 we are located on the banks of the Sandy River.  The Sandy River is a free-flowing river that begins in the mountains of Western Maine and meanders through  our college town of Farmington where  you can  enjoy specialty shops and get a bite to eat at one of the  many restaurants.  We are about a 45 minute drive to Smalls Fall near the beginning of the Sandy River and has a series of five drops  ( waterfalls) through a narrow gorge that challenge extreme kayakers.  It's truly a sight to see . No worries if you're not into extreme kayaking  you can drop a tube in the river near you campsite for a lazy day float down stream. Just a little FYI  you may want to keep an eye out.....there's gold in them there rivers.   Learn more about this land:  Picturesque views  of mountains and rivers.   we are located on the banks of the Sandy River.  The Sandy River is a free-flowing river that begins in the mountains of Western Maine and meanders through  our college town of Farmington where  you can  enjoy specialty shops and get a bite to eat at one of the  many restaurants.  We are about a 45 minute drive to Smalls Fall near the beginning of the Sandy River and has a series of five drops  ( waterfalls) through a narrow gorge that challenge extreme kayakers.  It's truly a sight to see .

Super accommodating hosts! Beautiful secluded spot on the Sandy river . Farmington for breakfast, farmers market & shopping. Short ride to a waterfall & plenty of antiques! Not an especially quiet spot with the road nearby but we didn’t mind that ! :) thank you!!
