Oak Gables Bed & Breakfast

Martha is an excellent host. She puts her guests right at ease and the atmosphere she creates is welcoming. We stayed in one of her main house guest rooms and they are dated, however clean and comfortable. Those 4 or 5 rooms share a bathroom, but the price reflects that. Oak Gables also has several suites for rent and those all seemed full of repeat guests. Beautiful location!

My husband Fred and I fell in love with Oak Gables and Martha Scudder the first time we visited almost 20 years ago. We have stayed in 2 rooms in the B&B, then we stayed in the guest wing a couple of times. Finally we fell in love with the studio. This property is very special to us. We love sitting outside and watching the river and the birds. I learned how to play ping pong in the boat house down by the river. In the evenings we would walk down to the town for dinners. Once we saw a fox sleeping on the side walk. The real star of the show is the proprietor, Martha. She makes you feel like family. We have loved all of our stays there. The only thing we have not done is rent the cottage with our grandchildren. This is everything a Maine vacation should be. Once we watched the Perseids Mete

Oak Gables is set right on the Demariscotta River and it is hard to imagine a more perfect setting. We stayed in the main house in the Maple Room, which was beautifully furnished with antique furniture. Martha was an absolute delight and we enjoyed each morning's breakfasts and chats - a lovely way to start each day. Martha went out of her way to make our stay as lovely as possible. It is an easy walk into the little township where we found numerous excellent places to eat each night. We had a wonderful stay and would love to return.

I stayed at Oak Gables for a weekend in July and loved it. Martha is a very kind and welcoming hostess, and I fell in love with her little dog Dickens. My room was clean and pretty and had a good air conditioner. Martha made sure I had gluten free items for breakfast, she made me special gluten free pancakes which were great. I didn't use the pool but other guests were enjoying it. I enjoyed talking with other guests and chatting with Martha in the afternoons for a bit. I hope I'll get back there.

The best B&B in all of New England! Martha is the most gracious and kindest host one will ever come across. Martha felt like family to me by the time I left. Also, she made the best breakfast that was filled with great stories and laughs.
