Quisisana Resort

"THE ENTERTAINMENT IS DIVERSE AND EXCELLENT. AT 11 am children can see musical or plays.Then at 9 pm musical or plays. The waiters are the performers. Great food served at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The cottages are recently upgraded clean, screened in porch. I enjoyed the lake for swimming and kayaking. WI-FI ONLY available at office and large deck outside. MEANS MORE CONVERSATION, READING AND talking with other guests."

"I wish there were more than 5 stars I could assign to this special magical resort. It starts with the location on gorgeous Lake Kezar in Maine - with crystal clear water, the mountains in your view, and the lovely beach to lounge on or launch your choice of water sports from! There is everything you might need right there at the resort - on top of the beach there is a game room, amazing lodge, mini-golf, tennis, shuffleboard, volleyball, a playground etc..... Next, there is the food - this resort is a foodie paradise. With three meals a day included in your booking, all from a top chef and staff, you will be well fed with NYC level meals throughout your stay. The seafood buffet night, the lobster dinner, the lamb, the duck, the steaks, the amazing lunches in the dining room or at the beachside patio, and the full breakfasts including their amazing waffles - are all top notch! The cabins are in lovely locations in the woods or at the lake, well appointed for cabins, with air-conditioning and full bathrooms. (There is no WIFI and TV in cabins which really helps you relax and connect with the experience!) Finally, the shows - oh my goodness the shows! The artists that work at the resort (and they do work - they wait on tables, staff the beach etc) all are top talent who would be at home on a Broadway or MET stage in any production. From the welcome show to the closing night of Arias the performances are just completely over the top! They feature two broadway level plays (one kids during the day and one at night), two full operas (one kids during the day and one at night), a cabaret night, piano night, chamber music night and of course the lovely sounds you catch at times during the day of hugely talented voices practicing! This place is a GEM that you will come to time and time again as you become part of the Quisi family!"

"I've driven through a few times while in the area, and everytime it has been very nicely kept and had incredible views in every direction. It's very obvious the staff work very hard to provide their guests & workers a wonderful experience during their time at the resort. Highly recommend anyone looking for a getaway during the summertime to give this spot a try, as places like this demonstrate exactly how Maine earned it's title--"Vacationland!""

"This resort is magical - what an amazing experience. From check in to check out the staff is kind, engaged and goes above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. Each guest has their own cabin that are nicely outfitted with comfortable beds, many with nice living rooms, all with porches, air conditioning and refrigerators making the accommodations so much nicer than a standard hotel room. The food is outstanding, each day at breakfast you are given the lunch and dinner menus and you can choose your meals and there are plenty of options - all 5 star food choices daily and the food served here rivaled that of a high end restaurant in NYC. Service of the meals is handled by the very same performers who are the true stars of the stay as they perform nightly in a collection of fantastic performances including a Broadway play, chamber music, opera, cabaret, piano, and even two children's shows are held during the day to introduce the kids to the experience (they are also welcome at night but smaller kids get tired so this is a nice accommodation for parents) The beach is lovely with a sand beach, plentiful loungers and umbrellas as well as kayaks, paddleboards, canoes, water skiing, lake tours, and power boats. There is also mini-golf, tennis, shuffleboard, horseshoes and many other outdoor activities. Finally for those who need to stay connected there is great wifi service in the main lodge and even a "zoomroom" if you absolutely have to do that critical meeting from here - but let's hope you just can disconnect that's part of the magic of a stay here."

"Quisisana is one of the most exceptional, unique places I have ever visited. Quisisana has an inexplicable power to help one relax and rejuvenate all at once. The location in Maine, on a pristine lake, is visually spectacular. Daytime activities are plentiful but optional. The activities reminded me of my joyful childhood days at summer camp. In the evening you are treated to an evening of Broadway Musicals, Chamber Music, Opera, Piano Concertos, or Vocal Performances, performed by up and coming or established performers. Delicious gourmet meals are served on white tablecloths. Cabins are beautiful, air-conditioned, with gorgeous views of the lake and sunsets. Each interaction with the staff convinces you that they are there to make your week as enjoyable and relaxing as possible. I have traveled around the world, but Quisisana is now my preferred choice for an easily planned, enriching, healing, active or relaxing vacation. A perfect week!!"
