Here at Backyard ADUs we are doing a really cool project in Carrabassett Valley, Maine. It’s our first ski/vacation cabin project and it’s located just below the access road to Sugarloaf Ski and Summer Resort.
At the time of this writing we’re currently in the process of evaluating two very small pieces of land that each have one existing cabin on them, right on Carrabassett stream.

This is a really great opportunity to pick up two very small pieces of land, both very close to Sugarloaf, where you can walk right onto a pathway for mountain biking, skiing, walking and hiking up the mountains. We'll install decks right out on the Carrabassett stream, which is going to be very neat.

We are seeking planning board approval to replace each existing structure with one of our BADU homes. We are going to try to recycle the old structures and move them to a different location so they can continue to be used. We'll be putting in two new, small, super well-insulated, 450 square foot cabins with sleeping lofts. We're hoping they’ll be ready for the 2021-2022 ski season. We expect to start construction this April or May. For 2021, the old structures will be somewhat usable, but will probably stay vacant until they can be renovated.

We are so excited about this project! If you've ever thought about trying to put a cabin up in the woods or on a lake then stay tuned to see more about what we're doing up here in Carrabassett Valley in beautiful Maine.
