Boston is just a couple of hours to the south and can be accessed by car, train or bus.

Lewiston Region: Maine's second largest city, Lewiston and the city of Auburn sit on the banks of the Androscoggin River.

Together the cities, L/A as it is referred to locally, form the cultural and business center of Androscoggin County.

The town is nestled among many of the state's most scenic lakes and offers a variety of year-round outdoor recreation activities, as well as easy access to some of the area's most significant historical and cultural sites, as well as the Atlantic coast beaches. Ski enthusiasts, in particular, will love this area for its ski slopes -these unique ski slopes, created by the townspeople in the 1930's, spell the word "LOVE".
