A Family Tradition Since 1919...

Our hearts go out to the Bennet and Holdtman families who own and operate Aimhi Lodge on Little Sebago Lake in Windham.  The recent "Nor'easter" which did so much damage in Maine (which thankfully spared us at Migis...) had a devastating impact on their resort, and after spending two weeks assessing the damage (which included the destruction of their electrical system, many trees down, and severe damage to two of the cottages) they made the heart wrenching decision to cease operations.  Since 1919, Aimhi has been welcoming guests to a property in many ways similar to Migis Lodge.  Guests stayed in cottages with names like What Not & Hoot Owl, Naughty Pine & Waldorf, and enjoyed family style meals in the Dining Room, and lakeside Lobster Bakes.  Aimhi's cove on Little Sebago was great for swimming, boating, and fishing, and the resort had har-tru tennis courts and shuffleboard for more active guests.  Susan Bennett has been in contact with Tim and Joan who are helping to try to find vacation spots for Aimhi's displaced guests.   It is always sad to see a business close and we are sure that no one would have imagined that our wonderful neighbor would close its doors in this way.  Good luck and best wishes to The Bennetts, The Holdmans, and all Aimhi guests and friends.

I Do!

I do enjoy the weddings we host here at Migis Lodge. A wedding ceremony overlooking Sebago Lake creates memories which last a lifetime. Nicole and Matt were 2007's first Bride and Groom and they had a spectacular wedding weekend - blue skies and great springtime temperatures. The Bride and her bridesmaids looked beautiful sailing into the ceremony on the Tykona, our 1935 wooden Cris-Craft vessel. After the lakeside ceremony wedding guests enjoy an hour cocktail reception with passed and stationary appetizers followed by 4 hours of dinner and dancing in the Dining Room. It is all capped off with a delicious wedding cake prepared especially for the Bride and Groom by Dennis, our Pastry Chef. Guests enjoy over night accommodations in one of our 36 cottages or 6 lodge rooms, each with a private fieldstone fireplace. Brides, Grooms, their families and friends always leave feeling that Migis was a truly special place to celebrate!
