    Main lodge

    Couples trip to Maine to enjoy the golf trifecta. The accommodations are in the older Poland Springs Resort. We had rooms on the second floor, king bed is comfortable and room had a sofa and desk. Limited TV channels available. Wi-Fi available. Front desk staff is very friendly and helpful. They provided great recommendations for local food. No personal beers allowed outside your room since lodge has a bar. Popcorn and ice cream for purchase a front desk. The golf course is par 71. There is a variety of elevation changes and narrow fairways at times. This is a loop Course and no return to clubhouse before finishing.

    So glad we stumbled into this gem of a place! I was a little hesitant having read some of the reviews on Yelp and Trip Advisor stating that the place was dated and "creepy." Dated, yes, but in a charming kind of way. Creepy, definitely not! We stayed in the "pet-friendly" part of the Presidential Inn. The porch and foyer offer a glimpse of what the resort must have been like in its heyday (early 1900s). Beyond the foyer, things are a little dated-- Think fake paneling, circa 1980s, throughout the WHOLE sprawling building! But this place is lovingly maintained, and I have not found cleaner accommodations anywhere over the past week traveling from PA to ME (including places that charged double the price). Sure the room was a little small, and there was a cathode ray tube TV, but who goes on vacation to watch TV? Included in our stay was an awesome breakfast buffet with some of the best quiche I've ever eaten, along with pancakes, sausage, bagels, muffins, coffee​, juice, etc. And homemade blueberry scones! The dining room is straight out of the movie "Dirty Dancing." Most days they even have musicians or some kind of entertainment. If you can appreciate stepping back in time, you will love this place! Read up on the resort's history (booklets provided in each room) and take time to explore the buildings and grounds on the property, and you won't be disappointed!

    Pros: decently priced, very friendly and competent staff. Cons: Room was incredibly outdated, and not very clean. - - I booked a room at the Lodge for my friend who was about to be married (I say was because, well, while this is being written before her wedding, it may be read after). This was to be her Bachelorette weekend trip. There was a problem with the online booking, which the staff acknowledged and were gracious about. They did not have rooms at the Lodge with two bedrooms, but they did at the Presidential building. It had been a very long trip for us, so we agreed. Externally, the building IS old, but relatively well- maintained, with the exception of the fire escape, as the last few steps were overgrown with weeds and grass. Still, this wasn't too bad, until I realized that the parking was in a gravel lot that was too small to accommodate guest parking for such a large building. Still, we stayed, as the room was paid for. Upon walking into the lobby, there was evidence of an 'accident' of either a small child or a dog, which was not picked up and smelled pretty awful. The stairs have doors separating the flights, and are reminiscent of an old-time insane asylum. And then we come to the rooms. Granted, the room did not smell, and the bathroom was clean, with no traces of mold on the curtain or the tub, and even the toilet looked clean. There was dust on the top of the ceiling fan, and on top of the a/c unit, as well as the picture and mirror frames. The duvet covers smelled clean, but were straight out of the 70s, and the sheets were crisp and white, free of any stains or signs of bed bugs. As far as the mattresses, they were both hard and lumpy, very uncomfortable. The pillows were very flat. The ceiling was sagging in several places. Overall, the stay was not the worst I have ever had, but it was certainly not the best. I would likely not stay again, at least in the Presidential building.

    If you're a hotel snob go elsewhere. This place is a great value for what you get in return. So much beauty and history here. Rooms are simple-yes they don't have 50 inch flatscreens. If you are going there to hang around in your room it's not the place for you. The golf is great the grounds are beautiful the staff is super friendly and the sunsets are amazing. It's an older crowd but a very friendly bunch. Hotel snobs book your trip at a fancy resort. For the rest of us this place is wonderful

    The Presidential Inn at night

    My first trip to Maine for a much needed vacation with my wife in late August. The resort is dated, like something out of the '70s. I think that's why I liked it so much. Rooms are clean, maid service excellent. We were in the "Ronald Reagan" room at the Presidential Inn. Breakfast & Dinner are included with the cost of your room whether you choose to eat there or not. Food is middle of the road fare, buffet style. There is entertainment every night for no additional fee for 6 of the 7 nights we stayed. All resort staff was pleasant. Bar opens at 4pm. Golf course appears immaculate as well as the pool. Had the best & most relaxing vacation in a long time. Cannot wait to go back !!!!!

The group of friends he made over the years has already had 2 mini-reunions since returning home just 2 months ago. He has made friends for life from around the world. Our youngest is already counting the days left before next summer, which will be his 5th consecutive summer. The camp itself is spectacular. It's on a picturesque lake. The choices for activities are endless and include: sailing, water skiing, kayaking, archery, rocket making, gymnastics, cooking, drawing, swimming, fishing, tennis, soccer, baseball, and so many more. The grounds are beautifully maintained. Roger and Dagni take care of each child as though s/he was one of their own. Because the camp has such a stellar reputation, Roger and Dagni have their pick of counselors to hire. The counselors are excellent with kids, have extensive knowledge and experience with their skills, and come from all over the globe. Many work as coaches at schools during the school year. Our kids rave about the food and constantly tell us that we need to get the recipes from camp. There are chaperoned flights from many major US cities making travel to/from camp worry-free for parents. We also love that the camp offers 2 independent, 4-week sessions. The campers start and end each session with the same group of kids. The consistency of having the same kids at camp from start to finish has allowed our kids to form strong friendships and really feel part of the Laurel South family. If only adults could be campers!
