They clearly enjoy getting to know their guests and even making appropriate adjustments to their needs. We spent much of the evening sitting on the back porch watching the sun set over the Saint John River. We took lots of photographs! Our room downstairs was private and quiet. Since we were visiting in the summer, it was actually nice not to be awakened by the rising sun at 5am! We slept very well on the comfortable bed. Breakfast was also plentiful and awesome (and made to order). Bruce can cook up great eggs.

Where do I begin?! Amazing place. 5 stars is simply not enough. Stay here; it will be the nicest…read moreplace you ever stayed. (That's my short version.) While I was in Maine, I wanted to travel to the northern portion along the Canadian border. Hotels are few and far between where I was looking to go, so I found this Inn on TA (all excellent reviews). The price was AMAZING (only $85.23 for Oct. 11, 2013), so I made my reservation. When I arrived, I was in love. It is a beautiful, 100-year-old home that is filled with so much charm and warmth. It had these gorgeous hardwood floors and was decorated with cool antiques like old phonographs and, of course, old irons. You look around at all these beautiful things as if you were in a museum. The house is very welcoming - like your own home would be, only better! The Innkeepers, Kate and Kevin, are exactly what you would expect of people who live in Maine; they were nice, and friendly, and beautiful, and were very interesting to talk to. When I was led upstairs to my room, I could not believe my eyes (right away, I realized I had made a mistake in only staying for one night). I wanted to live there forever. My room had a big, queen bed, and there was a twin bed on the other side of the room. There was a private bathroom (all the rooms have private bathrooms for spoiled Americans such as myself). The bathroom was very spacious with wonderful, fluffy towels and a nice shower (no tub, just shower).The room was beautifully decorated with more antiques. I loved everything from the furniture, to the glass doorknobs to the windows! When I crawled into that bed at night, I could have sworn that those delicious sheets had been ironed; I have never experienced such comfortable bedding! My room and bathroom were immaculately clean, as was the rest of the Inn. On the second floor (where all the rooms were) there was a little sitting area with a frig and books and other things you might find yourself needing. It's a nice little area to just go in and curl up with a book. The next morning I woke up to the aroma of the most amazing breakfast. There were other guests there too, and everybody sat at a big table and talked and enjoyed this marvelous breakfast that had been prepared for us by Kate. She uses real china, and real coffee cups! There were muffins, any kind of cereal, wonderful scrambled eggs, toast with jam, coffee, a big variety of teas, etc. - you definitely do not come away hungry. It was such a lovely experience. I live in a very fast-paced city where it is hard to find nice people There's too much traffic, too many people, too much trash, too much of everything. When I visit a town like Caribou and meet people from other walks of life, I am enchanted. Visiting this wonderful town, and staying in this Inn makes me want to move to Caribou and live like they do; it made me see life from a different perspective. Unfortunately, my time was up and I had to leave. If I ever find myself in the northern-most area of Maine again, I will most definitely stay here again; but, next time, I will stay much longer - if they will have me. I loved the innkeepers and their beautiful, warm home. Can you tell I loved it?! p.s. There is good free wi-fi and plenty of free parking. No TVs in the rooms, but you won't want one.

I don't know if there are more spectacular views from any bedroom in the whole state of Maine. But…read morelying in bed looking through an enormous picture window out at South Twin Lake and Katahdin in all her glory? Absolutely breathtaking. As was the sunset: reds and pinks and oranges and golds. We couldn't have asked for a lovelier way to finish a day of hiking in Baxter. The property at 5 Lakes Lodge is beautiful; from the expansive green lawn to the tiny private beach, there are plenty of places to sit and watch the loons. The rooms themselves have been meticulously loved and maintained by the owners. It feels like staying in a (fancy) log cabin, only with a spa-like bathroom! Did I mention the views of Katahdin? Just wow. The only hiccup for us was with the hospitality itself. Unlike others' experiences, we felt that owner Rick was gruff with us. It took several back and forths just to reserve the room itself, after that we never received any confirmation email, and when we asked about whether he and his wife were vaccinated/what their masking policy was (considering Millinocket was considered a highly transmissible area at the time) he was quite brusque. Also, while the check-in policy said anytime between 3pm and 9pm, at 5:30pm we received a phone call sternly asking why we weren't there yet. Then, when we declined breakfast in the morning to sit by the water in the sunshine with our coffees, he was outright annoyed with us ("what do you mean you don't want breakfast?!"). Deb, on the other hand, was very friendly and a joy to speak with, but she also seemed quite surprised that we would want to be outside instead of their incredibly hot, closed-up kitchen (where the TV was on, news blaring) on such a beautiful summer morning. I believe these current owners tried to sell before the pandemic and didn't, so maybe we just met them at the wrong time of their BnB owning journey.

The bed was great, the in-room bath great- we just struggled with the owners. The man and woman here make great food and definitely maintain a beautiful property- however I felt reprimanded in every step I took. We had just hiked Katahdin and the car was full of crap, so around 9PM we went out and grabbed some stuff. The male owner came out and asked us what we were doing. Very aggressively. Just grabbing clothes man! We were being quiet and respectful, it was quite alarming. We got breakfast in their B&B kitchen before heading out, and again, the man owner was very cruel. At first I thought he was kidding around, but nope, he is just that mean. Also bad was asking privately the woman owner for an extra roll of toilet paper as we were out, and she berated me for using toilet paper in front of the entire breakfast room full of people. Several times. It was humiliating. It's a view that can't be beat, and I'm really grateful I got to stay here, but I can't recommend a place that is mad at having well-behaved human beings in their place. If you're gonna charge that much for a room, let your guests feel like they can exist without being a major burden to you. Like, what? Sorry.

I reserve the 5 star rating…read more In order to get one from me you need to stand out. You need to want me thinking about returning almost as soon as I arrive. The Blair House most undoubtably deserves this rating, no question. A happen chance to find, we had to do a last minute drive from Halifax to St. Stephen and were too exhausted to make the return trip the same day. A combination of Tom Tom and Yelp said this little gem was less than 2km away from the border. No pictures, no reviews and no way of knowing what we'd find we gave a call. The owner David answered despite the lateness of the evening and said he indeed had one room available and we could come right on over. First off David may be one of the nicest people I've met in a long time. He didn't hesitate to spend a little time getting to know us even though it was well past "guest hours". At 9p at night he advised us to go out and find some food then return and take care of the paperwork...seriously who does that? The house. I won't even try to describe it. I can't do it justice. It's divine. Trust me. The room. We were given the only room on the main floor so I can't speak to the other rooms but this one was lovely. Queen size bed with super comfy bedding (the kind that makes you want to stay under covers all day). Extremely clean and stocked with those scratchy kind of towels you Canadians seem to love so much...oh the reason for the scratchiness? Yhea that's because they hang those towels out fresh on the line to dry all year round (as permissible). A lovely personal touch if you ask me. We woke up the next morning and sat down to a delicious home prepared breakfast of which David took before retiring the night previous. Didn't write a damn thing down and what do you know; everything came out just as we asked. You'll get your choice of grapefruit or fresh fruit cup (I had the fresh fruit with a dollop of greek yogurt). Then you'll either enjoy blueberry pancakes or a standard English breakfast of eggs, sausage, grilled mushroom, tomato and toast. Your meal will be topped off with coffee and a carafe of orange juice if you please. This place is the epitome of "Home sweet home". Other awesome things to know: * Tea is available 24 hrs/day * There will be a stash of cookies with said tea * This place won't break the bank (Summer rates are between $100-$120 / night) * Each room comes with a "faux" fire place * Cable TV/Wifi is provided for guest * Lots of nearby restaurants * The US/Canadian Border is less than 5 mins away.
