We visited Sky Lodge in late September 2021. The trees were just beginning to turn and a chill was in the air. At the top of a hill just north of Jackman on the Old Canada Road (Route 201) we caught our first glimpse of the lodge, its white-painted, cut-log ends protruding from the corners of the building. The setting is grand. The lodge sits in the middle of acres of open lawns, by an old grassy runway that used to bring guests after the lodge's opening in 1929. The views are stunning. You feel as though you are on top of the world. Entering the lodge after being welcomed by a carved wooden moose you are taken back in time. The lodge's massive wooden beams and staircases are authentic. Someone has taken very good care of the place for the past century. When we visited, the lodge itself was only available for groups that could book most or all of its rooms and Casey, the onsite manager, was having difficulty finding hires due to the pandemic. We stayed in a nice room in the annex attached to the lodge. It had front and back doors and included a kitchenette. We could imagine cross country skiing from the back door and keeping our skis on the porch. Getting food was no problem. Jackman center has a couple of options less than 2 miles down route 201. There are several trails in the woods behind the lodge we would love to ski on. Among the other attractions are: a barn full of old cars and another containing model railroads. This is an eclectic place. If you want a memorable experience, you can't go wrong at Unity...
Read more5-Star Stay at Unity Sky Lodge, Jackman, ME We had an unforgettable weekend getaway at Unity Sky Lodge in Jackman, ME, and it truly lived up to its reputation as a gem in the Maine wilderness. The lodge itself is magnificent—rustic elegance meets modern comfort, with stunning views that make it the perfect spot for unwinding. Those beautiful sunsets over the surrounding mountains offered many photo opportunities ; we watched them from the lodge deck as the sky turned hues of orange and pink. One of our favorite highlights was cozying up by the grand lobby’s fireplace. The massive stone fireplace, surrounded by plush seating and warm lighting, created such an inviting atmosphere. It was the ideal way to end each day, sharing stories and relaxing after exploring the area. The hospitality from Josh was outstanding—he went above and beyond to make our stay special. Not only did he greet us with genuine warmth and insider tips on local sights and hikes, but he also treated us to a private tour of the lodge’s antique car collection. Seeing those beautifully restored classics up close was a thrill for car enthusiasts like us. The cherry on top was the incredible model train exhibit. We will definitely stay here again when in the area. Oh and we saw several Moose. Unity Sky Lodge is a must-visit for anyone seeking luxury, history, and heartfelt service in the heart of Maine’s backcountry. We’ll be back soon—five stars...
Read moreWe booked this place because we attended a wedding 20 mins away and we live over two hours away from this area. We weren’t much worried about amenities as we were basically just going to sleep there after the wedding and leave in the morning. Also, it was the last option for us to book in the area even a month or two out so I didn’t pay attention to any amenities again. I’ve never written a bad review on a hotel or restaurant but I’ve never been so unhappy with an experience that I paid good money for before. When we returned from the wedding to just go to sleep, our took was so hot that I could barely tolerate it. There was no ACs, and not even a fan for us to use in our room. We slept with the windows open which didn’t help a bit and I was awake all night long tossing and turning and sweating. Also should mention there was no fridge in our room or cups for water and I literally had to drink water from my hand from the faucet. Very disappointed and never slept so poorly in a hotel before. This place would be beautiful in the winter but just did not make the cut on a...
