Fairway Motor Lodge

Fairway Motor Lodge Clean, comfy and quiet overnight & extended stay property located in a country setting 2 miles West My husband was born & raised in Sweden, thus the name.

My husband and I have owned and operated Axell's Scandinavian Inn and Fairway Overnight & Extended Stay for over 20 years. They are two small motels just a few miles west of Augusta. Each is set back from the road and surrounded by beautiful lush lawns with grilling areas, lawn games and the Fairway boasts a beautiful outdoor, heated pool. Of the 30 guest units available, all but 4 have fully stoc

ked kitchenettes which make them very conducive for extended stays. Because my husband and I live on property and are very hands on, we will make sure you have everything you need during your stay. If it isn't already in your guest unit, we most likely have it in our house, just let us know what you need! Hope you'll visit someday soon!

🎆 You're Invited: 11th Annual 4th of July Fireworks Show! 🎆

The Fairway Motor Lodge is hosting our 11th annual fireworks spectacular right on our front lawn — and everyone who reads this is invited!

For the last 10 years we've covered the whole thing out of pocket (about $1,400 for a fun ~13-minute show). This year, in honor of America's 250th anniversary, we want to go BIG!

To make that happen, we're inviting our customers, friends, and neighbors to chip in and help expand the budget.

We'll be purchasing the fireworks by mid-May, so any support before then makes a huge difference.

Come celebrate with us — let's light up the sky for Independence Day! 🇺🇸

A Safe, Comfortable Place for You!
If you’re starting to wonder whether your loved one needs a little more support, you’re not alone.

Many families are searching for that middle ground: a place where their loved one can live independently, safely, and with dignity — while staying close to everything and everyone they know.

Our extended-stay efficiency apartments offer just that.

Each private room includes:

• A kitchenette with a full-size stove and refrigerator.
• A private bathroom with a tub/shower combo.
• Weekly housekeeping for added peace of mind.

Here, your loved one can maintain their independence, their own space and routine, while being part of a warm and welcoming community.

Residents enjoy:

• Safe walking areas for fresh air and exercise
• A beautiful front lawn with games, picnic tables, and firepits
• A relaxing saltwater pool in the summer
• Friendly neighbors and familiar faces

And because we live right here on the property, we are nearby each day. While residents enjoy their independence, families appreciate knowing someone is close at hand if a concern ever arises.

For additional peace of mind, exterior security cameras monitor the grounds and common outdoor areas. This added layer of protection helps ensure a safe environment while fully respecting the privacy of residents inside their private homes.

Located just minutes from downtown Hallowell and only 3 miles from Augusta, your loved one remains close to family visits, doctors, churches, shopping, and the community they’ve always called home.

This isn’t just housing, it’s a place where you can feel secure, connected, and respected.

If you’re looking for a safe, local option that offers independence without isolation, we would be honored to welcome your family.

To every beautiful mother, (no matter what kind you are) a fur mom, a human mom, or simply a soul who nurtures and loves deeply… we hope you have an incredible and deeply treasured Mother’s Day weekend. You are the heart of the home, the quiet strength behind every triumph, and the endless source of love that makes life meaningful. You deserve to be celebrated in every way. 💖🌷
We would love for you to share a special mother's day moment in the comments below. :)

Motherhood is more than biology. It's a sacred calling, a profound responsibility, and a lifelong journey of nurturing, loving, and guiding another soul. It's late nights and early mornings, silent sacrifices, fierce protection, and quiet prayers. It’s found in the arms that comfort, the voice that encourages, and the heart that never stops loving. Whether you're raising children, caring for animals, mentoring others, or simply offering unconditional love to those who need it.
Motherhood is not one shape or size, it’s felt in the presence, the care, and the constant giving of oneself to help another grow.

Happy Birthday to a truly beautiful soul. 🌹

To the woman who gives her heart without hesitation, her time without complaint, and her love without conditions. You pour into everyone around you, lifting others even when your own arms are tired. You smile through storms, love through pain, and live each moment like it's a gift because to you, life is a gift, and so are you, Sheila Axell.

You're the kind of person this world desperately needs more of. Gentle, yet strong. Selfless, yet powerful. Quietly extraordinary in every little thing you do. On your day, I hope you feel even a fraction of the love you so freely give. You deserve oceans of it.

Here’s to another year of loving big, laughing often, and living your beautiful, unstoppable life to the fullest. You’re magic. Pure, radiant, unstoppable magic. 💖
