"This was an unacceptable check-in experience, especially for what they charge per night. O
After a six-hour drive, we arrived around 7–8 PM to find the front desk closed, the property dark, and no staff available. There were no clear after-hours check-in instructions provided in advance—our Expedia confirmation only listed a 4 PM check-in time, with nothing about what to do if arriving later.
We called both the main number and the after-hours line multiple times and received no response. It was cold, raining, and the property is in a remote mountain area with very limited nearby options. Exhausted and unsure what to do, we did not feel comfortable waiting in a dark, empty parking lot with no way to access the room, so we had to find alternative lodging for the night.
The next day, we were told the key had been left in an envelope and that there was a note on the door. That may be their process, but it was not clearly communicated, not visible in the moment, and not a reasonable expectation after a long day of travel in poor conditions. For a property at this price point, check-in should be straightforward, well-lit, and clearly communicated in advance—not dependent on finding a note on a dark door.
To make matters worse, the property has denied a refund, claiming the issue did not occur, and redirected responsibility to Expedia, while Expedia says the property must approve the refund. We are now stuck in the middle despite being unable to access the room we paid for."

Bolduc's Lakefront Lodge | Family Fun w/ Dock, View, Ping Pong, Foosball, & Hot Tub
10/10 Excellent
"As always with Morton & Furbish, we could not have been more pleased with our stay at Bolduc. Waking up to beautiful views of Rangeley Lake, to the house being the perfect place for a group of friends to spend time together, we had such an unbelievable weekend skiing saddleback, bowling at moose alley, and exploring Rangeley. The house fit 13 of us perfectly and was well stocked with everything we could have needed. We could not have been happier with our time spent!"
"The cabin was perfect for our family of 5! We were visiting Saddleback Ski Resort for the first time and found the location to be very convenient. The cabin is super cute and has all the amenities you might need. We’d love to come back in the summer! "

It was cold outside but we stayed warm and comfortable inside."
Lakeside Lodge - 15 ft From Lake, Dock, Kayaks/Canoes/SUPs, Pet Friendly!
10/10 Excellent
"We had a lovely holiday stay. The frozen lake was constantly changing with the light. The beds were comfortable and there were cozy spaces for our family to come together or have some quiet time. The driveway was plowed and sanded on all but Christmas Day, which makes sense."
