Property was described as an inn with breakfast when it was actually a B&B. The room was very small for 3 people. Nice location and host.

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!

Thank you to the inn keeper Connie and her family for a wonderful taste of New England hospitality. Hopefully I'll get to come back and visit again The inn is clean and well taken care of even though the house was built in 1848. Breakfast chats with other guests and the inn keeper was a highlight of the stay. Would highly recommend!

Great location!

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful inn. Connie was very helpful and easy to reach with questions. She gave us a choice on what we wanted for breakfast and it was delicious. We felt like we had gone back in time and could see that it was well maintained. It's just 2 blocks to LL Bean, so we could walk to it and many other stores and restaurants. Great stay!

Room was nice and clean. Breakfast was good. The only downside was the bathroom shower was extremely small. A joke was even made about not dropping the soap. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Nice stay.

Loved our stay. The bed was so comfortable and the breakfast was the best I’ve had in a long time. My husband struggled a little with the angled ceiling and lower shower rod due to his height.
