Fortunate enough to catch opening night at Eastport's newest waterfront establishment"The Rumery!"…read more Amazing work with the interior remodel and incorporation of building history with this chic cocktail bar. Street parking all along the main street or at fish pier parking lot just across the street. Great selection of seafood based starters between the oysters, shrimp cocktail, lox and crab dip as one begins to tackle the large variety of martinis, manhattans, beer or wine. The shrimp cocktail was amazing with fresh plumb shrimp served on a bed of ice with a choice of cocktail sauce, horseradish or a cucumber mint. The creamy crab dip with pita chips is a flavorful combination of lump crab, cheese blend with green onions. The luscious lox is a great blend of lox, cream cheese, dill, capers and red onion served with bagel chips and sliced cucumbers. The pistachio martini was on the specials menu which was delicious! Rimmed with crushed pistachios this is a smooth martini for those that enjoy pistachios, one of my favorites! The espresso martini has wonderful art on top which is almost a crime to sip through, but alas one must enjoy that drink! The sparkling raspberry was a little heavy on the vodka for me, but overall a great concept. Will give this one another try as may have just been an off drink with the grand opening as they get into their groove. To finish the cannoli dip is an excellent take on a good comfort food! Smaller cannoli chips with a creamy spread to enjoy was an excellent way to close out this experience. The service is extremely friendly and prompt to take care of your needs for a great time out. Between bar seating, small window seating area to a table seating configuration, plenty of options to choose from depending on the size of group you may have with you as you make your way down the beautiful waterfront venues. The ambiance is classy yet casual in that just so Eastport way! When at occupancy it can be a little loud if you are seeking a quite or more intimate setting of course this is crowd specific. Fully understand there was a level of excitement for all of those present for opening night. If you are a martini fan and enjoy some seafood centric starters, ensure you stop into the Rumery when in town. You will not be disappointed and I can't wait to try more of the menu! Well done!!

Of which never bothered us, in fact I think I bothered them by trying to pet them :) They included breakfast which was AMAZING. The chef is also the owner and he is so nice, each morning they chatted with us bout the local area and in general were just very nice. I couldn't ask for a better way to start my day. My only real complaint was that my bed was small, but that is due to having shared a room with a co-worker, we had the two bedroom. I am sure the one bedrooms have bigger beds. Overall I would say this is a place you should stay if you are in the area. Go, relax, have some wine and chat. Most of all, forget your problems and worries, even for just a moment while enjoying coffee and looking out onto the river.

Now that I have HOPEFULLY gotten your attention, I will enumerate the reasons for my warning. PLEASE KNOW THAT EASTPORT IS LOVELY, THE PEOPLE THERE ARE WARM AND WELCOMING. With the exception of Pam Francis, Owner and Operator of Milliken House and Old Sow Restaurant. Really, it's unbelievable how inept this woman is. Don't all AirBNBs have information???? Well, not here. Also, isn't the definition of an B& B include breakfast??? Actually, I'm relieved there was no breakfast, as the kitchen was falling in. When I called for the booking, the owner, Pam Francis, did not give me any information, confirmation or any way to communicate with her. I called the week before my stay and had a very hard time getting in touch with her. I offered an email, a credit card....anything to secure our reservation and to get information about our stay. Pam is not on site and has depended on the help from a long-term guest to see to other guest's needs. This is without recompense. Victoria does this from the goodness of her heart. When you arrive, don't expect a welcome, a hello or a kiss my ....... Pam is the most unwelcoming person I have ever encountered. Not only is she unwelcoming, she acted as though we were an inconvenience. I haven't had eyes rolled at me since I was a child. The house, while lovely, is old and in disrepair, the rooms are bare bones. My room had a peeling ceiling. There was no soap, clean sheets, maybe?, old flat pillows, no extra blanket. There WAS a strange closet jammed with detritus that I blocked with a bench. It was creepy. I didn't have a key to lock my door. I hid my belongings in the shower and took pictures of my other stuff to make sure it hadn't been tampered with. Fortunately, the one night I was there was relatively warm, because there is no heat..... in Northern Maine. The whole place was just awful. No, not just awful, it was a travesty. Pam Francis apparently acquired this property with no skill in managing properties. There have been no inspections of her property and she only accepts checks or cash...........WHICH WE FOUND OUT WHEN TRYING TO ESCAPE. The guests that left just before us ( who were booked for multiple nights and left after one) couldn't get in touch with Pam and left her a note saying they would call her with a credit card. She wanted ME to go to a bank and get cash to pay for my stay. I should have been paid to stay there. I would not do that and dragged her info out of her so I could mail her a check when I get home. Why would someone with ZERO people skills, ZERO business sense and ZERO financial acuity try to run an B&B?? I have ideas, but hesitate to name them. The IRS can look into it. I have other reviews and I hope you will see that I am always forthright and honest. DO NOT STAY HERE, DO NOT BOOK HERE. *** Visit Eastport!!! It is lovely and the residents are the BEST!!!

There is no breakfast and you have your own access to your room through your own entry. You don't have to walk through someone's home to get to your space. My room was a spacious, sunny room with a private bath. Great whirlpool bath tub (didn't use it though) and a big comfy bed with nice linens. My room had a flat screen/panel TV with about a bazillion channels. The wifi is slightly spotty, but it was functional enough that I could get my work done. The owners are friendly and also Helen's. They offer a discount for people staying at the Inn, so I ate there twice. All in all, I would definitely go back!

We spent a week in Bar Harbor before coming up, and after the crowds and chaos there, this quiet inn was a PERFECT place to decompress and relax. The room is really spacious-- a king-sized bed, table and chairs, and plenty of floor space. Jacuzzi tub and a large bathroom. It looks right out over the river, so you can watch the tide go in and out; we even saw a pair of bald eagles. You can walk down to the river and to the Downeast Sunrise trail, which we biked on. It's extremely quiet, aside from road noise. The hosts are very responsive and were flexible with my schedule. If I am ever back in Machias I will definitely stay here again. Be forewarned that if you want breakfast, your choices are Dunkin Donuts or drive a long way to a different town. Everything in Machias opens at 11:00.

Found the West Quoddy Station, and sure why not give it a try. We were so glad we did. the first thing we noticed is that it was QUIET. peaceful quiet. and was everything as advertised. we had the starboard bouy barn, and it was nice and roomy. having a kitchen meant we could just get something in town and cook in the room. to be able to just have a nice meal and enjoy the scenery was fantastic. the room was nice and warm for may, and the shower was terrific. big bathroom which is a plus. definitely worth the drive!!

This place is located in one of the most beautiful areas in Maine. The grounds and the buildings are gorgeous, as are all of the surroundings. The exterior of the buildings is immaculately maintained and the landscaping is lovely. We stayed in the Cabin. I booked it because of location and the history of the building. The photos showed it was primitive but clean, and I'm fine with primitive, as long as it's clean. Check in process is very old fashioned...you arrive to find your name on a public bulletin board outside the office, and go to your unlocked cabin to find your keys and a printed welcome note with instructions. Obviously this is not an automated process, and a decent amount of effort goes into this process every day. It was actually quaint. The management had sent a very nice email with a long, detailed list of interesting things to do & amazing sights in the area, along with how to access them. This was very thoughtful & helpful! As stated earlier, the location is breathtaking. Several wildflowers were blooming, including lupines, and the sweeping views of the water were just gorgeous. We loved strolling the grounds and got some amazing photos. It truly felt like "real Maine", not some tourist version. When we arrived & got into the cabin, we noticed an odor that went beyond the usual musty old cabin smell. But it was still at the beginning of the season, so I assumed the old cabin had been shut up all winter and just needed to be aired out. It was fairly dark inside even with the curtains open. I was disappointed to see the leather chair that looked comfy in the photos was actually very old and the seat had what looked to be broken springs showing through, so we didn't sit on it. The kitchen appeared clean & very well appointed with everything you'd need to cook your own meals, including a full size fridge, toaster, microwave and a gas range, and every cooking and eating utensil, including a tea kettle. The bathroom appeared clean, with thick towels, a hair dryer, and soaps/shampoo/conditioner. We opened the windows to let the fresh air in, anxious to go exploring the lighthouse and surrounding area. When we returned, the cabin had still not aired out. Upon turning down the beds, we saw there was a lot of pet hair on the bedspread and on the pillowcases and sheets (we were not traveling with animals). Upon turning on the lamps we saw the shades were stained and there were cobwebs and piles of pet hair on the floors and in the corners, and it was at this point that we noticed one of the bath towels didn't look clean. I'd now lost faith, but there is very little in the way of other places to stay in the area & it was already getting late. My husband said "it's only one night" and we were getting up early the next morning anyway, so we quickly ran to the local Dollar General just before they closed and bought our own blankets and towels. We made the best of it, getting up at 4am (the sky was already getting light at this time) to see the sunrise at West Quoddy Lighthouse, which was an amazing experience! In the light of the morning we saw just how much pet hair was on the floors, and it was pretty gross, but by then we were leaving, heading out for our next adventure. This is my advice to anyone booking the Cabin at West Quoddy Station: check your expectations. We didn't experience any of the spaces other than the Cabin, so this review is only for that particular building. The Cabin IS quite primitive, it smells very musty, and the level of clean was not to our personal satisfaction. But if you're up for some history and adventure and as my husband says "you don't mind feeling like you're staying in some random guy's hunting cabin", you might find yourself having an adventure in an historic building at one of the most beautiful spots in the U.S.
