The house is beautiful. There isn’t one thing you could think of that the house didn’t have for you if needed. From chargers to cooking supplies. My kids enjoyed the board games, legos and the outdoor fire place.

The Wheelhouse was even better than expected. We spent the 4th of July weekend and enjoyed every moment. Days were spent hiking (many local trails), afternoons spent by the river, and evenings were spent on the screened-in porch. We cooked on the grill every night. The owners truly thought of everything to make the cabin feel like home. Our 6 year old was thrilled to see that there were Legos and coloring books for her to keep busy. We will definitely be back!

We spent a great long ski weekend at the Wheelhouse and loved it. The house is immaculate, appropriately rustic, and light and airy with a beautiful view out the large windows of the surrounding trees. The location is convenient for skiing at Sugarloaf. We also enjoyed snow shoeing and hiking on the trails directly behind the house. We will definitely be back!

Okay, we do not mountain bike and this is not our typical type of vacation, but the reviews here were so good, we had to check it out. We were not disappointed. This place is fabulous! It is clear that Scott has put a lot of thought and care into making this place so accommodating. First, we loved the screen porch and the sound of the river permeating throughout the house. We loved the outdoor shower. We loved going down to the river after a long day of hiking. We loved cooking outside by the fireplace. We loved kayaking on Flagstaff lake. We cooked all our dinners at the house and ate breakfasts there as well. Lunches were packed for days of adventure out and about. The house had everything we could possibly need, including kitchen supplies, TP, paper goods, towels, and even parchment paper for baking. Some rentals lack these items, but not this place. There are numerous trails to walk/hike. We enjoyed (easiest to more difficult) the Narrow Gauge walkway (near the house), the Poplar Stream Falls Trail, the Burnt Mountain Trail, and the Range Trail to Cranberry Peak. We also brought our dog and felt very comfortable having him there. He stayed on the main floor. The upstairs MBR was terrific. Bed was very comfortable! We didn't use the master bath shower since the detached outdoor shower in the woods overlooking the river was a real treat. We cooked outside on several occasions and loved that as well. Kayaking on Flagstaff Lake is not to be missed -- a drop off point is about 14 minutes away from the house. My wife and I brought our computers so we could work, but we never turned them on...a real vacation. I am glad that I brought an adapter that connected an HDMI cable from the TV (already supplied) to my lightning connection on my i-phone. This was helpful streaming shows from my phone to the TV on occasion. Our 23 year-old son joined us for a few days of hiking and kayaking and he too was impressed (not an easy feat to accomplish) by the house and its location. My wife has already asked whether we should make a reservation for next year so perhaps I should be trashing this place instead. Speaking of trash, you do have to take the trash to the transfer station (dump), but that is not Scott's fault. We really enjoyed our time here. Thank you Scott for sharing your home!

What a treat to vacation in this house! My family of four including two young adult children and pup had a wonderful week. The extensive bike trails for every ability are only a few minutes ride from the house, and after a long ride or hike we cooled off down at the river pools on the inner tubes or hammocks thoughtfully provided by the host. Sugarloaf area was a bit quieter than we expected due to the good outdoor facilities nearby, but some excellent restaurants nearby meant I didn’t have to cook much - it’s vacation! Best part was the beautiful, airy, modern home. The large screened in porch was our favorite hangout for any time we weren’t on the bike or the water. You can hear the musical sound of the running river all through the house but it was particularly delightful on the porch. The master bedroom has many windows and no shades that we saw. Fortunately we have the same set up at home by choice so this so was perfect for us but may not work for everyone. But don’t pass on this house for that reason- just bring a sleep mask. River sounds, fresh air and exercise will ensure a good nights sleep We loved our magical time here and will definitely return, hopefully soon! ,

Scott's house was perfect for our two-family get together. Our nephew and his family of two young children slept on the ground level while my husband and I slept on the third floor away from the morning noise of children. The crowning glory of the second floor/public space was the screened-in porch overlooking the river, which was a constant treat for our eyes and ears. The location of the house is also amazing. In addition to it's frontage on the Carrabasset River, it's located on a private road off of route 27, so it is shielded from road noise. Plus it's a short (.3 mile) ride from an entrance to extensive bike trails along the river. We road directly from the house every day. Though the house is immaculately maintained (and Scott uses dehumidifiers to address this), people with sensivity to mustiness should plan to sleep upstairs rather than on the ground level. Other than that, everyone will find the Wheelhouse to be a haven...

The house and property where awesome the river and outside fire pit again awesome just what I needed to relax and decompress we went to many lakes waterfalls and trails. Again a great trip we enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to go back. The colors of the trees were electric we timed it perfectly.

This place was terrific. Location is unbeatable, especially if you’re going there to ride. We went in late August and the river was still high enough for swimming. Property is very well taken care of and well appointed. There wasn’t anything we needed that wasn’t at the tips of our fingers. Communication with the hosts was always prompt and easy. Highly recommend!

This was our second stay at the Wheelhouse over the past year. We simply love this property and its location. The house itself has a modern contemporary feel while fitting very nicely into the rustic surroundings. There is not much to want while you are here. The outdoor fireplace was our go-to spot every evening for star gazing. Being late August, it got down into the low 50’s each night so the fire was a must have. The river on the property is one of our favorite ways to spend the days chilling. The tree hammocks on the river & the sounds of the running water could put the most stressed-out person to sleep in no time. The water was the perfect temperature to take a dip and cool off. Don’t forget to take advantage of the outdoor shower. We love it so much we’ve yet to use the indoor shower at all during our stays. The house itself had everything we needed for an outstanding stay. There was not an item we needed, in fact, it's stocked better than our own home! If you Mt Bike you can’t go wrong staying at this property. There is simple and easy access to some of the best big mountain riding I’ve experienced this side of Moab. The trails are all well marked supporting abilities from beginner to expert. The property has a bike cleaning and repair station on site. You can be on the trails in less than 5 minutes right off the front step. Scott is the consummate host. He was super communicative about the property and its amenities and special features. He is clearly vested in making sure you have a wonderful stay. Scott responded immediately to any texts we sent and provided us with some great tips about the area. Take his advice and open the windows and doors the minute you arrive and let the river sounds take over. We can’t wait to go back!

What a cool house with a great location to Sugarloaf mountain. Myself and 2 friends stayed there the first week of March for a ski trip to Sugarloaf. The house really impressed us and was even better in person than what the pictures show. The interior is well appointed, yet gives that warm and welcoming feeling you want from a mountain home. The location is beautiful and quiet, yet only minutes from all the action at Sugarloaf. A shuttle to the mountain is available very close to the house, but we found it just as easy to drive. Less than 5 minutes and we were at the mountain ready to ski. Scott is a great host who is very responsive and easy to work with. I would absolutely stay at this house again!

Very cool spot!
