This is an exceptional property, but even better service. Lori and Ginny were so kind, thoughtful, and accommodating. The breakfast and vibe of the space is fantastic. They also provide a lot of education about the house and area and truly care about keeping the history alive, and that pride shows clearly in how well the place is loved. The bed and room is very comfortable and well designed, and the common areas are beautifully renovated.

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.

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.
