Wouldn't it be nice to have a home away from home? Especially a comfortably appointed one located on a crystal clear, tranquil lake and just minutes from great skiing?


And you know, there's no place like Maine and no better spot for you, your friends or family than The Maine Houses. As Down East magazine reports, "The Maine House is operated as a self-service inn. It works like a hostel-albeit a deluxe one-or an inn with no innkeeper."


Our houses are unique. Each house has a kitchen any chef would love and flexible sleeping accommodations from private suites to bunk rooms making the houses perfect for groups from 4 to 94.
