The Boathouse Bistro Romantic Private Lakeside Dining on Tripp Lake near Portland Maine

Nestled directly on the serene waters of Tripp Lake, the Boathouse Bistro Culinary Cove offers an authentic Maine lakeside dining experience like no other less than an hour from Portland. This cherished part of our property, originally built in the late 1800s by the pioneering Wolf Family, has been lovingly revitalized to combine rustic charm with modern elegance, thanks to our partnership with Coastal Construction and Design.
