This was my second vacation up there and i chose this establishment because, the staff was amazing, very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Gave us a few good breakfast spots that were the best. The location is beyond perfect! You are close to all the shops, great area to walk to a restaurant, if you are here for riding atv, side by side's, the trail is right down the road and you can park your rigs there. The pool was so refreshing after a day of riding in the heat. They also have grills there that you can use, that right there is the best hospitality I've ever seen. The rooms are incredible, beds very comfortable, and the shower i can say was top knotch 😉.We're gonna return again for all the reasons i listed and theres so much more. 20/10 definitely recommend going, you won't be disappointed

Excellent stay

Excellent place to stay. We spent two nights and would definitely go back again. We loved the surrounding area of Gorham and would like to explore it more. The room was clean, with modern touches, and well maintained. We also enjoyed the vibe of the outdoor area in front of the rooms.
