About Us:
Since my wife, Andrea, & I got married in 1993, we always had a goal of owning a log home. This became reality in 2011, purchasing a contemporary & elegant log home in Bridgton, ME...The "Ski Hive" Luxury Mountain Log Home Trailside at Shawnee Peak Ski Area. We fell in love with this area, so we decided to launch our own vacation rental home business. In 2015 we purchased a second rustic, real lincoln log luxury mountain log home in Brownfield, ME (borders Conway, NH). "The Hive" Log Home at Birch Ridge Estate is 15 miles from Shawnee Peak. Next, in the summer of 2017, we purchased "The Hive" Lake View At Stone Mnt Lodge. This property, also in Brownfield, is only 3 miles away from "The Hive" at Birch Ridge. This boasts a large amount of private land (20 Acres) & sits high above our 100 ft waterfront area with incredible lake & mountain views. In 2019 we added The Hive Newly Renovated Chic Farmhouse & Wedding Barn. This 7 bedroom farmhouse is located on abundance of land and is host to beautiful, country-themed weddings. Our most recent purchase is "The Hive" Log Home at White Mnts View. "The Hive" arsenal of Luxury Log, Lake & Farm Homes of Western Maine is like none other & near and dear to our hearts. We hope to share some of our joy with you!
