I stayed there last year and really liked it. Will you guys be open this summer?

[Everyday Hiker]

They will be returning to Maine in early May and will be open this summer.

I wish Bill & Linda well. Enjoyed my stay there in '05 and I hope whoever buys it continues to make WH Landing available to hikers.

Those cheeseburgers Linda makes are legendary. Hopefully the tradition will continue !!

[Blissful]

Was there this past summer, great folks and wow what a burger and pizza.

[OliveOil]

That place saved me in the 100 mile wilderness in '09.

Wish I could snatch up this place.

We stayed there this past August. It was great. The cheeseburger and the pizza were awesome. And of course the pancake breakfast was superb. I wish Bill and Linda the best.

First of all we would like to thank all the hikers we have had the pleasure to meet over the past 13 years.This decision to sell was not an easy one.WHL has been the best experience of our lives and will be missed for the rest of our lives.The biggest factor in our decision is the education of our son Ben.Year round schooling is a must for him to be able to achieve his dreams,whatever they may be.Showing up two months late won't cut it.Especially as highschool nears.We want WHL to remain a hiker oriented business just like it has been since 1999 and during the early days of the AT in the 30's and 40's.We will be open this season and maybe the next who knows how long it may take to find the right buyer.an appraisal will be done this spring when we return from Florida.That way we will have an idea of a price that will work for us.Again thanks to all our hiker freinds who have made the place so enjoyable for us.

So do you live there year round??

[Chomp09]

Any update on this, is the property still on the market? If so, what asking price was determined?

We ordered a pizza and Linda sent Bill out to the garden to pick fresh veggies for the toppings. I know some places claim "fresh ingredients", but when you see the dough being made from scratch and the topping being put on that were picked from the vine 3 minutes ago, that is fresh.

Best pizza I had on the Trail was at White House Landing -- Bear and I stayed there finishing our AT thru-hikes in the latter half of a very cold October.

Hiker friendly?

No, you can't charge your phone, and no, you can't eat unless you pay for an overnight.

Just reporting what my SOBO friends are telling me.

[SouthMark]

Yes you can charge your phone or more accurately Linda will take it to thee house and charge it at night for you. And you can eat if you are not staying the night. For those staying the night breakfast is included in the price. This is how it was in 2010 when I was there.

I would like to add that it was as hiker friendly as any other place that I stopped.

Maybe it depends on who you ask? The wife is very friendly, but the husband can be a bit of a dick if you are not staying the night and dropping some cash. I've noticed this pattern from personal experience and talking to other hikers on the trail.
