Parsonsfield
is a town of about 1,500 residents located in the southwestern corner of the state approximately 50 minutes to the city of Portland. This is York County, known for its' breathtaking mountains and forest - and for its' wintertime skiing. Parsonsfield is just eleven miles to Sugarloaf in the Carrabassett Valley, one of the East Coast's most popular ski resorts. Sugarloaf has more than 45 miles of trails, and a vertical drop of 2,820 feet, which is the tallest of any other New England ski peak except for Killington in Vermont. Snowmobiling, snowboarding, sledding and ice skating are also available at Sugarloaf, and in the summertime, the resort area offers hiking, biking, golf and fishing. Parsonsfield is an easy day trip to the coastal towns of Kennebuck and Kennebuckport and the famous "Coney Island style" amusement park at Old Orchard Beach. Antique shops abound in the area, as well as some of the best seafood restaurants in Maine. The nearby village of Cornish has several good restaurants, as well as quaint shops on their village square. Parsonsfield has the advantage of being within close proximity to both the mountains and the sea, making it a very good place to base a southwestern Maine vacation.
