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.

It was the icing on our trip
Our stay was just wonderful. The house is beautifully restored and very comfortable. It has a front porch with comfortable chairs that over looks the water. It has a very comfortable lounge arrive with comfy large leather chairs. And the cooked to order is just delicious. Finally I must say the inn keepers Ginny and Lori are warm and welcoming.

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.

Captain Sweetser's Inn was the highlight of our vacation. Lori and Ginny are very thoughtful and full of information on the history of their property and the community. Lori guided us to some excellent restaurants. The Inn is very clean and comfortable and the breakfast was perfect.
