We were very pleased wity the cleanliness, comfort and hospitality. Fishing was good only I with I had gotten some bigger fish, but I learned more about where to fish and will try again next year. I got some great pictures too of the loon and one of its young with it. We don't see many loons down here in CT or in AR so that was a treat too. Take care and hopefully we'll see you next year. Al I did go to the tackle shop you told me about, I was impressed with the trophys the man had won in his shop. Best Wishes Carl and Donna Sept 2009 Very nice accommodations.

We enjoyed our stay and having a nice, clean, comfortalbe place to stay was a big part of that. So take care and we'll venture up that way again some day. thanks again, Fall 2005, Zach and Tom Baer Dear Robin and Alan, You both made our 2 day quick getaway a success! The fresh, clean, homey rooms were perfect as they always have been the other years when we've come up to Ice Fish, Ski, or Motorcycle. Your location is convenient from MA, and there are plenty of stores and food sources for our needs and enjoyment. Its obvious that you are sincerely interested in our quest to have a fun and relaxing time when we come up. The Snowmobile trails were great and the 80 mile loop we did brought us to some beautiful scenery, lunch out and home before dark. The second day we met a fellow snowmobiler from Casco on the trail that took us on a nice 40 mile "guided tour". Just one question... how did you get it to snow like that just before we came up? Thanks for being there! February 2005, Paul and Emilia, Shirely Ma Thanks for a great time at your motel!!! We were very comfortable and especially loved Thomas Pond. It was a god-send for our 8yr old daughter especially as she loves to fish right off of the dock!!! My husband even got into it and has never been much for fishing! We really enjoyed the paddle boat, canoe and BBQ grill also. The kitchen facilities in the room were wonderful. We will highly recommend your place to anyone we know that is going to Maine. Aug 2004, the Haig Family, Massachussetts. Hi Robin, just a note to let you know just how happy my wife and I were with your CLEAN motel. We selected your motel strictly due to your website. On the site it portrayed a "family" feeling there and we were NOT disappointed in the least! From the moment we arrived to when we left, we felt very special and we just wanted to thank you for that feeling you generated to us. We will certainly be recommending you to all of our friends who may be coming up to visit us this summer as well! Thanks again. Feb 2004 - Lorraine and Kenny Hicks,Director Emergency Management, Coventry Ct Robin & Alan, Thank you for taking such good care of me during my stay with you. The little touches and "make yourself at home" feeling I got made my stay memorable. Oct. 2003 - Tomi H. - Houlton, ME Robin - We didnt have a good time we had a GREAT time. Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable, use of the canoe was like icing on the cake and the 12 fish we caught in Thomas Pond was like the candles. Eric of Fatbass was also GREAT and we would not have caught the fish without his advice. If we are able to make it back to Maine next year "book the room" Thanks again. Sept 2003, Tom Nevius - N.J. How nice of you to send a "thank you" note. You have a REALLY nice motel and setting, your rooms are wonderful and super clean, and the personal involvement of you and your husband to assure customer satisfaction is a credit to you both. God willing we will be back! July 2003 - Bary and Margee, Glen Rock, NJ Thanks for your kindness. You guys treat people nice. I can't say that for every place we stayed on our trip. Keep up the good work. We would deffinately come back. July 2003 - Joeseph E. Uri. We enjoyed our one night stay and wish we could have stayed longer at your motel this past July. George loved the running trail you recommended on Hawthorne Rd. It was lovely. Paul and I had fun canoeing on the pond. We're back in Kansas now, already dreaming about the next Maine vacation. We will book very early in order to get more than 1 night at Alyssas next year! July 2003, George, Paul, Crystal, Kansas City, MO Robin, we stopped in at your Motel Oct. 6th, 2002 and you called around to try to find us a room. We just wanted to thank you for all your help. You were very kind. We did find a motel in Augusta, Maine. We probably got one of the last rooms. Thanks again for all your kindness. E. Potterf - Fall 2002 "Robin: I enjoyed my week at your clean, quiet, and comfortable motel. The recommendations for "rides" in the area were spectacular. The view from "the hill top" was beyond belief and beyond words. All of the restaurants you suggested were excellent. Thank the girls for the freshly picked apples! The cinnamon pancakes at Chute's will be long remembered. Your hospitality was gracious and I will recommend Alyssa's to anyone going to the Lakes region and I hope to return again next year.

For me, that means a lot. I will be sure to spend time at your Motel, "Home away from Home", the next time I travel to the Lakes Region in Maine. Thanks for everything, say hi to the kids for us" J. O. - Boston - Summer 2002 "Robin and Alan, We wanted to once again thank you for your wonderful hospitality during our vacation last week. The rooms were just lovely and your timely recommendations were so on-the-spot. The book of local restaurants and attractions really helped us to plan our time. As I'm sure you could tell, the kids were just "over the moon" about the fishing and canoeing. All four of us agreed that it was the "best vacation ever", and the kids asked all the way home if we could come back next year. Thank you for helping to make our stay so relaxing. Best Regards," The Tucker Family - Summer 2002 "My stay was splendid! The room super comfy! Thank you so very much!" Catherine Vickery - Executive Director, Windham Chamber of Commerce Spring 2001 "We just wanted to say thank you for your hospitality. We really enjoyed it here. Good luck to you with your new business. You will do just great! See you in the future and may God bless you and yours." David and Donna Truman, newlyweds - Spring 2001 "Just a note to say how much we enjoyed our stay at your motel. We knew the rooms would be very good and there would be a friendly atmosphere from our brief visit last year, but the lake and the canoes were a surprise and a real bonus! We hope to be back next year with more time to relax. We have passed on your information to our organization (BUNAC) as Alyssas Motel is the ideal place for a base when camp visiting in Maine."
