    Beautiful Venue with Terrible Service. This is a beautiful…read morevenue managed with extreme unprofessionalism. You will pay premium rates and receive terrible treatment from the venue management. Brides need to be warned that the customer service does not match the beauty of this venue. Jenifer (venue owner) was very rude to the families of the bride and groom. She insisted upon calling a special needs child the wrong name because "that was the name written on the paper." The child understandably did not respond to a name that wasn't their own. Jennifer insisted that the Bridal and Groom parties clean up their get ready spaces before they walked down the aisle. She locks up the spaces up for the night before the ceremony and does not allow the wedding party back into the get ready spaces to freshen up or store their personal items. Jennifer did poorly in keeping the event coordinated. She contributed extreme amount of stress to the bride and groom's families throughout the event. The bride and groom were rushed out the venue before they were ready to leave, and important reception traditions were overlooked in the rush of turning the people out. The bride, standing in the driveway, exclaimed, "wait, we haven't done the speeches yet!" Jenifer was "good enough " to let the do the speeches standing in the driveway. The space was contracted by the bride and groom until 9:00 PM, but Jennifer made sure that they were out of the barn and standing in the driveway at 6:30 PM. It was APPALLING to see a couple and their loved ones treated so poorly on such an important day. I have attended two weddings at this venue (August 2020 and June 2021) and both events were strained by the demeanor of Jenifer. Brides should consider alternative options to Timber Hitch Farm. Your loved ones will be kept on pins and needles by the management and will not be able to enjoy your special day.

    We had our wedding here in early September! Such a stunning venue! The owner, Jennifer, was…read morewonderful to work with! She made sure our day ran smooth and helped with all day of coordination which was a huge relief for me! We were given plenty of time to set up and decorate the day before and day of! I love that she has all the tables and chairs included as many other venues require you to rent those separate. Jennifer also has a wide variety of decor that is available to use free of charge in addition to lawn games! Our guests loved all the lawn games and the outdoor fire pit! I would define recommend the Timber Hitch, our day was absolutely perfect!

    5 Lakes Lodge - One of the stunning sunsets

    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.

    This is a very beautiful and luxurious stay in the Katahdin area. It's right on the water- so nice…read moreto be able to swim, kayak, and relax under the majestic Katahdin. It is truly amazing. 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.
