The view of the lake is great and it is fun to watch the ducks and geese poke around the lawn (and try to make friends and feed them if you are a duck whisperer like me). There are kayaks and life jackets at your disposal at all times and I recommend a nice paddle when the lake is calm. The kitchen doesn't have every supply, but enough to get you through cooking a few meals - you may have to run to the store for a few things. They provide fire wood, which is awesome for fires when the night starts getting chilly. The beds are comfy and everything is clean enough. If you are lucky enough to know someone with a boat, they can pick you up at the dock!

Let me start off by saying that this is the only hotel in the area. The customer service was great!…read moreEveryone is friendly and knowledgeable about the town and the restaurants. The hotel is OLD. The shower was not cleaned as there were empty shampoo bottles in the shower and hair in the drain. There was one nightstand and an office chair was what we used for the other one. We have sleep apnea so we need the stands. With the shower not being clean we were nervous to sleep under the covers so we slept on top of the bed with extra blankets we asked for at the front desk. If you are out after midnight you have to open the front door of the hotel with a key they provide you ( real keys, no key cards). They have a continental breakfast in the morning. No coffee through the night. Don't expect much if you stay here.

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.

The staff even double checks to make sure everything is in good order. Little touches like extra pillows and warm duvets makes it cozy and comfortable for the entire stay. The complimentary breakfast has the best made to order ploys. Which are gluten friendly and can be nut free as well, for those with any allergies. They offer raspberry, blueberry, and apple this time around and they never disappoint! The maple syrup is local and the yogurt is from across the river in Canada. Everything is super fresh and always delicious! Highly recommend staying here any time of year, but especially great in the winter time as you can bring your snow mobile and park right out front and drive down Main Street to the trails after a hearty breakfast! Don't forget they also have a full bar and restaurant as well from 4-9 in the evening. The smoked Old Fashioned is amazing and made generously with a proper Luxardo cherry & dehydrated orange peel. They also have season drink specials that were equally tempting. For dinner, the scallops fettuccini with broccolini were perfection and not gritty. Service here is always warm and friendly, as well as quick and efficient! The ambiance is a lovely little upscale pub. Everyone here is delighted that you came and remembers you even if it was last year. This is why we come back year after year and will be back again!
