Rangeley Town & Lake

The motel underwent renovation in about 2022, so it has updated decor. Definitely fits in with the trend of upcycled motels! My room was very spacious with two queen (or double) beds, and a small studio kitchen (stovetop, microwave, fridge, sink, coffee maker, minimal supplies for basic cooking). There was plenty of room to stash bags or gear so that it doesn't take up floor space. Wall hooks just inside the door are perfect for winter jackets. You park in front of your room, and can then access the large grassy grounds between the motel and the lake from sliding glass doors. There are two chairs and a small table outside each set of sliders. One thing I appreciated is that the room had two layers of curtains -- sheers to let in light but block sun glare, and black-out curtains. Everything seemed suitably clean, although like almost all motels and hotels, nooks and crannies don't get cleaned regularly enough. In my case, being a bit of a spider-phobe, and my visit occurring during still-warm weather, there were some populated spider webs over the exterior front door, and a web or two up under the curtain valance. Many people wouldn't be bothered by this. I asked the manager on duty to sweep down the webs at 8:30 at night, and he did. The motel is located on the main road/highway through town, but I was not bothered at all by noise. While my visit was on weekdays and in September, I've been to Rangely enough in other months to know that road noise is not usually a problem. What's nice is that a 5-10 minute walk will get you to the town park, restaurants, a few shops. This IS Rangely, and it's not a jumping place, but that's why I love it.

Great stay. Nothing fancy but all you need. Clean and well kept. Fully stocked kitchenette. Great location overlooking lake and close to restaurants. Owner and family were helpful and friendly. Greet quality and value. No hesitation to stay here again.

Very clean. Recently updated with a kitchenette and large refrigerator, along with a toaster oven and all of the utensils you may need (including a wine bottle opener). Decor is very cute with a woodsy/bear theme. Beautiful views from the room towards the lake. Would definitely go back again!!

Our family vacationed in Rangley in the lates 60's until 1977 and mostly at the Town and Lake Motel. My last trip there with my parents and sister was 1977. We always stayed in the cabins and went back because they were clean and the owners always made us feel welcome. So this past week I went with my wife and we stayed in a motel unit, and after 47 years since my last visit this was going to be a mini vacation. Another generation of the family runs the establishment and the service was as great as I remember from many years ago. The motel room, didn't feel like a motel room but rather a guest room at a friends (or families) residence. The room decor was tastefully Maine themed, from the bed comforters to the dishware in the kitchenette to the framed prints on the wall. A large micro wave oven, a large stove top in the counter, a large toaster oven and a Keurig coffee maker, plus much more was essentially everything you needed to be comfortable. The room had patio doors leading to a deck that offered a great view of the lake for relaxing in a chair enjoying morning coffee or an evening beverage. I am glad I took a trip back in time to when I was younger and enjoyed the accommodations and the little town. I am already planning on going back next year and spending more time at the Town and Lake, and perhaps convince my son and his family to join us.

Friendly owner of an ideally located lake front motel in Rangeley, Maine. Our updated and well stocked room was perfect for our Memorial weekend vacation. Sliders lead to the back deck where you can enjoy the lake. We will return! Thank you!

Joe and Cheryl were born with hearts of gold to still be in the hospitality business for over 40 years. Raising their family, and now 6 grandchildren in Rangeley has proven they are growing their angel wings too. This motel, built in 1954 by Joe's father, is a step back in time. The family cabins on Rangeley Lake make this a very special place to stay. Rustic and simple, these cabins offer the basics in a setting so lovely you win't want to leave. John is the on site construction go-to guy, and he is methodically renovating one room, one cabin at a time to upgrade the motel with modern kitchens, bathrooms, and furnishings, along with A/C for next summer. But if you like the old fashioned cabin feel, hopefully they will leave one to rent that will always be a tribute to his father who has this vision 70 years ago to provide a priceless setting on Rangeley Lake for everyone to enjoy. We give everyone 5 stars for effort and kindness too! Thank you to all for making cur stay in Rangeley so memorable. We will be back next year! Debbie and Gene, Philadelphia

This was a great choice while visiting the Rangeley area! The owners were so friendly and accommodating! The room was recently refreshed and well appointed, with a smart utilization of space so all our recreational equipment was easily stored. The kitchenette was stocked with all the basics, a great range top , microwave, toaster oven and Keurig. The TV was HUGE! Our 18 foot Boston Whaler was made welcome and there is a boat launch and dock for guests. Best of all was the fabulous view of the lake, just steps away, and the grandkids loved the little playground. Couldn’t ask for anything more.
