This place was the highlight of our trip. The good experience started with the reservation we made on the phone. The agent was very helpful with explaining the lodging choice and picking the right rafting trip since this was our first time. We were greeted with a friendly welcome right when we walked in. The amiable staff quickly checked us... More

Stayed sunday night in a suite, rafted monday morning. Suites were pretty nice, but no TV. Clean, roomy, couldn't hear neighbors. Checked in at 9 pm (long drive to destination) and was greeted by one of the friendliest desk-clerks I've ever come across. The next morning was treated to complimentary breakfast (hearty, but not super special...on the scale of hotel... More

About our photo prices: We have not changed photo prices since 2005. At that point they were at or below the local average and have now fallen much below the average for rafting outfitters. We offer 4x6 for $14 to take home or be mailed and up to 8x10 for $18 ready to go or mailed. We allow anyone to... More

I recently visited Crab Apple Whitewater and rafted the Kennebec River. We arrived at Crab Apple fairly late in the evening, where we were greeted with a smile and a friendly hello. The women at the front desk was very friendly and professional, going up and beyond the normal expectation of service. We later found out that she was also... More

We stayed at another establishment down the road but wanted to stop in for a nice dinner after a 100 mile ride on the atvs. The fact that the place was empty on a Sunday at 6 pm should have been a huge tip off but there really are no other places to eat in town so we decided to... More

What can we say - we blew this one?! we have a family business and live on the property. Family members are in our base lodge nearly every hour we are open all season. Not sure why we were not present this day, but feeling badly that the staff we left behind took the day "off" also. Inexcusable and upsetting... More

We are first time rafters and decided it was easier to stay at the hotel the night before our first trip. Beautiful scenery on the way up to the hotel - we were therre right as the fall colors were starting to show. We stopped many times to take picures. Lodge was good - about what you would expect when... More

Agreed on the food - stick with the bar food. That is what we did in 2009 - change our entire menu away from full dinners and more toward convenient meals that fit your needs. We eat a nice cookout after raft trips in the mid afternoon. By early evening, rafters come in to the pub for a drink and... More

My wife & I stayed over the 4th holiday. The lodge is in a great location right on the Kennebec River. Positives 1) The front desk folks were very friendly. As well as the cleaning crew & misc support staff. 2) We really enjoyed the white water of the Kennebec River. The boats & equipment were in good shape. Brian... More

Loved my experience here! Did the Dead River and Kennebek on the same weekend. Staff was extremely friendly--family owned establishment--pictures and video from rafting trip offered for sale--though a bit pricey. Cabins were neatly kept and this trip definitely provided a fresh breakaway from the bustling city life. There's a nearby park trail that leads to a beautiful waterfall that... More
