We stay at Five Gables every year and can't imagine any place better in the area (or anywhere else for that matter).

This was our first trip to Maine and we were lucky to have chosen Five Gables Inn. Even though we visited during torrential rainfall we certainly enjoyed our stay. The fireplace had a roaring fire when we arrived and throughout the weekend. The nicest lady was there to meet us the evening we arrived. I believe her name was Lisa.... more
