If you are traveling around the beautiful state of Maine, and need to stay in a spot away from the Belgrade Lakes region, we have a few recommendations:

Due north one hour is Governor Brewster's former estate:

The Brewster Inn in Dexter Maine, www.brewsterinn.com

A touch of England brought to Maine. Our former guests from the UK are now innkeepers in Maine. Comfortable accommodations, gardens, a conservatory and quiet rooms with private baths, are open for your stay. Closer to the famed Moosehead Lake region where moose are plentiful to view, Mark and Judith Stephens will make sure that you enjoy your stay in Maine.

Just an hour to our northwest in the Sunday River Ski Resort area:

A Prodigal Inn & Gallery http://www.prodigalinn.com
Innkeepers Marcey and Tom are warm-hearted friendly people who offer quality accommodations. Superbly elegant historic B&B with private Jacuzzi baths, gourmet breakfast and outdoor activities including skiing at Sunday River, kayaking, canoeing, and hiking in the mountains of Western Maine at Bethel.

We recommend that while staying there, you take a close look at the quality artwork of Tom White - Fine Art Bronze Sculptor http://www.tomwhitestudio.com
Emotions and character portrayed exquisitely in figurative fine art bronze sculptures by professional self-taught sculptor, Tom White

Close to: Sunday River Ski Resort, Gould Academy, the NTL Institute, Grafton Notch State Park and the Androscoggin River.
