"A perfect place to disappear for the night."

"The room was tidy and overlooked the river. Falling asleep to the sound of water rushing over the old mill dam was very special. The restaurant below the hotel had the best coffee and espresso in Maine. No hyperbole. The best. We had a fabulous meal in the restaurant over the weekend. It is a “you get what is fresh and in season” menu with a few decisions for the guest to customize. People may unfairly consider this restrictive whereas we thought it highly pragmatic and forward thinking. If there’s only a few wines, it’s because they are good. If there’s only a few options on main courses, also good. The service and food was excellent overall. In terms of hotel experiences, we enjoyed the self service entry and checkout. No lines, final bills, awkward barriers in or out. There are a lot of hidden gems in Maine, and people ramble about culinary experiences that punch above their weight class. Our experience was a nuanced, sensory joy just being around salt of the earth locals and a weekend getaway that firmly cemented itself as just a time when everything felt right. We’ve done a lot of Michelin dining, and sometimes the se donner de grands airs (putting on airs) is cloistering and decimates mirth and the quiet smiles of a thing done consistently well because it’s the right way to live. This experience lets you love Maine."

"Just an overnight, but as usual it was pure relaxation. Enjoyed the fireplace and the fun Easter decor - bunnies and eggs everywhere you look. Thanks for another great stay at Andy's Place."

"This is a wonderful, cozy little cabin that is remote enough to be private and peaceful, but close enough to town to be convenient as well. Highly recommended!"

"Mike is an excellent host, quickly informing and then letting us to our selves. Lovely room, and a gift of chocolate chip cookies was adorable. "

"Great place with nice hosts! They were very helpful "

"Mini snowmobile vacation for us. "

"Fantastic sleep, I haven’t had slept like that in ages!"

"This was the second time I’ve stayed here. The first was last summer with my son for an ATV trip and this latest one I was by myself to visit family, friends and to do some snowmobiling. It’s the perfect place for all these activities. Right on the ATV/snowmobile trails and about 25 minutes from Moosehead Lake. The cabin was super clean and well stocked with the basic amenities and much more. Heidi was super responsive to my communications and very accommodating. I would highly recommend staying here!"
