Dining Schedule at the Lodge at Moosehead Lake

admin — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 18:18:34 +0000

This season, we have changed the Lodge dining schedule. We serve dinner only in the Lakeview Dining Room to our lodging guests and we accept a limited number of reservations from the public. This has allowed us to focus on providing a premium dining experience. The menu is Ala Carte and focuses on Up North Cuisine, casual, warm and comfortable, like the Lodge itself. When weather permits, we also serve on the deck under the stars. Chloe’s Pub is not open to the public but remains available to lodging guests along with the newly constructed fire pit. Around the fire pit, guests can order a “Smores” kit, enjoy an outdoor wood fire and watch the stars dazzle against a black sky.

What changes have you made to the Lodge since you’ve been here?

This is a common question by many guests so we are going to take this blog post to answer it. The lodge became a country inn in 1995. Our goal is to offer discerning travelers the opportunity to surround themselves with authentic North woods décor, cuisine, and a full slate of comforts and amenities. The original owners started down this path and we wanted to bring this back adding some of our own touches as well. We stay in every room throughout the year just to be sure it is comfortable and not missing something. Some of our changes are here:

New 2-bedroom suite “Mt. Kineo” that can accommodate 2 couples or teenage children, etc.
New Katahdin bathroom with enlarged tile shower, floor, double Jacuzzi-style tub and new vanity
New parking lot within easy access of the suites
New septic system
Drainage system around the lodge
Remodeled dining room with bench seating
New white cedar fencing around the parking areas
New website with real time availability and booking engine.
New HD TVs in the Bear, Moose, and Allagash Suite
Compact refrigerators added to the Loon and Totem rooms
New Keurig single serve coffee makers in the suites
New CD clock radios in the suites with MP3 player plug-ins
New white towels that are Egyptian cotton in the suites and Turkish cotton in the lodge rooms.
New luxury chocolate brown bathrobes
New patio umbrellas
Front porch rebuilt
New covered dining entrance
New roof on the lodge
Newly designed amenities for all the rooms
New glassware for bar and dining
Redesigned and landscaped gardens throughout the lodge property
New window treatments, custom shower curtains, duvets and some reupholstered chairs in the Moose, Baxter Suite, Totem, Trout, and Mt. Kineo suite. This winter will be doing the Loon and Bear rooms.
New “Up North Cuisine” dinner menu based on guest input – more casual, flexible and continues the warm comfortable feeling of the lodge.
Martini Menu including the Mooseopolitan™ Martini.
Wood burning furnace that heats the lodge and water to save on oil use.
Resource of hiking trails in each room
Annual guest surveys to see how we are doing and identify opportunities.
Full concierges’ services for reserving dinner and activities.

Family and friends have told us for years that our home was warm and inviting. This is what drew us to the Lodge. It is great to share with so many!

Trail Angels stay at the Lodge at Moosehead Lake

Mother, son, daughter, daughter-in-law and grand daughter all stayed at the lodge to celebrate the completion of the Appalachian trail by the grandson. They are all avid hikers and wanted to experience what their grandson was experiencing as he finished this momentous goal at Katahdin. In the process they came across other hikers as well. A couple of young men had very bad equipment including broken hiking sticks. This group, replaced their polls and they were off for more adventure. The next day, they came across a hiker that was very sick. They took him to the local hospital to find out he had pneumonia. They got him antibiotics and a hotel room for the night. This group was truly Trail Angels and I’m sure angels no matter where they go. We welcome them back to Moosehead any time.

Several of the Moosehead Lake pieces will be on display in the Lakeview Dining Room of the lodge. If you are staying with us or dine here, you can enjoy or even purchase for your very own.

Lodge guests enjoyed breakfast on the patio overlooking this view this morning. It was in the 70s with bright blue sky. A full breakfast bar featuring fresh fruit, juices, cereal and fresh made banana bread started their meal with a bacon, broccoli and cheese frittata to get them on their way to a fun filled day of moose watching, hiking, rafting and so much more.
