners were easy to deal with and check in/check out was seamless. I’ll be back.

Why they chose this property

If you are looking for cookie cutter condo this is NOT the unit for you! This 3 bed, 2 bath Birchwood penthouse glows in the warmth of original post and beam construction. It has all the "easy button" qualities of a condo but the true feel of a ski lodge. Knotty pine, exposed beams, open air loft, bunk room and a beautiful 2021 Jotul GF 400 Sebago gas stove make this unit one of a kind.

What makes this property unique

Vaulted ceilings, post and beam construction, close proximity to the Sugarloaf Village and Snubber trail, Jotul gas stove, unobstructed Sugarloaf Mountain and Bigelow Range views
