Another Initially Horrified Guest
Our
rates are 20-40% lower than less interesting and less elegant lodging
available locally. If you work the angles right you can even do better
than the bottom end motels in the area. The longer you stay, the less
you pay. For more info on how we can charge you less and give you more,
see “Martha Stewart
Doesn't Live Here.”
High
on a hill in the Lakes Region of central Maine sits an architectural
treasure known as the Trebor Mansion Inn. Built in 1830 and once owned
by a United States Senator, the Trebor Mansion's origins are shrouded
in mystery. Although it was widely held by the locals to be "haunted",
and didn't even have electricity and plumbing in the main structure
until 1976, the original artwork, Moses Eaton stencils and stained
glass windows were preserved, and it is still crowned by it's original
slate roof. Although nearly destroyed in a massive fire on 1-24-2004,
today the Mansion's elegant guest rooms welcome travelers from all over
the world.

Our three acres of hilltop lawns with mature oaks
and sugar maples look down on the the Piscataquis River, and you are
welcome to laze about on the verandah or take a stroll about the
grounds. We have picnic areas, swings and benches for your enjoyment.
Or you can saunter 400 feet or so down to the historic Carnegie Library
on our front lawn. The guests have the run of the Inn---a 5000 square
foot structure which is private from the owners quarters---with a
verandah, a wrap-around porch, and four balconies. Artwork, books and
eclectic furnishings can be found in every room. We try to treat our
guests to privacy, giving them as much space as they desire. The
atmosphere is informal. You may do as you please.
We
are within walking distance of the center of the village, whose mill
dates to 1865. You can get anything you really need here.

Come
and join old friends and new at Trebor Mansion Inn and step back in
time, to a simpler era away from the hustle and bustle of our urban age.
