Cheryl and Dale, the owners, have a remarkable way of making you feel like family, their attention to detail is spot on, and are extremely responsive to questions. We had been planning our wedding for just under a year during the pandemic and although this was their first wedding season, you would've never known. My bridal party and I stayed the night before at the beautifully built bridal cottage, the hair and makeup team arrived and had plenty of space and lighting to set up in the air-conditioned cottage. The catering team and bartenders that we hired had plenty of space to set up and work, with a full bar and full-size refrigerator, sink for cleaning, and dedicated area for grilling and preparing. Our DJ was set up on the main level on the dance floor ensuring our guests had adequate space for proper celebration. Every question or request we had on the wedding day was answered and met, which was great because that meant we could relax with peace of mind knowing the ceremony site and barn would be ready! The venue itself is so incredibly maintained with acres of green grass, gorgeous hills (makes for excellent photos!), newly built bathrooms, and a brand-new fire pit/patio area, which our guests loved. If you're looking for a well-maintained, rustic style red barn to host your wedding at, look no further than This Old Barn.

Exactly how you would assume your local brewery would be. However once we got there they asked if we liked to take the kids (4 under 3 year olds) upstairs into the game room. It ended up being the perfect for the kids to run around and play games! The staff were super helpful and attentive. The only downside of being upstairs is you're a little out of the way so not always serviced as quickly as you would be if downstairs.

Stayed here in September of 2026 and a couple times prior years ago. This review is based off my…read morefall of 2026 stay. This was a reward-based stay, but I treat all reviews the same and try to include the good, bad and the ugly. Check-in was simple and we were given a corner room on the 3rd floor. When we arrived we were pleased with our 2-Queen bed room-which was a bit unique in that they had the window open. I loved that touch. Fresh Maine air. Off to a great start! Bed-VERY VERY COMFY!!! Bathroom, basic but nice. All the things-including pump shampo, conditioner and body wash. Oh the TV was HUGE. We stayed 3 nights at another place that was our basecamp that week and we agreed, if the room was as comfortable as this one we would have done less stuff...the beds combined with the HUGE (65 inches I think???) TV centered perfectly to line up with the 2 Queen beds (ok my lady and I occasionally indulge ourselves by each getting our own bed when on vacation-as I guess I am both a pillow hog AND a blanket thief)...anyway, we were in bliss!!! Breakfast is the usual HIE mix of warm and cold offerings. Not the best, but far from the worst. I made the most of it and then brought up some treats for the misses because I let her sleep in. **NOTE no coffee maker in the room-which is fine, they have it downstairs and frankly I think they do it because it streamlines cleaning rooms which helps turn the rooms around quicker so your room is available, in theory, sooner-and lets face it, cleaning rooms sucks so don't forget to tip service workers where appropriate, but I digress. We didn't use the pool or anything else really, but our limited interactions with reception at check in/out was great and I can easily say, based on our experience, this is a solid offering very close to 95! A Wal-Mart, Target, Market Basket (think inexpensive grocery store), Wendys and a bunch of other chains, including several gas stations are all within a few minute drive. The pool (indoor) is small, but they all seem to be nowadays. The drive to route 1 is 5-7 minutes as I recall and the Palace Diner (oldest and arguably the best in Maine) - in town - is about 10 minutes away! I would not hesitate to recommend this place and I would even consider this a good option for a staycation if your looking for something in that area-the beds and TV really make it welcoming! Oh our fridge even worked good enough to make ice in the icebox-plus there is an icemaker on 3 (and maybe other floors?).

We are supposed to be staying here 7 nights and have been here two nights going on three. We tried…read moremultiple times asking them to clean and service the room all to no avail. We tried 5 times today leaving in the morning at 10am and asking both the person on duty Megan and the housekeeper herself to come. We asked both twice, and the housekeeper came after I'd told her 2pm at 1 when I was in a towel . The first time we requested, we got back 2plus hours later and still no one had come to clean. Megan never apologized when we asked why. She instead said she was busy doing laundry and that we needed to give a more specific time even though we had done just that. We had given a two hour window (10-noon) and then the second time when we left at 2 an 8.5 hr window. Unfortunately once again when we got back to the room at 10:30 pm, it still hadn't been cleaned. Another problem since we got here, despite telling them multiple times is the tv doesn't get a signal (that's the air message on the screen) and is unusable as it's not connected to their cable provider. Someone named Sean came to the room at around 1:30 pm saying he'd heard we had problems with the hotel. But he ended up saying if we're not happy with the room they'd reimburse one night but we'd need to get out by 3pm!!! It was 1:30 and we were about to leave for the reason we had traveled here from L.A. (a university graduation ). I was shocked at his inhospitable manner. I explained we were on our way out right then (I was at the door about to leave) heading to our daughter's university graduation and wouldn't be back until late that night so his suggestion was ridiculous. I tried to explain if his intention was to compensate us or apologize, he shouldn't be telling a 7 night-reserved guest to "get out" with a 1.5 hr ultimatum. This is highly improper hotel hospitality etiquette in my experience and he may have been the general manager himself, even more shocking. That part was also confusing. He handed me a card of the general mgr but implied he wasn't the same person as the card even though the card also had the name Shawn (last name Patel)??? It's 10:45 pm as I write this, and since we got back at 10:15 tonight there has been not a single person on duty. The same was true of last night. If there is an emergency in this hotel, there will be absolutely no one here to take care of anyone. When you call the phone number, it says unable to take a message, that is using the room phone and also calling the general manager's card number from my mobile phone which on the card is the same as the hotel general number on their room phone!! There is no one here at this hotel to take any kind of responsibility and no way to get in touch with anyone, unacceptable hotel management and highly suspicious as well. Also breakfast food stale and inedible except boxed cereal. It is difficult to even give this hotel one star due to the above, but it requires that I give one to leave this review otherwise I wouldn't.

Very unfriendly staff, wouldn't give me a refund for a commuter pass to a Charles Eisenstein…read moreretreat that I signed up for five days before it began, then realized a personal spiritual process was too much for me to attend (I had a transformative medicine ceremony two weeks prior). The negative vibe and attitude and lack of heart from this org is striking, considering they host events like Charles Eisenstein. Such a stark contrast from his mission and stalwart example. Shameful in my opinion, and I would encourage everyone to steer clear. I'm sure they'll say, "Sorry, it's in the cancellation policy that we don't offer refunds, but rather credit for future retreats." Well, sorry, I believe in a more heart centered approach, recognizing that I need the $380 way more than you do. I don't have much.

The staff especially our contact/planner and day of coordinator was Sarah who made sure everything went perfectly!

The BAD Elephant…read more Blue Elephant is AMATURE catering at best. In a few words: disorganized and dysfunctional management, poor communication, tasteless and bland food. This placed doesn't even deserve one star. Thankfully, boxed pizza saved the day. We hired them for our wedding a few years back to serve apps and a sit down dinner. As appetizers were passed, we noticed there were NO bacon wrapped scallops. Instead, Blue Elephant REPLACED this with some fig-thing! Apparently they were unable or simply forgot to get the scallops?? This last minute substitutions was made WITHOUT our knowledge and without ANY price adjustment/refund towards the bill, which of course they make you prepay in full. No satisfaction guarantee with this company. The plated dinner was such a disaster! The steak was so disgusting and poorly cooked, no one ate it and the brussel sprouts that accompanied it were completely inedible. How do you mess up brussel sprouts?! It was really upsetting to see all the thousands of dollars worth of food, be dumped into the trash. Some of our guests actually LEFT our wedding and brought back PIZZA!! So this is what you get when you spend thousands and hire people who claim to have 27 years of catering experience?? How embarrassing. Not to mention, you can expect a ridiculous delay in emails, expect to make numerous calls to get a hold of either Ruben or Fausto and prepare yourself for lots of confusion and unexpected menu changes without being notified or reimbursed. Hiring the BAD Elephant was a total waste of money and I would never recommend them to anybody!
