See ALL That Maine Has
to Offer! |
|
The
best part about staying in the
Augusta/Hallowell area is that you can
avoid the crowds of visitors along the
coast, but have a great "base camp" from
which to visit much of Maine. It
is an easy hour's drive to the coast
(many different areas from Freeport
shopping to the crashing surf of Pemaquid lighthouse), literally dozens
of great lakes for beaches, boating or
fishing, or the wildlands and mountains
of northern Maine. Don't choose a
different place to stay every night...
settle in at Maple Hill Farm, and we'll
make you feel right at home while
suggesting places to visit depending on
your mood and interests. |

Things
to do locally while you're here:
- Plenty of great
fishing: Jamie's Pond, in the
middle of over 800 acres of protected open
space just a one mile walk or drive from the
Inn, is stocked with fish every year.
Perfect for putting in a canoe or kayak
(bring your own or we can arrange a rental
for you) and enjoying true tranquility.
Cobbossee Lake, just 3 miles away offers a
greater range of fishing with boat ramps or
larger boats available for rent. The
Kennebec River offers ample fishing
opportunities, with new habitat for Atlantic
Salmon after the recent removal of Edwards
Dam in Augusta.
- Hiking and walking
on our 130 acres or neighboring 800+ acre
Jamie's pond wildlife management area trails
are available right here!
Ask for our special
trail map. More trails
are available
in the
Vaughan Woods (known locally as
Hobbit-Land), the
Pine Tree State Arboretum,
the
Kennebec River Rail Trail, and many
other walks
and even mountains within 30-60
minute
drives.
- Just relaxing on
the front porch, in a hammock, in front of
the fireplace, on one of our private decks,
or by our OWN SECLUDED POND in the woods.
- Enjoying artwork
in our own gallery featuring local artists,
or in one of many local art galleries
including several in Hallowell's downtown
national historic district.
- Museums and Historic
Architecture. This is something
truly special in the Hallowell and Augusta
Maine area. We have the fabulous
Maine
State Museum,
Old Fort Western,
and the recently
restored State Capitol building in Augusta,
less than 5 miles away. Downtown
Hallowell is a National Historic District
and is a well-preserved example of a late
1800's riverfront community, except for the
bustling industrialization that has been
replaced with antique shops, restaurants,
galleries, and other specialty shops.
The architecture has been preserved, and a
detailed historical walking tour brochure is available for
$1 (which benefits the local historical
society) here at the Inn. In 2009,
Hallowell's
Museum in the Streets
with detailed descriptive outdoor
plaques was completed and a free brochure is
available at the Inn.
- Birding and Wildlife
Watching. There is wonderful bird
watching right from our own front porches
since we have a variety of bird feeders, or
you can stroll nearby Jamie's Pond with a
wide variety of wildlife in various
habitats. Several other
nearby locations are outlined in the
Maine Birding Trail guide (www.mainebirdingtrail.com
-- check out
page 13).
