What an incredible place! The hosts are extraordinarily helpful and have great taste. The breakfasts are delicious. Bath is a really charming little town. We came here for our tenth anniversary and I'm not sure we could e asked for a place that was more homey, cosy, and welcoming. Amy and Mark are awesome people and it is an awesome place. read more

This is the perfect BnB!!! If you are in Bath, this is the place to stay!! The room is adorable and comfy! The breakfast was beyond amazing every day! The hosts are wonderful! I can't recommend this place enough. read more

This place is incredible. My husband and I stayed a night here in June 2017 and we had a wonderful stay. Our room was immaculate. The bathroom was clean, spacious, and well-lit. I am REALLY picky about cleanliness when it comes to lodging and this place was perfect. The decor was refreshing. Sometimes B&Bs go overboard with strong, clashing patterns and cluttered knickknacks on shelves in pursuit of a "charming" and "lived-in" look, but not this place. The owners know how to achieve a charming look without all the clutter. The outside patio area is lovely. We ate our dinner on the patio and enjoyed the tranquil sound of a bubbling fountain, and even saw some hummingbirds fly by to steal some nectar from the gorgeous garden. We went for a walk after dinner and came back to fresh cold water and tasty chocolate covered blueberries in our room. Little touches like this really made the stay special. Breakfast was delicious, and the owners were very careful to ensure that preferred meal times and dietary restrictions were accommodated. They also have an incredibly friendly doggo named Tilly and a new puppy named Pico. Definitely stay here is you're traveling to/through Bath, ME. read more

Amy & Mark are great hosts and very accommodating. They know a lot about the local area and can guide you in choosing a restaurant or sights to see. The house & garden are very charming and are cheerfully decorated with a mix of old & new. There's tons of vintage charm, but none of the vintage discomfort because the bathroom & mattress are modern. The neighborhood is historic and lovely for a walk, and also walking distance to dining and boutique shopping. Breakfast was delicious and more than I could handle with homemade doughnuts as well as breakfast. Amy gives you a breakfast menu the evening before so you can note any preferences or dietary restrictions in advance. I didn't get to meet the dogs during my brief stay, but they looked very well behaved in the garden from my bedroom window. read more

This B and B is the Gold standard as far as I am concerned. Between the ease in requesting a reservation and the prompt reply from Amy, it was a smooth process from start to finish. We arrived in the afternoon to find Amy and Mark out on their beautiful patio, enjoying the day. After a quick rundown, Amy had many suggestions of things to do and see in the area. The inn is spotless (a miracle when dogs are part of your life) and our room above the kitchen was spacious and quiet. The bathroom was huge! I can't say enough about Amy and Mark's attention to detail- whether it was turning the bed down and providing ice water in the evening to the delicious, wholesome and dare I say healthy breakfasts that were served. What an awesome experiences had. We hope to return soon. read more

I can't tell you how much I loved my stay at the Benjamin Packard House. Our room was cozy and delightful, our breakfast was delicious and prepared with the utmost care (everything from the granola to the breakfast quiche was homemade), and the B&B was just beautifully decorated - it felt as if I had stepped into a Pottery Barn Catalogue but instead of new furniture from Pottery Barn the pieces were antique. The owner provided us with water and chocolates in our room in the evening as well as turned on the air conditioning for our arrival. We were asked for our breakfast preferences upon arrival and the owners made us feel as if we were at home. Although the town of Bath lacks tasty restaurants and much to do, this B&B is definitely worth a visit for a night. It is easy to get to beaches and other areas in Midcoast Maine from this location. 2 thumbs up. read more

We had an amazing experience at the Packard House! It started when I sent out several yelp messages to B & Bs in Bath, Me, indicating that we weren't sure of our timing because it was based on the arrival of a new baby. Amy and Mark immediately responded that they had availability and a special promotion going on. They were happy to be flexible. The big day came and I booked a Saturday arrival. Friday morning, we decided to go that afternoon instead. "No problem " was the response. After a discussion of foot boards on beds, and extra tall bed partners, we took the Garden suite at $20 more per night, because the single room had the aforementioned foot board. Upon arrival, Amy let us know that because of a cancellation, she had a less expensive single sans foot board, decreasing her income by $40, but increasing my loyalty by 100%! The house is so beautifully decorated! Extremely clean and comfortable with an antique-y feel but not overdone. And the breakfasts!!!! Amy bakes her own artisan bread and it is extraordinary! She also makes her own granola, rich with pumpkin seeds. I felt like I was on vacation and wished I could have spent more time at the Inn! Amy and Mark are chatty but not intrusive and their dogs, who I loved, have been trained to stay invisible unless requested. I am so happy that we have a beautiful new reason ( our granddaughter) to visit Bath. Can't wait to return in spite of -13 temps! I have never felt so well cared for! read more

See all

Wonderful warm and friendly. Beautiful house and garden. I love the dogs and the breakfast is great too.

My wife and I, two sons and their wives along a family friend and his wife, enjoyed the nicest of weekends this past weekend, 92/17 through 10/1/17. We were attending a friends wedding on the mid coast and arrived later in the afternoon on Friday., From that moment on, we felt we had arrived " home" ! Amy, the owner and her husband, Mark, could not have been more accommodating, and more gracious. Each of the four rooms had baths, en suite and the decorating simply spoke of the history of the home dating back to the 1790's. The breakfasts were fabulous and Amy was most kind to alter her home made menu in order to accommodate a few of us with diet restrictions ! In addition to a most welcoming, warm environment, the decor was a wonderful blend of update amenities which complimented the originality of the home being preserved with great accent furniture throughout ! I think the Benjamin Packard House is a terrific value in addition to all of the other items mentioned ! First class accommodation and terrific service coupled with home made Breakfasts each day.... We were blessed to have found this wonderful haven in Bath, Me. ! John & Jane B read more

My husband and I stayed here in April 2014. We were in the Packard room which is upstairs. The stairs are a little tight so just take that into account. I'm so glad that we chose to stay at a B&B rather than the standard hotel chains. Amy and Mark were so welcoming and made it feel like we could chat with them if we wanted but were totally noninvasive. Their dogs are so friendly and a fun touch to staying at a B&B. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast in the morning was so good. Really, my husband couldn't stop talking about the scones we had while we were there. We'd love to come back if we are in the area again. read more

This place is great!!!... Clean, clean, clean!!!! Friendly, friendly, friendly!!! We were more than 3 hours late getting here due to a late flight...Marc waited up for us, was very accommodating and even helped us with our luggage at the very late hour!!!.. Marc and Amy are great!!! Breakfast was creative and tasty!!! Wish we were there longer... We would definitely recommend this place and we'll be back at some point!!! Thanks to both of them for their incredible hospitality!!! read more

We walked in, having never been there before, and Amy greeted us by name, welcomed us, and immediately showed us around. My wife noted--and not for the last time--how clean everything was, to which I responded "yeah, but it still feels homey, lived in, and comfortable; I'm not afraid to sit on the furniture or touch anything." We were just in time for afternoon tea, served with amazing Ginger Cookies that reminded my wife of the one's her grandfather used to make. Amy gave us the recipe before we left, we loved them so much. She asked us if we needed any recommendations for dinner or things to do; I asked about dinner, she told us about three local places (of different types and varieties) and gave us menus to look at. We ended up at the local BBQ restaurant, and it was just as good as she said it was. When we got back, Mark had a fire going in the fireplace, waiting to help us warm up from the chilly April weather, and asked us what we thought of the BBQ. While we were gone, someone had refreshed the ice water in our room--so we got some water, and spent the rest of the evening curled up in front of the fireplace, reading on a comfy sofa. The next morning, we were treated to a tremendous breakfast, with fresh fruit, homemade granola, fluffy Belgian waffles, sausage, and--most importantly--warm chocolate muffins. We drank some tea in front of the fire, chatted with Mark and Amy for a bit, and left--relaxed, refreshed, and happy. All in all, I don't know if I've ever had a more pleasant experience at any hotel, inn, or B&B. read more

All I can say is I'm extremely impressed by this place and especially the owner, Amy (and her hubby, Mark, too). As a restaurant vet, I'm very well aware there's plenty of places which can offer you a nice experience. So what makes up the difference? The answer is attention to details. The room was very nice and well appointed. The whole place has that classic, vintage feel. But it was just lots of little things which made this beautiful old house something special. From a gorgeous courtyard, lots of amenities & services, beautifully appointed furnishings & decor and a really marvelous breakfast in the morning. Does she go get wonderful local fruit jams? Nope, she goes and gets the most amazing Blueberry Preserves I've ever had made by a bunch of Nuns way off in the middle of the State. And so on, and so on. I got lucky to stay here, I just picked it because it looked cute. But next time I'm in Bath, I'm calling ahead. read more

WOW! After spending a week traveling at B&B's throughout New England... I must say this is the BEST B&B we stayed at. The home was very clean, the house is tastefully decorated, and the food was amazing. Amy's hospitality is out of this world. Her love for this home is put in all the details... For example.... A weeks weather forecast framed in your room, linens ironed perfectly, ice water and chocolate delivered in the evening, and the list goes on and on. We will come back! It deserves more than 5 stars! read more
