The Inn Nestled On The Shores Of A Hidden Maine Lake Will Be Your New Favorite Destination

As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

Nestled along the shores of this lesser-known lake is an inn that will absolutely warm your heart. Not only is it beautiful on the inside, but it’s also got some of the best water views you can find in one of the most overlooked parts of the state. This summer, skip the tourist-packed coastal towns and head inland for a stay at this lake hotel in Maine.

The Bear Mountain Inn can be found in Waterford, Maine sitting along at the head of Bear Pond in the foothills of the White Mountains.

While it's been around since the 1950s with several different owners, the current innkeepers, Brian and Julie Sullivan, have remodeled and their grand re-opening takes place on May 3rd, 2018!

The property is 25-acres and it features 11 rooms, a two-story post and beam home and a dog-friendly cottage.

And it might be the perfect location for a Maine barn wedding.

Virtually everything inside has been remodeled with a contemporary (but still woodsy! feel.

...and plush new robes allow visitors to enjoy the outdoors without having to sacrifice the luxury that comes with a hotel stay.

The staff is knowledgeable and are happy to assist with answers to questions.

And we absolutely love that, unlike some coastal properties, this lakeside beauty is open all year-round!

But, let's be honest, we love western Maine in the summer most of all.

Bear Lake offers a wonderful 180-acres on which to have fun.

Hike up Bear Mountain in the morning, then cool off with a jump into the lake by afternoon.

Then, sit by the shores in the evening and listen to the call of the birds while the sun goes down over another perfect day in Western Maine.

Bear Mountain Inn is located at 364 Waterford Rd., Waterford, ME. You can call them on (866) 450-4253 or (207) 583-4404. Information about the inn and booking can be found on their website by clicking here. Or, check them out on Facebook for up-to-date information about the inn and events.
