The river remembers
every soul that slows down

The Lodge

A Gathering Place That Feels Like Home

The lodge is where the day winds down — a great fire in the stone hearth, mugs of something warm, and the sound of the river just beyond the windows. Whether you're joining a cabin guest or staying in the lodge rooms, this is the heart of Aweigh Downeast.

Our communal dining room serves a hearty breakfast each morning and a seasonal evening meal when requested. It's not a hotel routine — it's how we like to do it.

What to Do

The Kennebec Doesn't Rush — and Neither Should You

From kayaking at dawn to campfires under a blanket of stars, the best parts of a Maine stay aren't scheduled.

Kayaking on the Kennebec River at sunrise

River Kayaking

Paddle the Kennebec at your own pace — wildlife, bends, and quiet eddies all around.

Fly fishing in the Kennebec River

Fly Fishing

The Kennebec is one of Maine's premier trout and salmon rivers. We can help you get set up.

Forest trail through Maine woods

Forest Trails

Miles of private and public trails through old-growth forest, berry patches, and summit views.

Campfire at night under the stars in Maine

Campfire Evenings

Gather around the fire pit with s'mores, good company, and the kind of silence you can't find anywhere else.

We came for a long weekend and left feeling like we'd rediscovered something we'd forgotten — that slowing down isn't lazy, it's necessary.
