When you plan your stay in this beautiful Wells-Ogunquit area, how about an affordable motel with 5 Star service!  Unheard of!  It's here in Moody, Maine!  The Wells-Ogunquit Resort Motel has always concentrated on their guests' requests for service and value.  That's the philosophy that the founders, Joe & Jean Proach, based their dream on for the Wells-Ogunquit Resort Motel.  You are invited to stay and try their infamous "Maine Picnic Breakfast" with a generous assortment that is sure to please all ... plus clean, comfortable, and affordable rooms complete with refrigerators and microwave ovens, BBQ  grills and gas stoves, outdoor heated pool and a toddler playground.

Located at 203 Post Rd US Rte 1 in Moody right in the middle of the two towns Wells & Ogunquit, you can easily walk, trolley ride or bike to either Ogunquit or Wells beach!

Jean Proach learned the Hotel/Motel  business  first  hand when she was hired by a New England based resort to facilitate the conversion of the resort to a time share in the early eighties.  Her husband Joe was a building contractor who built his first home at age 14.  Joe and Jean summered in Maine with their two sons for 20 years before developing the Wells-Ogunquit Resort Motel in Moody, Maine.

As a contractor Joe Proach dreamed of building something board by board that would stay in the family and provide a nice career for his sons and their children.  The dream became reality when together with his wife Jean, his Dad, Peter, and two sons Peter & George they purchased the land in Moody and started building in 1983.  The Motel construction started each Spring and continued until the tourists came; each year more rooms were added.  The dream continued and now has prospered for 18 years.   Joe passed away in 1993 but the fruits of his labors live on!  The Motel has now grown to a 48 room facility run by Jean, Peter and his wife Sarah along with their 2 children, providing a "family friendly" atmosphere that couples and families love to come back to!

Serving up breakfast every morning from 8:00-10:00 for 15 years, Jean Proach has greeted and visited with the guests over coffee and a delicious selection of raspberry, cinnamon, carrot and apple pastries, white & wheat toast, English muffins, Cheddar cheese, fresh melon, and Jean's grandmother's secret recipe for Canadian baked sugar beans!  All complimentary!
