In 2001, after 15 years of owning and operating a beautiful campground, we decided to sell our park and try something that we had dreamed of.running a bed and breakfast.
In that same year we were fortunate enough to make a once-in-a-lifetime purchase of a gorgeous peninsula upon which we would build our dream, 5 Lakes Lodge.
The site had been the home of a small waterfront store and marina since 1962.
In the 30's and 40's it was home to a huge sawmill.
Anyway, during the summer of 2002 we tore down or moved all of the original structures and started construction of the lodge.

Kathleen and I fell in love with 5 Lakes Lodge and both of you after only a three night visit.
The Lodge is absolutely beautiful; great dcor, fantastic vistas; very peaceful and relaxing.
The breakfast's were delicious and filling setting us up for a day of doing whatever we chose to do.
Debbie is a wonderful, fun hostess and is full of local knowledge; she made us feel at home immediately.
Rick is a tremendous source of local knowledge, as well; we thoroughly enjoyed learning about the history of the area, as well as, about the great places to explore to see animals and beautiful scenery.

Katahdin, or K'tahdn as the Abnaki tribes refer to it, is Maine's highest peak at 5,267 feet above sea level.
It is surrounded by 200,000 acre Baxter State Park and miles of forests beyond that.
Every room at 5 Lakes Lodge looks directly at Mt. Katahdin, a view that beckons guests to come closer.
Many climb to the top.
Others hike to its base.
Everyone enjoys the numerous scenic views of Katahdin.
Katahdin marks the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail that starts 2,181 miles to the south at Springer Mountain in Georgia.

Another great hiking destination, either by itself or in combination with a hike on the AT near Abol Bridge, is the ICE CAVE TRAIL.
The Ice Cave Trail is on property owned by the Nature Conservancy and is known as the Debsconeag Lakes Wilderness Area (DLWA).
The DLWA is a 46,000 acre Wilderness Reserve that is open to the public for a variety of recreational uses.
The trail is very easy to get to, short in length (3 miles round trip) and is about as "easy" a trail as can be found in the Katahdin Region!
