The inn is full of charm, history, and character, and you can tell how much love and care George and Matt have put into preserving this beautiful place. Every room and every little detail has a story. What really makes this place special, though, is the hospitality. George and Matt make you feel less like a guest and more like an old friend who's come to visit. The rooms are cozy and comfortable, the breakfasts are incredible, and the whole experience feels warm, welcoming, and unforgettable. We left already talking about when we could come back. If you're thinking about booking a stay, don't overthink it--just do it. You won't regret it.

Food was well executed, although a bit light on some key ingredients (e.g. beet salad with very scant beets, roasted veg risotto with scant veg). A nice surprise was farro available for the risotto. Service was good, albeit a bit too young & effervescent. A fine, classy place for dinner.

I had a wonderful romantic weekend here…read more We stayed in the Elizabeth room which was the perfect fit for 2. The bed was comfy and the standalone bathtub was a fun addition. The breakfast was amazing. We enjoyed both the French toast with praline topping and the eggs Florentine accompanied by pound cake and fruit. The waitress was very friendly and eagerly accommodated our request to eat breakfast outside. The grounds of the inn are gorgeous. There is a perfectly manicured lawn which leads straight to the ocean. For me, this area holds particular significance as it is where I got engaged! The inn is reasonably close to Bar Harbor / Acadia as well as local wineries and hikes. I would definitely recommend Captain Nickels Inn to anyone looking for a classy getaway in Midcoast Maine.

The place is super cozy and rustic - all dark wood, fire places, etc. We had no expectations going in and we were very happy with the food and the service. The chef came by and even sat down with us for a bit to give us some dining recommendations while we were in Maine - he also happened to be from or once lived in NJ like us. We each had an order of the gumbo and shared a side of onion rings. The gumbo was tasty and the perfect portion. The onion rings were also really good with the dipping sauce. We decided to share a piece of blueberry cheesecake before we hit the road and had zero regrets. It was a really pleasant meal and I would recommend this restaurant if you are in Searsport.

Homeport Tavern has fallen so far in the last six months it should honestly file a missing persons…read morereport for its former self. The menu shrank, the quality tanked, and the prices shot up like they're trying to qualify for a Michelin star through sheer confidence. The mussels appetizer was... geological. There was so much sand in them my husband stopped eating for fear of cracking a tooth. When your seafood doubles as dental shrapnel, something has gone very wrong. Then came the special of the day: fettuccine with mussels, shrimp, andouille sausage, peppers, artichokes, and capers -- which arrived in the exact same broth as the mussels appetizer, complete with the exact same bread crusts perched on top like a practical joke. It genuinely felt like they took the leftover broth from our appetizer, tossed in noodles and whatever ingredients were within arm's reach, and called it a "special." The only special thing about it was the audacity. My husband's house made Caesar with "blackened" chicken was another plot twist. The chicken wasn't blackened; it was just overcooked grilled chicken wearing the name "blackened" like a fake ID. The dressing tasted store‑bought -- the shelf‑stable kind you buy when you've given up -- which is not what anyone expects from something advertised as house made. Our friends' cheeseburger tasted like it came straight from a freezer box, and the bun had all the personality of a dinner roll from a school cafeteria. Honestly, the cafeteria comparison is unfair -- cafeterias at least know they're cafeterias. The singer was genuinely talented -- truly good -- but the volume was set to "jet engine," so we had to yell to hear each other at a table small enough that whispering should have worked. It was like attending a concert you didn't buy tickets for while trying to eat food you didn't want. Service was a whole separate adventure. Slow, forgetful, and consistently off. Our server forgot multiple items, including onion rings that never arrived, and one friend didn't get her food until the rest of us were done. No apologies, just repeated reminders that they were short staffed, followed by more short‑staffed service. We tipped 20% anyway, which the server seemed extremely grateful for -- probably because she knew exactly how the night had gone. Homeport used to be great. Now it's a place where you go to mourn what it used to be while eating food that tastes like it's mourning too.

Their breakfasts are amazing (and Dave is willing to share his recipes) 5. They attract repeat guests that are also super nice (we hope to become repeat guests ourselves) 6. It's not a huge -- it's a more intimate and quiet B&B that can accomodate all of their breakfast guests in one seating 7. They have their own chickens (and fresh eggs) 8. Lots of little/nice touches that add up to a wonderful stay Based on the various reviews on several sites we looked at before we booked our trip, we had every reason to suspect we would love our stay at Abigails.

We were on our honeymoon and she was more accommodating than we could've ever wished. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. Fuchias line her lovely wrap around porch; the garden is like a Victorian dream. You can see views of the wonderful ocean and sunset from the cupola. She was sweet enough to allow our service dogs to stay, and she spoiled them rotten. She had every type of drink and sweet, snack, chocolate and treat you could ask for (at a minimal fee). The house is beautifully decorated. The bed was the most comfortable bed that we've ever stayed in other than our one at home.We spent one day in Acadia and found the drive between Sargentville and Acadia absolutely beautiful. Annie even had a perfect picnic basket in which she allowed us to pack a wonderful picnic to take to Acadia. She also recommended an awesome local spot called the Fishnet that had amazing lobstah rolls ;) If you're looking for a nice place to stay that is not a tourist trap, it's totally worth the drive. We quickly realized that Wi-Fi in the entire Acadia to Sargentville area is very limited. Although Wi-Fi is available at Annie's, it is limited. I had issues on my laptop, however my husband watched an entire movie on his iPad. But, seeing as we're from the mountains, we were completely understanding of the fact that when you're off the grid you should get off the Internet. I have already recommended Maplehurst to several friends. Annie brings southern hospitality to the most northern part of the US.

There was garbage and debri from the repairs/renovations all over the backyard which was visible from our room. There was garbage on the front porch and outside our room and an overgrowth of weeds (not native wild, just unattended walkway weeds) which took away from the BnB ambiance. There wasn't a blind in the window in the bathroom just sheer curtains which to me is the most intimate room so we had to use a couple of my dresses for privacy. There was a coffee maker in the room but upon use we realized it only had decaf and when explained to the caretaker she did not resolve the issue by giving us regular coffee her response was just "oh". The bathtub had not been cleaned as we noticed there was hair all over and dirt in it. Very disappointed as we really hoped for a romantic stay :(

I had a problem the first time I stayed because my cellphone was with T-Mobile and they have no service up there. My wife had to communicate with me through Kelly's phone which she gave up to me for extended conversations. The second time we stayed we picked up a pizza and some wine and settled in to eat in a common area. Kelly and John were in their apartment on the third floor, smelled the pizza and appeared out of nowhere to bring us plates and silverware. All continued to go well, we checked out l went and were in in Camden Maine, about 40 minutes away when we received a call from Kelly. We forgot something in our room and she met with us halfway back to give us our checkbook and phone contacts. Way above and beyond what we expected.These innkeepers are AMAZING!!!
