"This place is a surprise gem! Looking for a place to stay in the area and randomly lucked upon Poland Spring Resort! This place is crazy full of history, here are just a few examples: family graveyard on premises; free museum; nondenominational chapel built in 1912; an actual building from the Chicago World Fair in 1893 that was deconstructed and brought to the site by a whistlestop train tour and then reconstructed; the original spring for Poland Spring water that cured Hiram Ricker's indigestion in 1844, and that's just a few. The staff here are all friendly, welcoming, and clearly dedicated to this place. It seemed like there were "regulars," ie. families who return year after year. There's an open porch with huge columns and rocking chairs that overlooks the golf course and trout pond. There's a tall gazebo (on Saturday night a fancy sparkly group of teenagers gathered there to take pre-homecoming dance photos), an old gorgeous library on the third floor, an old swingset, a tennis court, bocce ball... I want to be perfectly clear. Poland Spring Resort is NOT glamorous and fancy. It's not a "resort" in the usual sense. But it is down to earth, inviting, and surprising, as well as super clean and well-maintained. And it does feel grand."
"The AC kept the room at a comfortable temperature overall but the fan blows right on you in the bed closest to the unit which would freeze my arms and head while sitting up watching TV from bed. Wish the fan could blow up more."
"The property was convenient, clean, staff was welcoming and professional. Breakfast attendant was delightful and tried to please everyone, friendly and personable."
"We enjoyed our return visit for a second year. It is a really special spot. We hope to return again. Place is clean. Yard has everything you need to be cozy. The view is great and the place feels private."
Leave it All Behind! 4-Season Sebago Lake Area, Kayak, Canoe & Fish, Pets Free!
10/10 Excellent
"Could not have asked for a better location close to Lake Sebago, the Causeway, and the Crooked River was right out the back door. The sand beach made launching my kayak quick and easy and my husband enjoyed fishing from the shore. The home was the prefect retreat after a day of fishing, kayaking, and exploring all Naples ME has to offer."
"Overall a grand house and property and has more places to sleep than it seems in the pictures. There are additional mattresses throughout in closets. We were the first wedding to use the on site tent and storage items, although I was not aware I would be the first. I was talked out of my initial tent rental through an outside company as I had booked that before a permanent tent was added to the property. The tent on site is huge and there are plenty of tables and chairs supplied. There were definitely some kinks to be worked out as those specific offerings are new to them. We had to fix the lighting before use and the generator did not give off as much power as expected. The cost is high for a self-service experience, but as are most wedding venues. The place was mostly clean, but small items like glass doors and bathroom mirrors were noticeably dirty. Many stays appear to be same day change, as when we arrived at 4:00 the cleaners were still finishing up due to a late checkout. Cleaners were very kind, they just have a huge house to get through in a short time. The fire pit is a great area and the deck has a lot of good seating areas. Hot tub is huge. Kitchen is also huge - well stocked. A great place to stay if you have a large group. Floating dock and little fishing boat are a cool addition. Sound system in the house is another cool factor, appeared to have a camera aimed at it. A lot of responsibility on the guest to stay at such a large property."
