Summer & Fall
Late spring to early fall is our busiest time of year. Enjoy hanging out by the lake and exploring the natural beauty and unique area has to offer. Popular activities include hiking, biking, canoeing/kayaking, wildlife watching, fall foliage viewing, ATVing, and hunting & fishing. The more adventurous may choose to visit Baxter State Park and hike Mt. Katahdin, Maine’s highest peak. No matter what you choose, we are sure you will relax and enjoy exploring the region.
Winter
All of our accommodations are ready to keep you cozy during winter nights. Come on in after a long day in the snow and enjoy a drink by the fireplace before dinner. We have many opportunities to enjoy the snow and peaceful winter woods by snowmobile, snowshoe or cross-country ski nearby. Whether you are in Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument or on a sled traveling down ITS 85, we are a perfect place to eat, rest, and enjoy the winter wilderness.
