-About Us-

Maynard’s In Maine was founded in 1919 by Walter Maynard. Walter came to find his dream of running a sportsman’s camp by sheer fate, after meeting a man by the last name of Wilson. Mr. Wilson showed Walter the life of a Maine Guide, which would later lead Walter to not only start his own guide business, but his own Maine cabin rentals. 

Twelve out of the thirteen cabins are original to the campground. While Walter himself built most, the aid of a few friends - and anyone who could pound a nail straight, got the job done. It has been known that some were even built in a day or two. Originally established as “The Firs", the main lodge was sadly destroyed in a fire. After rebuilding, the new lodge and business would then receive the name of “Maynard’s In Maine".

After running Maynard's for 32 years, Walter passed away leaving his business to his son Roger. Roger would then head Maynard’s for 45 years until he too passed, leaving the establishment to his only son William. William and his wife, Gail, continued operations until his passing in 2024.

In March of 2025, Maynard’s In Maine was acquired by the Gallant Family of Augusta, ME. With a love for the northern outdoors, and more importantly: Rockwood, it is a privilege to revive this beloved Maine legacy back to its original glory. In the months to come, new and improved accommodation will be phased in. Be certain to follow along as we keep all apprised of our progress. We look forward to building additional memories in years to come.
