I loved staying in a home built in 1850 by a Captain who earned his living from the sea while surrounded by an economy supported by the sea. The hosts and guests were marvelous and interesting to meet. Everything was perfect including the location ... easily going north to Bar Habor and south to other attractions.

Lori and Ginny are wonderfully helpful and friendly. Their inn is truly one of a kind. It's history is fascinating. I slept in the bedroom of a sea captain that sailed from Maine to Asia just like the father of in The Lupine Lady ( a picture book by Barbara Cooney)

Our family’s stay at Captain Sweetser’s Inn was wonderful. We were kindly welcomed upon arrival and given a tour of the historic mansion. Our room was immaculately clean, the beds comfortable, and the breakfast delicious. Our 13-year-old still raves about the breakfast. And the view of the bay from the beautifully maintained property grounds is excellent.
