5 out of 5A Wonderful Time
August 15, 2011
Drop whatever you’re doing this second and go make a reservation at 5 Lakes Lodge in Millinocket Maine. It will be the best thing you do for yourself. Rick and Debbie LeVasseur have hospitality down to an art form. Their rooms are beautiful and all have wonderful views of the lakes and a spectacular view of Mt. Katahdin. Their beds are the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on. Debbie’s breakfasts, sized to make most lumberjacks happy, are delicious. The presentation and selection were outstanding. Their extensive knowledge and love for the area are generously shared with all their guests. Want a quick hike or a favorite fishing spot, just ask and you’ll be directed to one fantastic location after another. Look out Rick and Debbie, we’ll be back. Earnie & Kelly
5 out of 5Outstanding doesn't even begin to describe it!

5 Lakes Lodge is by far the best B & B we have ever experienced. Outstanding doesn't even come close to describing the property, the lodge, the rooms, and the owners. This is an upscale accommodation that is second to none. The location is fantastic, built on a peninsula with water on 3 sides of the property. The view from the main room. the kitchen and from each of the bedrooms is fabulous, overlooking the lake. The Lodge itself is gorgeous - no tired antiques and flowery wallpaper here. The inside is all beautiful wood, with leather couches - very classy decor. Our room was upstairs, had a fabulous king sized bed that faced the picture window over the lake. Two really comfortable easy chairs sit in front of the windows. The bathroom is really upscale with a whirlpool tub and separate shower. The room has a small fridge as well as a TV and VCR. We swam twice while there. The waterfront and water is super clean! We didn't get a chance to use the canoes or kayaks but they are there for the guests to use. Rick and Debbie are amazing hosts. They really did go out of their way to accomodate us. As we had to be at Baxter State Park by 7:00 a.m. I asked if we could just get a bagel ourselves, before we left, but Debbie insisted on getting up and serving us a full breakfast. Her breakfasts are fabulous!! No need for lunch! Because we were there duriing the incredible heat wave, Rick asked if we would like an air conditioner in our room. Again, I would never expect a host to do that. Rick and Debbie have a wealth of experience and knowledge about the area. Engage them in conversation and you will have a ton of fun and learn a lot too. (Ask Rick about the bunnies!!) We sat and talked with them both evenings and had an incredible time. No one could ever be disappointed staying at 5 Lakes Lodge. We look forward to returning, and next time not for just 2 nights.
4.8 out of 5HEAVEN ON EARTH
July 12, 2011
This was our 3rd year at 5 Lakes Lodge. We fell in love with the surroundings, the rooms, the service, and oh my!, the innkeepers Debbie and Rick. Steve and I came here 3 years ago simply hoping that the lakes and Maine might be a match for our tastes. What we found was an incredible rustic flavored luxury combined with something that felt like being with the kind of friends and people you always had at your side. Rick and Debbie, the Innkeepers, are ever do delightful and friendly, honest, warm, and knowledgeable about everything Katadhin area and beyond that a traveler could possibly want to know. On top of that, they freely offer their kayaks, maps, advice, caring information and expertise to each and every guest no matter where they are headed next or what their plans are for the next couple of hours/day/wknd. Oh, and let's talk about Debbie's extraordinary breakfasts!!!!! She and Rick together serve gourmet breakfasts that consists of juice choices and coffees/teas (that Rick serves as he informs you of the day's weather and chats with each of you) while Debbie takes your order for breakfast. I won't give away her incredible offerings. Just know that you will never ever walk away feeling hungry! Steve and I often skipped lunch and breakfast lasted us well through evening. Enjoy the sunset boat rides they treat their guest to! We also enjoyed the most wonderful fireworks displays from the middle of the lakes. What more can I say! I know what I can say - I will be terribly saddened if I find that this review makes the lodge so popular that I can no longer make our annual reservation!
5 out of 5Loved this bed and breakfast!
July 09, 2011
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.

4.8 out of 5Perfect Setting !!!
July 04, 2011
We had a fantastic time. Debbie and Rick, the owners, offered warm hospitality, great suggestions, local information, and delicious breakfasts. The view can't be beat - both inside and outside. Would already love to go back. We have told many friends about it. Take a look at the pictures on the Internet. That's how we found it, but it's even better in person. M&J
5 out of 5What a wonderful week!
July 03, 2011
We have just returned from a wonderful week at 5 Lakes Lodge. What a beautiful setting! We enjoyed the stillness, especially falling asleep to the sound of waves and the calls of loons. The view of Mt. Katahdin from our front window was glorious. Our room was comfortable, clean, and rustically elegant with free wireless internet available. The innkeepers, Debbie and Rick, are so hospitable and available to assist guests. Debbie’s breakfasts are delicious. For the main aim of our trip, kayaking on quiet bodies of water, Rick’s intimate knowledge of the region’s lakes, ponds, and rivers and of the extensive network of logging roads was invaluable. As lifelong residents of the area, they possess a treasure trove of information. Twice during the week we were there, Rick and Debbie took guests out on their pontoon boat to see the five lakes that abut the lodge. These were delightful outings, especially seeing a bald eagle nest with twin eaglets and their parents.
4.6 out of 5Tailored to your needs
June 24, 2011
We stayed at 5 Lakes Lodge for five nights and rank it as the best of any B&B we have stayed at. We were there for rest and quiet after stressful family care-giving and we got exactly what we wanted and needed. But the beautiful part is, the people who were there for excitement and adventure also got just what they wanted and needed. Rick and Debbie were generous and gracious and being from Millinocket, their advice was excellent. Each place/trail/person they directed us to was a pleasure. The rooms are exceptionally comfortable and the view is spectacular. For a day and a half we just sat and drank in the exquisite view. Even if we had done nothing else, that alone would have been worth the trip. And the breakfasts were carefully, individually, and beautifully prepared. Room Tip: All rooms have the same spectacular view.
3.6 out of 5High expectations met...and then some!
June 19, 2011
Though it might seem that simply 'met expectations' isn't good enough, I expected a top-notch stay...and that is what I indeed enjoyed. Plus, with the help of owners Rick & Debbie, their maps, suggestions, stories, and overall hospitality, our stay was that much more memorable. Here's my review: I had bookmarked their website months ago, knowing this was a place I wanted to visit. And now, after a too-brief two-night stay, I can add my dittos to the several reviews I have just browsed (all 'excellent', I might add, and you won't find that very often). Let me add that Rick and Debbie's two wonderful dogs, Amber and Samantha, added their charm to the surroundings, though it's hard to add to what you'll find at this lodge. The lodge, rooms, views, breakfasts, and hosts' guidance are spectacular. There's so much to see, and do, so close by, yet I wish I had made more time for another canoe or kayak (on premises, so no need to bring your own) outing right from 5 Lodge's backyard (or is it the front?) on beautiful South Twin Lake...looking right at Katahdin. And, even though Rick and I were watching the Boston Bruins win game 7 of the Cup finals, we had to turn the sound down several times just to hear the laughs and crys of the loons under that night's full moon. I'm proud of myself for NOT even asking if internet access was available (free or otherwise), and used my laptop ONLY for transferring a couple hundred photos off my very busy camera. A positively 'impressive' experience all-around...and I hope we'll be back (wintertime would also seem like a fantastic choice if you're a snowmobiler).
