This is a perfect INN, not a hotel. Staff (Josh) was perfect. Rooms were one bed with bathroom. Refrigerator was in the hallway (none in room), No TV. Which was perfect. All guests ate, drank at the bar and visited with each other. It was PERFECT. We met a lovely young couple from Switzerland, Group of Older women on a women's vacation as well as locals, construction workers and truck drivers. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

The staff was very busy but made time to talk and visit with you . The available Bar and excellent restaurant are a big plus. It’s an Inn by the river, but they made you feel like you were home.

Excellent stay. The Inn, while a bit dated, is very charming and comfortable. The food was excellent and the staff very pleasant. Great value and if we had had more time there is lots to do in the area.

The staff at the inn were all incredible, the first time they met you they greeted you with your name and all the staff always knew who you were anytime they saw you. They were always happy and cheerful toward all of there guests. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very nice clean and tidy. We also ate at the hotel and the food was wonderful. This was a wonderful place to stay, my wife and I actually had extended our stay because we liked it so much. Thank you to all the wonderful staff that work there, we can't wait to return

A lovely stay at a small inn. Greeted by friendly staff who went out of their way to accommodate requests. There are no televisions in the rooms, so it's nice and quiet. There's a shared mini fridge and microwave for guests and coffee is always on. Close to beautiful hikes, just ask for a list of local sights. Fine dining at the Inn overlooking the sunset on the Kennebec River or a fun pub, Boatmans, owned by the same folks just down the road for Tuesday taco night and ping pong. The king bed was deliciously comfortable, the shower and jacuzzi in-room were perfect. All in all a fantastic stay.
