Inn by the River, West Forks, ME

The Forks is a wilderness area with moose and deer by the roadside and osprey and eagles soaring overhead. Inn by The River brings you the comforts of home while you enjoy the out of doors. We have a total of ten spacious guestrooms. The rooms are individually decorated in a charming country style and each has a private bath. Some of the guestrooms have private screened porches and whirlpool tubs in the private baths. Our new Carriage House apartment will sleep up to 12 people. It has two bedrooms, each with two double beds; a futon couch in the living room; a full private bath; and a complete kitchen.
