Choose the Quiet Charm of a Country Setting

A 19th Century farmhouse situated on a country lane midst 25 acres of fields and woods. Outside--rolling terrain, a farm pond, an old red barn. Inside--hand-hewn beams, wide pine floors, a fire bucket, native baskets. Distinctively different, a true country inn, lovingly restored and meticulously maintained by two 21st Century women, Barbara and Rosalie Vanderzanden.

Step outside to explore the pleasures of country simplicity, to listen to the quiet or to songbirds, to smell the freshness of a summer morning or perhaps the winter fragrance of a woodburning fire.

Wander through the gardens which provide a colorful array of flowers and bounty of fresh fare for dinner, or down a wooded road dusted by the season’s first snowfall.

An air of quiet simple elegance pervades the common rooms rich with antiques and art, barnboard and brass, pewter and primitives. A bit of Americana, a collection of artifacts gathered round the world, an intimate library with an eclectic collection of books to appeal to all tastes.

A small inn is the Waterford Inne~come re-create your spirit in our small corner of the world.

The Oxford Hills and Lakes Region in which we are located is still one of Maine’s best-kept secrets--rich in its own natural beauty, yet offering proximity to the White Mountains of New Hampshire and the seacoast of Maine.
