WEBSITE & BOOKING A ROOM: - Mapped out website to understand more about the inn & policies. - Easy to navigate, view room availability & select desired room. - Wonderful photos of each room with sq. ftg. noted. - Lots of information of what's around / things to do in the area. INNKEEPERS: - The level of communication is great. I had sent an email with additional questions & was answered timely. They also use a method of texting as well as leave their phone #'s. - We paid for a 12pm check-in & Dave greeted us. He gave a tour & a mini history lesson about the building, which was so interesting! - Kelleigh waited on us for breakfast & was delightful. She'd engage in quick conversation & swiftly served us each course. THE ROOM (#4 - PERMQUID POINT LIGHTHOUSE): - Super clean, cozy & romantic. - The queen bed was comfortable with many layers of sheets, a down comforter & quilt-like blanket on top. - The (2) chairs by the window served as a nice area for me & my husband to enjoy a beer from the "Big Brewstah" keg & chat. - There are robes with slippers which make the stay all the more comfortable. - The thermostat is programmed, but it's allowed to change the temperature. - There isn't a mini fridge in the room (not sure if there are in the other rooms). 3-COURSE BREAKFAST: - Served ONLY between 8am to 9am (as long as you arrive in that hour). They do ask if there are any dietary restrictions prior. - As previously mentioned, Kelleigh was our server & hostess. - The hot coffee is French pressed & packed with flavor. - Dave has some serious cooking skills & we appreciated the use of locally sourced, fresh ingredients. - It was a very filling & delicious menu that Dave creates uniquely for each morning. ADDITIONAL NOTES & TIPS: - The parking is a bit tight; there are (3) spots at the front of the inn or the overflow is at the end of the driveway. - Each room has a key & a deadbolt (which can only be locked from the inside). - Downstairs area, neighboring the dining room, there is a living room area with shelves of books & a few games. - The busy season for the Brewster House B&B is around the 4th of July.

Nick and Jessica go above and beyond for their couples and Cassie is an incredible day of coordinator that makes you feel like you're at home on your big day. It was pouring rain all day on Saturday and the whole BMI team made our day so special. We decided early on to have our ceremony in the beautiful barn on site and it was literally the most beautiful set up I've ever seen at a wedding. We couldn't get over how beautiful everything looked. It is such an intimate and beautiful memory that is burned in our brains for life. Our wedding was for about 160ish people so we rented a tent to do our reception outside - this couldn't have been an easier process and the tent looked like a fairy tale out on the yard. When I tell you think is the most incredible wedding venue on the face of the Earth we so mean it. Every single moment our wedding was so perfect and it was really was made possible by the team at the Bear Mountain Inn. Nick, Jessica and Cassie + team we LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH and legit cannot wait to come back in the winter to hang out and party with you guys. Thank you SO much for everything you did for us WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!! ps - these photos were taken by Ben Wheeler at Ben Wheeler Photography Rooms: Literally the cleanest, most beautiful rooms I've stay at away from home. Every single one of our guests were blown away by the Inn. Nearby activities: Lake life, quaint restaurants and beautiful scenery! Noteworthy details: The property the Bear Mountain Inn sits on is a literal dream. It was foggy and raining on our wedding day and it really looked like something out of a movie like OMG take me back!!!

We drove by beautiful waterways - not sure if they were ponds or lakes, but they were beautiful and snow capped mountains in the distance - simply breathtaking as you drive further away from civilization. The location is easy to find, it's private enough for your events as well - far away from heavily traffic roads. There was plenty of parking for our group of 38 people (some of us did car pool). The grounds were so well kept - clean and neat and multiple outdoor fire pits to sit around, each with comfy chairs. The views of the water from the Inn grounds were so peaceful. You can also hike away from the water as well. So much nature to just take in, very calming for frayed nerves. The buildings are updated, but remain with a rustic style. Seems like pages right of a catalog. Gorgeous. The owners were so warm and welcoming to our group and very respectful of the privacy of the retreat. They took the time to welcome each of us and get to know us as people. Very much felt like we were guests in their home. It was fantastic. We hope to be able to visit again next year. Beautiful venue for retreats, weddings and gatherings. I highly recommend based on my days worth of experience.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Hillside Cottages, with a few caveats. The place was hard to find…read moreand didn't have a lot of information about things to do in the local area. Furthermore, we didn't realize that Norway was definitely the kind of place where a rental car or pre-booked transportation would have come in handy - it isn't easy to walk around nor are there a lot of options for taxis or food delivery. However, the cottage itself was lovely and quaint, perfect for a couple on a romantic weekend looking to stay indoors or merely enjoy the on-property scenery. We stayed in the MacIntyre which was one of the larger cottages - it featured a bedroom and pullout sofa, a gas fireplace and a roku tv. There was a decent sized balcony with chairs that looked out into the property scenery, facing the main road. The kitchen was equipped with a large variety of cookware, but there was little other than coffee to indulge in. The owners were kind and did their best to accommodate our questions. Grateful for a nice weekend.

I can say if you are looking for rustic and basic this is for you. We also thought it was a great price! The layout: The owner lives in the office next to the private beach. The lodge is across the street from the public beach (the lodge has a rec room that everyone can use... piano, foosball table, games, books, etc... My daughter liked it a lot!) There is a road that take you through the property that is lined with cottages. Private beach: has an area roped off just for swimming. There are plastic reclining lawn chairs left out for patrons to use- there were probably about a dozen. Beware- rock city when you enter then you get to sand. They do have 2 canoe's and 2 paddleboats that are available for use plus life jackets too! Added plus! We had the place all to ourselves on an August Saturday morning. Quite pleasant. The cottage we stayed in was a 2 bedroom. The master had a queen bed and we had a small 2nd bedroom with two bunk beds (with really nice mattress'.) My first thought walking in was this place is immaculate! Well kept! We had the basics... beds, fridge, stove, toaster, plates, pans, and towels. It's cozy. We had a nice enclosed deck with a table and a desk. I loved the clothes line- we used it everyday! We also had a charcoal grill available at our cottage. (Don't buy charcoal the owner said lots of people leave it behind so he hooked us up-lighter fluid too!) My suggestion of things to bring: (depending on how long you stay) Garbage bags sponge aluminum foil (helped us a lot in cooking) large knives (to cut/chop with) if you have kids there were no plastic cups I have to tell you if you are looked to be out in the middle of nowhere- this isn't the place for you! The road is really busy even late into the evening. We were on the front porch at midnight and cars were still travelling through- and the headlights hit right into our porch table area. But taking into consideration how close we were to the water and having to carry the kids stuff there- it was good for us to be close. PLUS there is a general store (Gemmes) a very short walk away so it was easy to get there with a child. So we really did like the cottage and it's location. Our only real complaint... the windows are old and swollen frames. The locks on the windows didn't really work. And the room with the most windows... the bunk bed area! I know it's Maine but as a parent I always like safety and security for my child. On top of that- the main cottage door lock did not fit! The owner and his son were quite the duo! Super laid back (literally walks around barefoot all the time) and funny! The son... his hat was on point!

A great place to stay on a wonderfully quiet stretch of Sebago Lake. RTL is run by a family that…read morelives directly on the water. This property is across the road from the lake and is a perfect getaway. The cabins are a bit run down, but it all feels just right. We stayed in the Oakleaf which is the smallest of the cottages. It had a screened in porch, kitchenette, and private bath. Canoes and a paddleboat are available for free for guests. There is a bonfire pit in the common grass area with plenty of seating. For $80 per night, I can't imagine a better deal. A couple of notes if you are planning a visit: 1) You need to send in a 50% deposit by check to reserve your spot. 2) Don't be put off if you don't get through right away, just leave a message and someone will call you back. 3) USE MAPQUEST TO LOCATE RTL.

The people running it are very nice and friendly, and the breakfast is very good and allows you to choose from different sort of (sweet) things. Also, it's quite well located, near the state park and Sebago lake, and Naples town which is ok. There are just a couple of problems. First, being so close to the main road, it's a little noisy. But the main problem is cleanness. The bed sheets and the bathroom and towels were ok, but there were spiderwebs all over the place. And therefore, there were a lot of spiders. Are they sacred here like cows in India or something? I understand we're in the countryside and you're supposed to find a bug or two (or not) but the room was full of all kind of spiders, big and small. If the maid would've cleaned thoroughly that morning, you'd seen one or two maybe but not so many. Also, the doors and walls were full of fingerprints from previous guests. And there was a t-shirt between the dresser and the wall, so she does never look around when she cleans? The joke of it all is that we had been given an envelope to tip the maid!

I can't wait to come back! Did I mention they have their own garden, fruit trees, and chickens?
