Gilsland Farm Audubon Center Tours

This property was very clean with modern updates. The staff was kind and helpful, pool and hot tub were amazing. Highly recommend River View.

This is an elegant old house from the 1920s which the owners have renovated into a B&B. Andy, the owner/proprietor, is a friendly and interesting fellow who cooked a delicious breakfast for us and shared the history of this old mansion and its previous long time owner. If you are looking for a reasonably priced B&B near Portland this would be a good option.

The property itself is gorgeous, and the room we had was so cozy and warm. Max’s pub had really good food, and I loved the complimentary breakfast. There were some issues with finding staff when we needed them - every time I needed someone I had to track them down. And I think the biggest issue I had with my stay here was the fact that they allow pets. My partner and I tried to go to bed early so we could get to go skiing, but the room below us had a dog who would not stop whining - it almost ruined the trip. The reason we came out to this isolated area was to get some peace and quiet, but that dog made our trip worse. It’s not the staff’s fault that one of their customers decided to bring a noisey dog, but I do hope they change their pet friendly policy, as it can be disruptive to guests without animals. I can’t wait to stay here again, but my wish for next time is to have a more readily available staff and more peace and quiet.
