Mountainview Resort

We stayed in #23 the biggest cabin they have(3 bedroom), the cabin was spacious and clean. The beds were very comfortable. We did have an issue with no hot water but it was fixed immediately. The deck was in need of repair, along with the main building. The amenities included indoor pool and spa and a pool table. Outside pool was closed. The cabin is located in a very small town. Overall, a nice stay.

Mountainview is a gorgeous place in the middle of nowhere. The cabins are really nice, though the exterior of the lodge needs a new roof and some cosmetic/structural work that is in the works. If you need pristine and lots of activities this is not the place for you. If you love quiet, beautiful views, a nice warm pool and hot tub that is reminiscent of Dirty Dancing times—this is it! We love it here!!

20 miles from the Canadian border. Secluded - last week of Oct. Basically had the resort to ourselves. Loved the views and the fireplace. Did not like all of the dead flies and lady bugs - swept up at least 6 times a day but it was their season to come inside. Staff was great. 4 Seasons restaurant down the road was awesome. Wonderful lady in the hardware store made us a Christmas ornament - think her name was Kathy?? We will go back even though our goal was to see the Northern Lights and moose - saw neither but saw lots of wild turkeys

Stayed in one of the stand alone cabins which was in good shape but could stand a bit of furniture upgrade in the living room. Main building in old and needs a lot of repair, maintenance. Roof is clearly way beyond end of life. Indoor pool was open but way too cold to enjoy spending any time in it. Office is only open from around 9 to 4, you can not gain access to the main building outside those times unless you have already checked in.

This was a week-long exchange through Interval International. We didn't stay the whole week. We always consider travel an adventure, but some adventures just aren't necessary. The first clue that this place was about to be an adventure was at check-in when the very nice lady behind the counter (no complaints about her, she was very sweet and informative) handed me two keys: one for the unti and one for the front door to the lodge, with instructions that if we left or returned after the office as closed, we needed to be sure and lock the front door. It became somewhat more clear as we went upstairs to the room. There was no one else at the place. No one. The lights were on but no one was home. Whether making a fast run to the grocery store or out for dinner, etc., we had to lock up and then unlock to let ourselves back in. Strange. The first morning I went to the front desk and asked how to get to the pool (looked good enough from the parking lot), the response to which was it wasn't open "yet." I asked what she meant and for which she explained that it needed the seasonal opening treatment and a pool guy was supposed to be coming but hadn't shown up. OK, so it hadn't yet been opened for the season. So, next morning tried again to learn about the pool. The explanation was now that it had rained that morning so the pool guy cancelled. My curiosity was piqued -- why is your pool not yet open for the season and I'm asking about it on July 16th? She replied that all she could do was apologize. The unit itself was clean and functional, although everything was outdated. The walls were pine paneling, which in Maine is just fine. However, the bed and furniture looked as if they were out of a second hand store in the 70s. The kitchen had the necessary appliances, but the uniqueness of the dish washer was intriquing. The panel that covers that bit below the door had been "replaced" with a piece of black cardboard duct-taped to hold it in place. Along about mid-week I went out onto the 'balcony' (in quotes to emphasize the small, narrow capacity) to seek better cell signal. While putting in a phone number, I started to sit on the plastic chair. As my weight initially settled on the seat, the seat back broke off and the vertical ribs that otherwise hold up the back then were nothing but sharp spikes that drove into both sides of my waist. After my wife pulled me from my new position of neverending excitement, we agreed we had had enough. We left. Four days early. Nice lady at the front desk when we were checking in and checking out -- but the 20 year old young lady at the front desk in between the first and last instances seemingly couldn't give a damn. Nice enough insofar as a polite greeting when you could get her attention, and sufficient information when she deemed it appropriate to break out into answer mode after being asked a question. No. No. No. But that's just my personal opinion.

Jackman Maine is a lovely town the whole family enjoyed! We hiked most of the trip and were delighted with views of mountains and waterfalls as our rewards. The entry of the resort looks like a lodge and the staff is warm and friendly. We had unit 1, the AC had already cooled the room when we entered. We were surprised how spacious the unit was and easily converted it to a 2 bedroom with the privacy panels. The view from our balcony ensured we spent every morning and evening there. The kids loved the indoor pool and we loved the hot tub after a long day hiking. We will definitely be back! Please note, the resort is not new. If you're booking for the room and not the location this is not the place for you. If you're booking for the location and want a welcoming comfortable place this is for you.
