“Perfect getaway....a place where nature abounds and animals rule”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2010

I spent the most enjoyable fall week at the Telemark Inn. it is very inviting.....warm & cozy, very peaceful, secluded yet not too remote. Leo is a great cook......best eggs I have ever had in my life! The fall foliage was breathtaking! If you are an outdoor enthusiast & animal lover, you must check this place out! We hiked around the area and the gorgeous Grafton Notch region. Now that is a hike.....definitely not for amateurs! We paddled the Androscoggin on a beautiful, sunny fall day. It was incredible!
Hanging out with Steve & Leo was the best part! You will never meet two more passionate people, who work really hard & are totally dedicated to their animals! I had a blast learning from them about the horses, llamas, and sled dogs! I thought I knew a lot about Alaskan Huskies, until a little female pulled me right down in the dirt! Their power & passion is unbelievable! It took me awhile to get the hang of the whole "mushing thing", and I definitely have a long way to go. It is hard, physical work and not for sissies, but I loved every minute of it!! I can't wait to go back in the winter & really learn how to handle a team!
Staying at the Telemark Inn with Steve & Leo is an experience I will never forget! This place had such a profound effect on me that I want to have a camp there someday. If you are looking for a five-star experience in beautiful Maine, this is the place for you!!

“Incredible getaway to beautiful nature, animals and wilderness lodge”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2010

The Telemark Inn is one of my favorite getaways on the East Coast. I've gone several times over the past few years and love it each time. Nestled against the White Mountains National Forest, I was able to hike out directly from the Lodge on a 6 mile loop to a granite crest that overlooked breathtaking valleys and forests. The Lodge is serenity defined: peaceful, tranquil, welcoming, warm and very inviting. Plus there's tons to do here, or just sit on the porch. Last visit, I learned to garden, care for horses, build a flagpole, played w/ puppies (a few times), built fires, looked through powerful binoculars at stars and had amazing meals in a family style setting. Sunday was extremely hot and we went to a local, really fun natural river/pond to swim. The proprietors Steve and Leo are great people and really warm and welcoming, and are easy to befriend. I live/work in NYC and every time I return from the Telemark Inn I'm glowing for a few weeks. Go! :)

“Fantastic dog sledding adventure”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 April 2010

Great way to get away and do something that is a great adventure, fun and educational! Steve, Leo and Jake were perfect guides and hosts. The dogs are incredibly energetic and friendly. The inn is very comfortable -- great open floorplan in common area; meals are very good. I'm not a camper so the inn was perfect -- enough creature comforts but still rustic and woodsy. We'll be back.
