It was a very cute, “rustic,” and comforting hotel. Close enough to the highway and main road but far enough away that traffic wasn’t bothersome at night. Definitely one of the better hotels we’ve stayed at.

When you walk in the place, it is a warm cozy atmosphere. A large container of hot, delicous soup awaits you, along with lemmonade, coffee and ice cream. The place is very clean, very close to Route 95 and Orono/Bangor. You knew you were in Maine when you checked into this place. Wondeful find
