Due to the 2020 Scamdemic and by order of Maine’s Governor Mills who has ordered that all Maine lodging establishments to not take ANY reservations through til July 1st and no clear guidelines and no responses for relief with SBA loan; PPP or any other relief - it is with great sadness and disappointment that effective immediately:
1. All reservations made for the summer season are officially canceled.
2. All pre-payments and deposits have been returned to all guests for summer 2020
3. We are taking only phone reservations for summer 2021.
4. Booking(com), in respect of Maine’s government shutdown of transient guests and tourists have made it unable for us to even receive unpaid reservations.
5. The virus is real and deadly but things got political. The scam, we believe, has nothing to do with the actual virus itself but the overblown hype of the problem and the government’s role in resolving the issue considering all factors including impacts of those who were forced to close establishments and operations without resolving mitigating circumstances.
6. Our business, our long-time guests, and our community are strong and will persevere. We will be back to serving tourists, vacationers and transient guests as soon as all government intrusions are reasonably contained and dealt with to operate a fun and family friendly lodging establishment.
Our Pine View Lodge across the street will follow the same path as Marvin Gardens Motel.
Many thanks and may God Bless You All.
