A Beloved and Luxurious Resort on The Coast of Maine

Winter at Samoset
Winter getaways at Samoset prove that Maine isn’t called Vacationland just because of the summer and fall. From our Winter Weekend Getaway Package to our winter activities, you’ll find that there’s plenty to do in Maine during the winter. Come cross country ski around the golf course, go bowling and explore local art in town, and cozy up for s’mores around the fireplace on your family vacation.
Glacier Ice Bar 2026
Join us for our most highly anticipated event of the winter – our Glacier Ice Bar weekends. Come chill with us January 16-18 & January 23-24 where you’ll experience a landscape of ice carvings and special cocktails. Our theme this year is the Frozen Age, so you can expect the return of dinosaurs to the midcoast and tons of thematic fun.
Overnight guests will receive free admission to the event and enjoy a full array of accompanying weekend activities.
