Please have Wi-Fi, but it was so weak in my room that are only work at one end, and didn't exist in the front by the TV. The room had a mini fridge and a two burner electric stove, but it was all period: late 60s at best. The fan in the bathroom made more noise than a freight train. The pull-out sofa only pulled out once, and then could never be pushed back in. Ugh. I wish they would update the place lately, as if they did I'd have no problem paying 80 or 90 a night for this location but it would have to be 1995-vintage or butter.....

My wife & I couldn't find a hotel, for a reasonable price, to lay our heads for just the night, because were the last minute, middle of the night, kind of people. We gave them a call to be sure they're open, & they answered (both times) around midnight & one in the morning, & we're greeted pleasantly, rather than hatefully like all the others we had tried. The lobby is behind the motel, in the owner's mud room of their house, you'll see a little neon "open" sign where you enter. I found it very comforting. Our room was laid out very nicely, & uniquely unoridinary, almost like a small 1 bedroom apartment. You're actually booking a small suite. The room had all the amenities one might need. They have an old A/C unit in the bedroom, that looks like an antique from the 1800s, when we turned it on, it sounded like the unit was screaming at me. I would advise that would be replaced, in the near future.. The interior is a little outdated (panel board, older yet unique appliances) but welcoming & clean regardless. The location isn't exactly ideal, but we've been to a lot worse.

In an effort to kick off the new year on a positive note my fiancé and I decided to go away for a…read morecouple of nights the first weekend of 2021. After searching for dog friendly places in the New England area for a couple of hours we finally stumbled upon Pressey House in Oakland, ME on Airbnb. Neither of us had ever heard of the town but a quiet Bed & Breakfast on a lake sounded good to us. A few nights later we made the 3 hour drive to Oakland, ME where we checked into the Granite Suite. Originally we were a little dubious because the walls of the suite are described as being the original foundation of the home from 1850 so we were afraid that it might feel like we were in a dark, damp cave but when our Host, Nikki, showed us to where we were going to be staying nothing could have been further from the truth. Although all the of the walls were either granite or brick, the front of the suite was bright with natural light thanks to the window and door and the back of the suite with the comfy, King sized bed had a cozy feel to it. There are a couple of cool little brick arches in the suite that are a unique architectural feature. The bathroom was surprisingly roomy which you don't always find at a B&B and even though there is no bathtub the shower stall had excellent water pressure and didn't feel cramped . The suite also had a pretty good size kitchenette which was really handy to have the two nights we were there. My favorite feature though was the gas fireplace. Each night my fiancé and I spent hours in front of it playing cards and relaxing. It was especially welcome since it snowed while we were there, and nothing is better than coming in from the cold and warming up in front of the fire. There is WiFi available and our signal was strong enough that we experienced no internet issues on our phones and tablets. There is a main common area that was split into two sections: The front section which has a sitting area in front of a wood burning fireplace and the back section which overlooks the lake and functions as a dining space. The quintessential New England feel of the room is warm, inviting and really makes you think of the long history of the home. Although we were the only ones having breakfast each morning in the common area because everyone else was a long term rental, Nikki made sure that she still pulled out all the stops for us. One morning we had fruit salad, cinnamon rolls, homemade frittata, and sausage and then the next day we feasted on fruit salad, pancakes and homemade corned beef hash. The first night that we arrived Nikki had left homemade cookies in our room. The following day at breakfast she got some ideas of what kind of desserts we liked and we came back from a day exploring the area to some homemade strawberry thumbprint cookies in our room (which my fiancé LOVED). So, saying that Nikki is a good cook, who will feed you well feels like an understatement. Our most favorite part of the Pressey House though was Nikki, her husband Ron and their family (pups included). They were extremely friendly, professional, accommodating in every way and it's clear that they want every guest to have an amazing experience when you stay with them. From chatting with Nikki & Ron we learned that they have just recently purchased the inn and have some big plans for it. We can say with certainty that we will be going back for another visit and we look forward to seeing any improvements that they make since it will make an already fabulous B&B even better. We're also looking forward to getting to see the gorgeous lake that Pressey House sits on during the summertime.

It is suggested that you wear wool instead of turning up the thermostat in your room. You can hear every little noise happening throughout the house at night. There was a box fan that was provided that we used to make white noise, but it was still difficult to sleep. We walked through the kitchen in the morning (where her animals are eating and hanging out) and found it to be pretty dirty. I was chastised for not filling out my breakfast form correctly. We left as soon as we could. Our entire stay was extremely uncomfortable and honestly I feel it's my duty to warn others, so I am writing this review at the risk of a rude response. It is very possible we were not the right "fit" for this kind of place, but I have stayed at other B&Bs without these kinds of issues. One positive is that they are dog-friendly, which was one of the main reasons we chose it.

This Inn was recommended to me by a friend who'd held her wedding there this past September and raved about it. I'd highly recommend this inn to anyone who is looking for a stay of any length in the area!! Pros: -Lisa, the innkeeper, is very nice and professional and always willing to help. -Breakfasts were amazing and there were many choices. -Great view out of the eating area. -Location: close to little town with shopping, gas station, ski-shop outlet, Sugarloaf, Saddleback -Our room was very comfortable: the bed, the room itself, the bathroom, pillows/blankets, etc. -Rooms are newly renovated, it seemed. -Great hot water. -Quiet and peaceful sitting area for guests. -Friendly doggies. -Helen the hen greets you in the mornings. Cons: -Doggies, while friendly, can be a little rambunctious - for those who love dogs, like us, we didn't mind a bit, but for those who might not enjoy dogs, this might be frustrating. -We got back to the Inn on Christmas Eve night (between 10pm and 10:30pm, I'd say), the door for the Inn stayers was locked...I don't think there was a curfew so I'm not sure why it was locked. We went in through another front door that was luckily unlocked. I'm not sure what we would have done without being able to get in. -The bedrooms had a slight smell of animals. It wasn't so bad, but given my fiance's severe cat allergy, this did make his nose stuffy on night #1.

Her customer service was incredible. I highly recommend you hire Fields of Green for your transportation needs and make sure you ask for Heather!
