Guide to Sugarloaf, Kingfield, and Stratton Maine Hotels, Resorts, and Lodging

Stratton, Eustis and Kingfield, Maine Hotel, Inn, and Camps

Any skier worth their edges knows Sugarloaf for its legendary skiing, New England’s biggest ski resort, the East’s only snowfields, and a long ski and snowboard season from November to May. The views of the Bigelow Mountain range are phenomenal, so are the brilliant white birch trees throughout the Carrabassett Valley.

Sugarloaf Ski Resort and Area Lodging

Sugarloaf Resort is lovely in summer for golfing, hiking and mountain biking. Sugarloaf Resort has many lodging options from the on mountain Sugarloaf Mountain Hotel, to ski in ski out condos, and private mountain homes for rent. Downtown Kingfield 16 miles away from The Loaf is a classic old Maine town, with restuarants, bars, a few shops, hotels and inns in town, along Route 27 – the Mountain Access Road. 

Stratton and Eustis are other skiers’ and snowmobilers’ towns, 10 miles in the other direction from Sugarloaf, humble but affordable for house rentals, motels and cabins. Summer here is all about water sports and fishing on beautiful Flagstaff Lake.
