The best value in the east
Submitted: March 23, 2012

I arranged a trip to Sunday River for a group of my old high-school and business school friends, and we decided to stay at the river ridge lodge after shopping extensively throughout the New England Mega resort options.
We were absolutely thrilled with the house. Given that the price was extremely competitive for a house that sleeps 16, we were a bit concerned that there was a catch or something, but the house was absolutely fantastic. We ended up with 11 people and were extremely comfortable, and easily could have had a few more join us without feeling cramped. Not only is the house new, and very nice, but it also has tons of fun extras like a retro arcade system, pool table, nice and clean hot tub, etc.
As a side note, while the house is extremely nice, if you're a skier going in winter, you'll probably rarely ever be there, because Sunday River is such a fantastic mountain. I grew up about a half hour from Killington and have skied everywhere in the east coast. Sunday River's diversity and quality of terrain is absolutely the best, and can really only be rivaled by Jay Peak and Sugarloaf. The lines are short, the cruisers are wide and the double-blacks are legit double-blacks.
