The Northwoods Compound is conveniently situated between Acadia National Park and Baxter State Park. Our guests can easily take advantage of both extrordinary experiences during their visit. Both an easy 90 minute drive. I’m also providing a list of other suggestions to research. If you want to hike, there’s all kinds of that nearby. There is antiquing in this region.
