This is an older motel that is being brought back to life. The room was quiet and comfortable, The fall colors beautiful. We were here only one night just to get a good night sleep before adventuring on. No complaints-it was a little spendy. It was a little different not having a live person to visit with, but it worked. Received a text with the code to get in. Someone set up the continental breakfast, but we didn't see them.

Great, friendly owners who seem committed to improving an older motel. Very accessible and helpful when I had an issue with a loud dog left alone by some inconsiderate guests. It was my mistake in booking at a pet friendly motel but the owners switched my room so I could have a more comfortable stay which was greatly appreciated. Noisy AC units, uneven floors, thin walls & poor water pressure are to be expected at this price point but the owners have added nice touches including homemade blueberry muffins, a fire pit and nice landscaping which adds charm. It’s helpful to be next to the dollar general and across the street from a Dunkin’ Donuts. We used this as a base for day trips to Acadia, State parks around the bay, Fort Knox. Easy check in, nice Roku tv set up, microwave & mini fridge. Definitely worth it for the price.

Actually reservation canceled after being informed of night construction and loss of internet. Host was very gracious and texted me to inform me that because of those issues I could cancel and they would refund the reservation money which I compliment them for.

It is a mid century motel, quirky. Room is clean enough, bed is a bit of rock, pillows also seem to have a lot of miles on them. Walls are paper thin, only one other party at the hotel but I could hear him snoring through the wall. Super annoying smoke detector that decided to go of at 1230am and 1am. More concerning it was a residential, not commercial, model from 2005. Stay if you must but I wouldn't go out of my way to go back here again.

The room had a musty/cleaner smell upon entry. The front door had gaps at the top and bottom that the light just poured in. Walls and paneling had areas that needed attention. Only a very thin fleece blanket and bedspread on bed. Bathroom fan did not work. Only had one tiny sink in the bathroom. Only had hooks on walls that coats kept falling off of, no closet. Nothing to put ones' suitcase on. Towels hung on rack over the toilet and no other hooks in the bathroom. They did provide lots of clean towels though. the room was very clean except for a couple spots that it looked like no one cleaned all season like behind the faucet. Definitely not worth the almost $200 per night that we paid for.
