I live in Alabama and it's hot down here, maybe a trip up to Maine would cool things off. Want to join me?

Inn At Long Lake in Naples

Welcome to Naples, and the Inn At Long Lake located just 30 miles northwest of Portland, Maine, on the shores of Long Lake. Long Lake is one of Maine's largest and most beautiful bodies of water providing year-round recreation. Near the foothills of the White Mountains with close by outlet shopping in scenic North Conway, NH, the Inn At Long Lake is the perfect destination for family vacationers and provides lasting memories season after season. Your Innkeepers, Buddy Marcum and Todd Fuja, welcome you to explore this Victorian era inn and discover what so many others have learned...how to relax with respite from every day life. The Inn at Long Lake was built in the early 1900s by the famous covered bridge builder; John Meserve. In the beginning, the Inn served as an annex for the employees that worked in the areas summer resorts. Once one enters this majestic building they are immediately drawn to the fireplace located in the great room which took over a year to complete. The inn underwent an extensive renovation converting it from a boarding house to a beautifully appointed AAA three diamond awarded lodging establishment. The Inn boasts 16 rooms, all with private baths. A Victorian Antique decor is dominant throughout the guest rooms, continuing into the halls and common areas. Views of scenic Long Lake can be had from the long porch which is lined with inviting wicker furniture. Most recently, the Inn was rated as one of the top 10 B&Bs in country by Innovations Inc., and rated one of the top 12 Inns for best fall foliage.

About the Innkeepers: After leaving careers in the corporate world, innkeepers Todd Fuja and Buddy Marcum have fulfilled a dream that many of us have shared; owning a Maine Inn. As Innkeepers, both Todd and Buddy take great pride in creating a relaxing getaway and have succeeded in providing superior accommodations with tastefully appointed rooms and a five star dining experience. Both Todd and Buddy love to cook and spend their "off-time" visiting antique auctions; continually adding to the Inn's decor. As you stroll through the inn you can't help but to notice the old clocks located throughout that have been added from their years of collecting. New to the inn this year: a delicious full breakfast is served in the gracious Great Room. The large, quiet backyard and gardens offer a combination of sunny and shaded areas for reading and relaxing. After a day of Lakes Region exploration, relax on the Veranda in wicker chairs and enjoy the views and breezes of Long Lake. Whether you choose to visit Maine in the summer to enjoy the natural beauty of the outdoors, in the fall for the foliage, or even in the winter to experience the magic of a snow covered woodland; a visit to this classic New England Inn is not to be missed.
