"From the moment we arrived, our hosts welcomed us into their home and, for our short stay, we were part of their family. From our room on the second floor, we had a jaw-dropping view of South Twin Lake with all of the Mount Katahdin peaks framing the horizon. The ceiling fan provided a pleasant breeze while the loons lulled us to sleep. We awoke the first morning to the smell of breakfast. Our hosts served us delicious breakfasts each day as we enjoyed the company of the other guests. The lodge had a common fire-placed living room and a common loft to sit and relax. Outside, there was a wonderful beach area, camp fire area and a nice lawn and chairs to just sit and rest. Swimming in the lake was wonderful. The lodge provided canoes and kayaks for use at any time, included with our stay. We were also treated to a pontoon boat ride one morning where we got an excellent tour of the lake and its wildlife. We were provided maps and excellent directions and guidance for each of the activities we were interested in pursuing. Baxter State Park is only 30 minutes away. After our hike of Katahdin, the hot tub in our room was great! Everything about our stay far exceeded our expectations."
