North Franklin hotel rooms a the Independent

"I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the cabin was! I read the positive reviews and felt comfortable staying there but didn’t realize how spacious and homey the cabin would feel! The beds were super comfortable, having a washer and dryer in the cabin was a pleasant surprise, and the quietness of the entire resort area was fantastic. Super spread out. Renting canoes, kayaks, and paddle boards was really easy. The cabin got a little warm during the day but the three box fans were a big help."

"Loved the easy access to all amenities and ease of getting back enroute to Bangor."

"The staff was understanding and accommodating. We had everything we needed. You could text the staff for assistance. The room was extremely clean. There was a lot of attention to detail, such as towel and tissue folding. "

"Our reason for staying here was not because we were interested in the Sugarloaf Mountain area, but because it was the only hotel we could find for that night of our trip. ~ So, I would recommend it to anyone interested in all that Sugarloaf Mtn. has to offer. It's a beautiful hotel. We at dinner at the "45 North" restaurant located in the hotel because we didn't want to drive around looking for somewhere else, BUT order was very tasty, especially for the prices. ~ We didn't use any other amenities, but I'm sure they're top-notched. ~ We would not stay there again, because it was located out of our way and way too above our budget. Again, though, if someone likes what Sugarloaf Mtn. has to offer, I would highly recommend. "
