Nice property with convenient location to Sunday River
Nice home, very convenient to Sunday River. House is well stocked and the hot tub was a hit with our group that included 3 families and 6 children ages 5-8. There were a few minor issues that arose during our stay, but overall found the host to be responsive and helpful.

Reviewer Comments:
The rental was a wonderful stay, exactly as shown in the pictures and as advertised.
We had family and friends staying for a ski weekend and the house was perfect! 6 adults and 5 children and we had plenty of space and the house is gorgeous with the most incredible view of Sunday River! We were so close to the mountain which made the drive to and from a breeze!
The house was gorgeous and spacious. The view (from the floor to ceiling windows) of the mountains was amazing. Great kitchen, deck, and hot tub. We had 3 generations of family, and everyone had a wonderful time.
Property was wonderful. House is beautiful. So much space available. We used the house as our home base for skiing. Takes 5 minutes to be on the mountain. Kitchen is large with fully stocked. Great to come home from skiing to
We had such an incredible stay! Beautiful views and the house is clean and spacious. I would definitely recommend it for a small gathering like we had. The only bummer was the hot tub was like half broken and kinda questionable looking. But other than that, Beautiful property and views, clean, well decorated, plenty of space. Just a wonderful wonderful stay.
The house was great. 16 people stayed. We enjoyed the common space playing games and cooking and meals together. So close to Sunday River for the skiers in the group. The hot tub was a big hit. Great views of the mountain. We even watched the NYE fireworks from the house. Plenty of parking. Would definitely stay here again.

Reviewer Comments:
Mostly the experience was a good one. The house is in a great location and was a great home for a large group like ours. It could have been cleaner. No extra towels or blankets were provided and could have been used. Pool cues didn't have tips so couldn't play pool. I would only recommend this property to others if they make some changes/improvements. The property management company was stellar to work with and very responsive.
My large extended families goes away annually for a week age ranges 67-7, 13 people. This place was perfect for us! The downstairs 6 bunk bed room and bathroom was perfect for the kids! The separate living room down there was also great for them to get up and watch TV without waking everyone else up.
The kitchen/dining room was perfect to feed all of us. The views were amazing from the living room and deck.
The bedrooms were comfortable, although the mattresses and pillows could be replaced. Definitely bring fans to cool the rooms when you sleep. The mini splits kept the main house cool, but you definitely need fans in the bedroom.
The management company was wonderful with dealing with any issue that came up.
This place was close to several watering holes and hiking, perfect relaxing vacation.

We had a wonderful stay here! It was the perfect location for our ski vacation at Sunday River! Also very close to multiple restaurants & easy for going back & forth to the mountain. The kids loved the game room in the basement & the hot tub of course was a huge hit! The view was the best part...we had a perfect view of the mountain & the fireworks that Sunday River had on Saturday night. I did see a comment about the hot water/showers & I was slightly concerned knowing we had 11 people staying...but it was not an issue for us. The house was beautifully decorated & we made so many memories! Hope to be back in the future!

Excellent stay for a Sunday River ski trip. Excellent location. Wonderful home kept in perfect condition. Great service from the management company.
Fantastic Dads and sons getway! The downstairs game room was perfect for the boys and the dads had plenty of space on the main floor. The deck provided a great spot to unwind and enjoy the amazing views of Sunday River. The kitchen was fully stocked and the beds were comfy.
This house was amazing and exceeded our expectations. The kitchen was well stocked with any pots and pans we could possibly need. The living room was a great space to hang out and enjoy the amazing view. We had an amazing visit!
House was exactly as described, check in very easy and house was very well stocked with spices, housewares, cookware and entertainment. Only minor, very minor, was communication via email normally took 24 hours for a reply, but there was a number to call if we ever needed immediate help.
This ski house is also a great off-season location where we gathered three generations of our family (fifteen total) from FL, MN, and CA for a beautiful week in the mountains of Maine. The views of the slopes and the sunsets are spectacular. The living space is open with almost all glass facing to the southwest for lots of daylight. The kitchen is well-equipped, and we made good use of the grill and the deck. The bedrooms are comfortable, and the lower level with the game tables, couches, and bunk beds was tremendous for the kids. We were delighted to call this home for a week in June!

We had a group of "ladies" that were just enjoying a weekend away. King's Retreat worked great! We were able to enjoy some unexpected warm sunshine on the deck one day and there was plenty of room in the house for the other days. The whole group would highly recommend King's Retreat!

Reviewer Comments:
the property was sufficient for our extended family stay. The exhaust fans in the bathrooms and the return a/c grills were caked in dust and we had to try to clean them the best we could ourselves. Several in our family have allergies. Nobody suffered greatly but future attention would be a great idea. Clarity on the firepit in the advertisement could have been better. We were presuming a wood burning fire pit for Hot dogs and marshmallows and found a gas flame more for warmth than cooking. Overall, ok condition and experience.

Reviewer Comments:
We had a wonderful time at the mountain house! The view of the Sunday River ski slopes is absolutely stunning, and it’s only about an 8-minute drive there, which is a fantastic location for skiing. The house is very cozy, perfect for our big family. The two gas fireplaces—one inside and one outside—created a warm atmosphere. Our kids had a blast in the basement, which was great for family bonding, but the floor was quite cold. However, there were a few things worth mentioning for future guests. We noticed ants in the master bathroom. The TV remote only worked when it was plugged in the charger, which was inconvenient. The dishwasher wasn't working properly; we had to hold the tablets in place with toothpicks, and there was an unpleasant smell coming from it. The jacuzzi was a fantastic addition, but it felt a bit outdated; some buttons didn’t work properly. A major drawback was the lack of a garbage disposal in the kitchen; food would get stuck, leading to unpleasant odors and stagnant water. Overall, the mountain house is a beautiful and spacious place that just needs a few updates to enhance the guest experience. We truly enjoyed our time there and appreciate the lovely setting!

The house was very clean , but the towels smelled so bad . The biggest issue is cause the door doesn’t have lockers and the air conditioner wasn’t working, if you’re planning to go in the summer make sure that you bring a fan of something to cooler your room.

It was very nice, well kept, very clean!!
The house is absolutely beautiful and we had a wonderful vacation. The only suggestion would be to boost the water pressure throughout the house, very challenging taking multiple showers or washing dishes. There are 3 baths, so multiple showers should be expected with 13 guests. Other than that, loved the house and trip was outstanding.
