Loved the Pine cabin for our family fall trip to Maine! The cabin decor and camp feel to the property and amenities was a great experience. The staff were awesome with quick responses to our needs as well as helpful advice and suggestions for the surrounding area. The location is perfect for easy access to Camden and surrounding activities.

The first thing you notice is how fragrant the trees are. Then how peaceful it is. Then you meet the staff who are generous and friendly. Then you see your room - thoughtfully designed and decorated, it feels cozy and clean. We were thrilled to have one morning of bad weather as an excuse to spend time relaxing in the room. Truly, one of the best hotel experiences we've ever had.
