Host was very kind and welcoming! Historic building was beautiful and quaint. Room had everything you could need and the cutest lobster made of towels. The handmade breakfast was nice! Check in and checkout were easy and smooth also. So close to the downtown area, we were able to walk to see everything! Great stay.

Only traveling through for one night so the location just off the highway and yet in quiet, lovely setting was perfect. We enjoyed being able to take lovely walks in the evening and the next morning and even got in a bit of shopping. Dinner options were plentiful and close. My one suggestion, for those traveling, is to start breakfast service a bit earlier than 8:00 AM.

LIKE COMING HOME TO FAMILY

A very special place and owner in an historic Maine town. Connie met us after hours in her pristine B&B, offered us tea after our long trip, and made us feel like family immediately. Charming room and amazing breakfast. We'll be back!
