Lincoln Hill Farms — Local services in Town of Gorham

Great venue! Beautiful location! Great sound! I would have left a 5 star rating but the security at such a small venue was not cool. They made my wife put her basically empty purse back in the car while I walked in with cargo shorts with stuff in every pocket and wasn't patted down or anything. We immediately spent 100 dollars at the merch booth right in front of the entrance and I asked security if I could put the records and merch in the car (which we could see from where we were standing) since my wife no longer had her bag to hold the stuff we just bought. I was told no reentry. So it would have been another 65+ dollars to come back in. I had another patron approach me and told me they wouldn't let him put the posters he just bought in his car either so it was a reallybad initial impression of the venue. There were less than 100 cars in the parking lot and no line to get in. During the set break after the first band security saw me and told me she had asked the owner and I could put the merch in my car. This made my night much better so I could dance without holding or watching over the merch. I was greatful they made things right. One other suggestion is if you have a cheaper domestic beer option (not even that cheap at $9 a pint) annd another couple options besides just Bud Light. Maybe a Labatts or Genessee. I hope they loosen up a bit in the future and just use common sense security. I would guess a more relaxed vibe would increase their ticket sales for these types of shows. I look forward to going back for another show. I hope this was just a one off with new staff members being strictly...

My boyfriend, knowing I use to own a farm, surprised me with a trip down memory lane to this place. I have to admit the meal that was prepared was very good and the atmosphere, very down to earth and homey. The views were spectacular, and the young couple who worked there, were very sweet and innocent. We ended up taking them out to music and bowling, since they had been stranded there for 5 days, with no car. Here are a few downfalls, which will make me think twice before doing this again, and I feel others should be warned is...

1. There was no tv in our room...One upstairs that no one knew how to work.
2. Owners (she wasn't that friendly) not so desirable younger boyfriend (visiting) who looked like a loser, went into our locked room while we were out with the young couple and HE STOLE my lap top's battery cord, and my grey beanie, I had just washed, and God knows what else. Or it could have been the not so friendly renter she had upstairs...who knows. So what if they give you a key to lock your room, I'm sure they all have extras!!!
3. With so many people in the house and the Airbnb guest bedroom being by the kitchen, we were woken up both mornings around 7:00 am, to someone unloading the dishwasher, and cooking, and then everyone congregating in the kitchen. Kind of hard to be intimate with people you can hear outside your door.
4. The view outside our window was one of a HUGE MESSED UP PILE OF WOOD and other items laying around...??? Why doesn't she get her workers to clean that up...

Update: now my second show driving 3 hrs to this venue. First off I love it. It’s so quaint and unique. And as packed as it can get you can still easily find your way around. They weren’t super strict about not tailgating before gates open ASAP THEY SHOULD BE! ppl pay good money and drive far to support your business. Ease up and let them enjoy themselves!!!But overall super cool intimate venue, beautiful grounds! Was so blessed to see my fav artist of all time xavier rudd here!! And sooooo close! Unreal how unique this was. I drove 3 hours from Erie. They had ample porta johns and even a trailer John (the nicer ones) I’m disappointed they charge $10 to park too though. Cause there’s nowhere else to park aside from ubering in. Craft beers were $12 so not terrible I suppose. Would be 5 stars if it wasn’t for upcharge in parking. Maybe $5 suffices but 10 come on now. Make your money from beer. I guess they’re pretty strict on tailgating too but no one gave me or the neighbor friends I made a hard time. Overall lovely venue. The movement show was wayyyy oversold! There were lines everywhere! I was joking with ppl saying “welcome to Lincoln lines!” lol they really need to open that back area up by the pavilion as a second bar with just canned beer OR send some staff along the perimeter with beers in a dang ice cooler and sell out of that. It’s not that hard. Yall are losing out on soooo much money it’s not even funny. I wasn’t waiting an hour...
