Come experience the beauty of the Maine outdoors. Start your mornings with breathtaking sunrises over the Penobscot River and end your evenings with colorful sunsets over Merrill Brook. Our property is perfect for couples, families, sportsmen, friend groups, and small-group church retreats looking to relax and reconnect.

Make lasting memories as you unwind, recharge, and enjoy simple pleasures. Play a friendly game of horseshoes, keep an eye out for bald eagles soaring overhead, and after dark, take in the brilliance of the night sky — you can even see the Milky Way.
