“Probably As Good As It Could Be”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2009

The Forks, Maine is rural - no cell service, no wireless Internet - and the available accomodations limited. We stayed in the Snow Carriage House, which was 2 bedrooms, one bath, a kitchen and sitting area, built over a garage for a long weekend. The space was clean and had a well equipped kitchen, but the shower left much to be desired. It took at least 15 minutes of running water to get luke warm and the pressure could kindly be described weak. The breakfasts were good - one order of pancakes was more than enough to feed an adult and a 10 year old. Aside from the basic nature of the accomodations, the Inn is next door to a bar, which played loud live music on the weekend nights, which made it difficult to get the kids to sleep at night, and it had people camping out all over the property, making parking a challenge at times.

“Undoubtedly the best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2004

I have lived in Maine my whole life and have kayaked the Kennebec up until I was eighteen years old. On a trip back to Maine I went up to stay at the Forks with some friends. Paddles and Saddles and the Inn at which we stayed were AWESOME. The small more friendly services are by far the better way to go.

“A great stay and raft trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 August 2004
4
people found this review helpful

We stayed here at the recommendation of a friend. We also used them for a raft trip on the Kennebec. The inn was great-- terrfic food, friendly hospitality, 2 nice dogs, and a beautiful view of the river. We paid and extra $10 a night for a room with a king size bed and a whirlpool tub, which was well worth it. The highlight of the trip was the raft trip on the Kennebec. Mike, the owner of their rafting affiliate, was our guide, and we were very impressed. I would definitely recommend them instead of one of the bigger corporate outfits.
