Red Maple Inn

I own some land near Guilford and my buddy and I go up every December for a few days to walk the land and generally check on it’s health. We found The Red Maple Inn 3 or so years ago after staying in other local motels. It’s not the Ritz, it’s rustic, but it’s clean, well heated, the water for the shower is hot and plentiful, the bar is just downstairs, and the people are awesome. With a pool table, juke box, and live music, this place moves on Friday and Saturday nights and the local bands do a great job. The beer is cold and the mixed drinks are well prepared and priced just right. The kitchen does a great job on their menu offerings with their beer battered onion rings being some of the best I’ve ever had. The owners, Paul & Martha are gracious hosts and treat us flatlanders really well. If you’re looking for a romantic getaway, this may not be the place, it’s not touchy, feely, or fluffy, but if you want to get out into this area of Maine, meet some very nice people, and have a great time, you might want to give this place a try.

cold beer and stiff cocktails !!
awesome fresh seafood… their lobster rolls served on toasted frankfurter rolls with fresh cut fries and cole slaw are to die for.
house made beer battered onion rings are the best i have ever had.
we try to eat there everytime we are in the area.
oh…and the live bands on weekends are amazing for a small-​town venue !!
so looking forward to our next visit !

PZ and his entire staff are great! Have to love both their beer battered onion rings and their hand cut fries! Make a great pizza and their burgers are out of this world! I have never had a bad meal or snack there!

Might be the best beer batter I’ve ever had! I didn’t expect such tasty food but was very surprised at the high caliber of food they serve! A great place to drink a cold beer with some great, local folks! If you’re in The Moosehead Lakes area this is an unexpected gem that you should check out!

What could be better than stumbling across a bar located in what used to be the headquarters of the Women’s Christian Temperance League while on vacation? I’ll tell you what’s better: when you can get a basket of the best fried clams I’ve ever had, right there at the bar! Even better? The sides were perfect, the decent selection of beer was cold, and the staff was the perfect amount of friendly. There’s a big dance floor area where bands play, too. The only thing this off-​the-​beaten-​path inn needs is more patrons. Go!
