We spent a night here in early August. The room was reserved on fairly short notice, but was still very cheap.
Before I reserved the room, we were planning on sleeping in my car, so the price would've been enough to make me happy. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the place. The room was very nice and quite large for the price. The grounds were very quiet and the bed was comfy, so I got a great night of sleep (much better than I would've in my car).
The owner was extremely nice. I was staying there so that I'd be close to my old summer camp for our ten-year alumni reunion, and when I told him that, he started telling me stories about being around for the construction of the camp. Furthermore, he invited us to come down to the shore that evening for marshmallows, and to come rowing on the shore the next morning. We couldn't do either (they conflicted with the camp reunion), but I really appreciated the hospitality.
Two minor downsides. First of all, the place advertised free wi-fi, but we had no signal in our room. Ours was the furthest from their office, so it's possible that we were just out of range, but it would've been nice to know in advance. Also, only one of the electrical outlets was grounded, and it was the one furthest from the beds, so I couldn't charge my computer while using it in bed. These were both insignificant to me, since I wouldn't have had either luxury if I'd slept in my car, but they're something to be aware of if you're staying here while on vacation. I would've given the place five stars if it weren't for these two things.
Overall, I really liked this place. I'll definitely look for it again on my next pilgrimage to Bridgton. read more
