Property is situated directly on the Machias River. It is a beautiful setting with outdoor seating directly out the sliding doors of your room. Direct room access from your car is a plus.

Great value with a beautiful view

We had a clean, spacious room with two large beds and a beautiful river view outside our sliding doors in back. The sheets were crisp and the bathroom was very clean, with plenty of hot water for our showers. The restaurant across the parking lot served an excellent dinner. The inn’s gift shop is a great bonus! We will certainly stay here again.

We loved being on the river sitting outside. The changing of the tide was neat to watch with water going out and then the river filling back up again.
