Knowing I had another 11+ mile hike to complete in the area, I knew exactly where I wanted to stay…read morewhen the opportunity arose. Motel was booked solid so I went with a campsite this time around and I am so glad I did. Check-in was again a breeze and the staff are just so nice. Having inquired as to my activities in the area, they remembered the details and brought in up in conversation whenever we ran into each other. A nice personal touch. I stayed at campsite #9 "Double Decker" and it was the perfect size for my medium sized tent and large SUV. It came with a fire pit and picnic table. When you first round the bend, the campsites seem squeezed in there but the site itself felt pretty private once I settled in and I was not bothered by the full campground surrounding me. Quiet hours by 10pm made getting rest for my weekend activities easy peasy. As a solo camper, I felt very safe here. The nearby lounge area had a television, kitchen w. oven, range, refrigerator, and freezer, television, electrical outlets, games and more. Toilets and coin-operated showers were on the backside of this building. I don't mind pay showers but wished I got a little bit more time for my first four quarters as I was scrambling to put more in as I rushed through each visit. Bring plenty with you if you like to take your time. Firewood available for purchase (delivered to your campsite!) along with some other staples. Would absolutely stay here again. And again. And again.

Great Prices...great rooms!!!…read more We got engaged here!!! Came up for Vaca and stayed over night here until my fiance's family camp renters checked out so we could spend the week there! First impression was great!! Cozy good sized rooms for great prices!! Full kitchen in our room! Bathroom was nice and we had two queen beds!! TV and cable and a beautiful deck. Close to Sugarloaf! Place was so adorable and comfy that my fiance proposed to me here!! Made it even more special. The family that owns it are very sweet and were happy we stayed and congratulated us! :) Can't wait to stay here on our anniversary! :)

Whenever we left we were told to have a good day, or see you later, or have fun. Whenever we came back, we were greeted and asked how our day was. When away on business, it feels so nice to know someone truly cares about your day. Spencer was also extremely helpful. I forgot my ski pants at home and he tried to help find me a pair. When he had exhausted all options, he ended up sending me to a place where I was able to buy last seasons ski pants for less than half of the original price! All of the staff were great, but these two stuck out to me. Thank you for making me feel at home!

However, this charming spot is perfect for a quiet, romantic get away and offers the charm of an artisan town of locals. There is one room with large, buffalo check flannel bedding and was so apres ski chic it made the basic bitch within just explode. A few friends and I had dinner here and the food/drinks did not disappoint. They took a risk in making the dining room/bar as modern as it is for such a rural Western Maine town, but I think as more people visit it will be appreciate by tourists and locals alike. Again, a great diversion from what we have come to expect from hotels and restaurants in this area. It has more of a boutique feel than an old inn feel. The owner is also incredibly generous: they are more than willing to donate overnight packages to local charity auctions.

Must be a Maine thing, super nice. First, I thought I would be staying at an old hotel since it is in a small town but I was wrong. The room was big, clean and had a modern touch. My bed was super comfy. Their breakfast was great too. They served fruit, cereal, pastries, oatmeal, waffle bar, fruit juice and sausages. A big plus for them for having almond milk in stock. I am lactose intolerant so it was helpful. Their parking spot is big but if it gets packed you can always park at Dunkin Donut. I highly recommend this place in Waterville.

The Herbert Grand is a gem of a time capsule, the kind of place that's getting harder to find. Full…read moredisclosure: if you're looking for a thoroughly modern hotel, it's probably not for you. The hotel is almost 100 years old and, like any old building, shows its age in places. That said, it's incredible how many original features survive, including some furniture in the rooms (not the mattresses, don't worry) and the 1920's phones in their original booths off the lobby. The rooms and bathrooms are clean and perfectly adequate. The place just went through a full renovation, and the linens and towels feel new. If you're not so tired from skiing/riding/hiking that you don't immediately fall asleep, you're probably not doing it right anyway. Wifi is easy to access and free. I downloaded several Spotify playlists for the ride home with no problems. I didn't eat or drink there, but the hotel has a nice dining room, and the lobby becomes a friendly bar in the evening with skiers talking about their day and watching the Pats. Apparently they have a great list of local Maine liquor and beer too. Dawn, the owner's son and de facto manager, couldn't have been more helpful. I sprained my knee pretty badly on my second day. When she saw me hobbling through her lobby she quickly got me some ice and let me put my boots up on the coffee table by the beautiful old fireplace. She was made manager in an emergency appointment seven years ago and hasn't left! Finally, the place has an awesome history. During Prohibition it housed a speakeasy in the basement where the original owner would ply state leaders with booze and women only to later blackmail them to further his career. Rumor has it that his ghost haunts the place today. Watch out on the third floor.

What a gem - positively magical place!! I came to the lakes region in search of Moose and Loons so…read moreI made sure to book a room in the Haley Pond Lodge section to be right on the water. And while I still haven't found any moose, I saw my first loons in real life right behind my room AND managed to capture their haunting song on video right from my patio!! This beautiful inn has been around for over 100 years - and the inside of the main lodge is full of antiques and is oozing with Victorian charm - so warm and inviting!! All the staff were just fantastic- caring and eager to help and so friendly - in the lodge and the tavern both. I reserved a water view king room in the Haley Pond Lodge and it was huge!! Lots of shelf space and a huge patio overlooking the pond - just magnificent! The room had a standard coffee maker, microwave and fridge. The bathroom was beautiful and everything was spotlessly clean. Water pressure and temp worked perfectly. The grounds are the best part - there are mallard ducks all over the place. I saw two deer right outside my room when I first arrived. One night I heard a moose bugling (mating call) and it was so loud haha! Shame I never saw him lol. There are tons of species of waterfowl on the pond - I saw Ring-necked Ducks and Mergansers!! And the best part was I saw LOONS!! At first, I found a mated pair right out back from my room - and they were fishing - it was so fantastic! And I saw more out across the pond bathing and preening. The mornings were super foggy which created such an eerie ambiance and the loons were crying their haunting song - oh it was just magical! Breakfast isn't included but is served daily. I didn't try it so can't speak to it but I did have dinner in the tavern one night and it was fabulous. I got the Parmesan crab dip and a tavern salad with grilled salmon - all totally delicious. I visited in late September so the fall foliage was just starting to come in - I can only imagine how gorgeous it is during peak foliage. This is a marvelous place to base yourself out of for wildlife chasing, skiing, summer fun on the lakes - for really any kind of vacation honestly. Haley Pond Lodge is detached from the main inn and set quite a ways back - but the grounds are easily walkable. There's plenty of parking and it's very centrally located in the adorable town of Rangeley. I even walked over to the huge Rangeley Lake a few times bc it's so close - it's especially wonderful at sunset. Prices for food and lodging are reasonable, even during peak seasons. All in all I had a great experience and will most definitely be back - without a doubt!

Breakfast was frustrating. They gave you a tiny bit of syrup for a large, thick stack of pancakes and charged $3 for extra syrup. Something so small and seemingly insignificant, but just weird. Waitress got defensive when I only ate half because I ran out of syrup and said she doesn't make the rules. I told her no big deal I just couldn't eat them. I didn't ask for a refund or anything, I just left them uneaten and it seemed to really bother her. You have to go outside and around the building to access the elevator, which wasn't an issue for us since it's October, but if it was winter and there was snow on the ground that would be a pain. Shower water was only lukewarm (the worst is not having a hot shower after a long drive).
