It was a great room with cozy and comfortable beds. The view of the river from our balcony was absolutely lovely. I really enjoyed sitting by the river in the Adirondack chairs, drinking my morning coffee and watching the seals. I highly recommend this property!

looks unassuming from the outside but inside the newly renovated rooms were like staying at a 4 star hotel. Very clean, comfy, and amazing view of the Machias river. Only downside is if you are on second floor you have to haul your luggage up and down the stairs.

Very comfortable and well remodeled room. The location provides beautiful scenery and wildlife viewing. Tons of Osprey hunting along the river and Bald Eagle sightings. The cormorants were plentiful as well. Centrally located for day trips all over the area. I will absolutely stay here again.

This is our third year in a row staying here for July 4th. Rooms are excellent. View of the river is spectacular from room. Fish will be jumping at dusk. Helens and Mason Brew Pub a short walk away. Rooms are recently updated and are beautiful. Great rear outside sitting area with fireplace to hang out at next to the river which is quiet on a large lawn area.
