This was our first experience skiing at Sunday River, but we do ski extensively and like to stay "slopeside" when we go. This is why we selected this particular VRBO, as it described being right off the trail. It did NOT disappoint! You cross the street, walk about 10 feet through some trees, and there you are on the Roadrunner trail. This is a simple trail, fine for beginner level skiers. This takes you to two lifts (if you look at a map, they are on the left-most part of the mountain). This place is so cozy, a true ski chalet. We had 3 adults and 4 older teens and space (and beds) to spare as there is a common area on the third level that could have easily fit a few more. The place was well-stocked also, with kitchen and bath supplies. One thing to consider so you know for your planning is that there is no on-site washer/dryer. It isn't a big deal at all as long as you plan to pack all the underwear you will need for the week. There is no dishwasher either, but that wasn't a big issue either for us. The kitchen is small, but big enough as to enable making meals for a big group. There is a wood-burning stove which made evenings very cozy, and the common area just off the kitchen is so comfy. There is Wi-Fi, so if you have to do a bit of work on your vacation you should be able to get it done. The owner was very responsive to questions and provided advice when needed. This was a great experience and I look forward to returning and staying here in the future.
