Melanie and Justin were wonderful hosts, and Zack welcomed us so nicely. The property and private room we had were all incredibly well maintained, and for a busy hostel, they were able to make us feel like we were coming home after a long day of travel. Everyone was friendly and accommodating, and our young children were welcomed and had a great time. Wish we were able to stay longer!

I think sometimes the word hostel has some bad connotations but. this was the most beautiful bed and breakfast like property I've ever been in and the staff was extremely welcoming helpful and friendly. You feel like you're coming home after a adventurous day on the mountains.

Yes eco friendly, but not on other amenities
Posted 9 Jun 2024 on HotelsThe hostel of Maine was absolutely beautiful. However, it did have some strange rules like no shoes when you come inside. It also did not have a laundry spot where I could do my laundry. They had a laundry service which I did not feel comfortable using. I prefer to do my own laundry. There was absolutely no air conditioning and the heat was unbearable. All in all, if you're looking for a eco-friendly place with no air conditioning, no TV, then this is the spot for you.

Hi Denise,Thank you for the compliments on the lodge! We work hard to ensure it's the cleanest and most welcoming place around. Part of doing that with a small team and nice rugs & furniture is requesting folks treat it like their own home and leave shoes at the door, as you mentioned. Quirky, we know!While the resort area does offer a self-service laundry, we do not have one on-site, mostly due to a lack of extra space and hookups for it. Our laundry service, which includes us washing, drying, and returning items to guests, is done in the same professional washers and dryers that our linens are cleaned in. We understand that this does not work for everyone and apologize for the inconvenience.Although we do ensure that we have accurate amenities (no air conditioning) on listing sites, we unfortunately can't control how Expedia and others display the listing, so sometimes it's not explicit, and guests may expect it. We do have box fans, which I had offered the others in your room (they said thanks but never took us up on it), which can help tremendously when used in addition to the ceiling fan to pull in colder nighttime air. Either way, we care greatly about our guests' comfort and wish you'd mentioned it during your 7-night stay so I could have done as much as I could to help.Now that heat pumps (air conditioners) are becoming more efficient and solar is becoming cheaper, we are looking at ways we can both increase guest comfort during the frequently occurring hot summer days and have minimal impact on the environment that people travel from hours away to experience in Carrabassett Valley. We hope to have those in place either late this summer or early next summer, and hope in the future you'd consider giving our small business a second chance!

Great place to stay
Posted 14 May 2024 on HotelsI was a little skeptical about a shared bunk room, but the place ended up being wonderful. The property is very new and nice, bathroom was perfect, everything felt clean and new. The staff (Justin) was awesome, very friendly and accommodating. I was there for Sugarloaf marathon and they provided us a pasta dinner and late checkout for all of us.

Ski Day
Posted 14 Mar 2024 on HotelsWe booked an overnight for skiing the next day. The hostel was close to the mountain, was easy to find, was exceptionally clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great too!

The hostel had very nice private rooms, and for the adventurous, the shared "hostel" experience was excellent.
