    Tacos for breakfast, really? A request for a simple egg declined with an attitude? Insult to injury, not even good breakfast tacos. Not recommended

    We loved every minute of our stay here. The grounds are stunning and expansive. We walked around them a few times to enjoy the view. There are also some binoculars available which made looking at the stars even more enjoyable. Our room was the London room. The bed was so comfortable I had to look up the brand of sheets so I can buy some when I get home. The ac/heating units were great & effective and the garden views from the room just caught a bit of the sunrise and were lovely. We stayed two nights and each morning breakfast was delicious. Every detail has been thought out at this beautiful Inn. The hosts were warm & welcoming. We loved our stay so much. We highly recommend staying here.

    I was just in awe with the beauty of this inn. Our stay was perfect. It was quiet which was what we were looking for and the ladies were very accommodating. The inn was accessible to camden, bar harbor and winter harbor.

    Beautiful coffee mug.

    Our stay here was on a whim. This was an amazing place that felt like home. Breakfast was delicious. Best sleep we had on this trip. Would absolutely would stay here again, and would recommend Captain Nickles Inn to anyone visiting the area.

    Widows was view from our porch. The fire pit on the porch was awesome.

    Stayed in the Captain's suite and had a great time. Staff (Dawn & Cassidy) were delightful. They prepared a great breakfast daily and even remembered we requested decaf coffee. Our suite had a porch and access to the widows walk which was really unique. The building dates back to the 1800s so there is a great deal of history there. I'd highly recommend it. Also very convenient if you want to head up to Acadia, we did a couple day trips.

    The Captain Nichols Inn is an amazing Maine Bed and Breakfast. It has the most spectacular views, the most beautiful rooms (Go for the Port of Call Havana!) and the most wonderful, welcoming inn keepers. The breakfasts are delightful. There is plenty of room to sit and talk, inside or outside. The whole place is charming, clean, and remarkable. I was there for a relaxing weekend, but I would highly recommend it for a wedding, family reunion or business event. There are plenty of local day-trips you can make from Searsport, and I found out on my weekend there that the local businesses are so sweet, the restaurants are great. There are also lots of places to walk and explore close by, or you could just spend the whole time at the inn! Cass and Dawn have made a remarkable place for us to all visit!

    Foggy evening at Captain A.V.

    Randomly stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for lunch while on our drive up from Portland to Bar…read moreHarbor. We sat in the bar area at a table and had the place to ourselves. 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.

    Perfect 5-Star dining experience. It is difficult to find anyone these days who takes pride in…read moretheir work and restaurants are no exception... except for the Homeport Tavern! I'll start with the food: I am a food snob. Not a foodie.. a SNOB. When I cook at home, I use the highest quality ingredients and flavor matters. You'll never see me rave about food that contains any pre-made or processed ingredients. Restaurants are a low-profit business and typically cut corners to watch profits. So, it's rare to find a restaurant that takes obvious pride in their food and DELIVERS on that pride. The Homeport Tavern is a gem! We ordered the French onion soup and calamari appetizers and the Tavern burgers. The calamari was hand breaded and fresh, not from frozen. So delicious. The soup was the best French onion soup we've ever had - did I taste a hint of Jamaican all-spice? This tavern isn't afraid to use expensive spices to achieve ultimate taste. The burgers were to die for - incredibly fresh tasting grass fed angus, cooked to a perfect medium rare (most places can't seem to cook a proper medium rare, but the Tavern nailed it). The crispy fried piece of pork belly atop the burger was amazing - cut thick and seared at a high heat for a delightful texture and flavor. The coleslaw, obviously fresh and homemade with a poppy seed in-house dressing, was a nice palette cleanser between divine burger bites. Topping this all off is the best selection of draft beers we've seen in a while! Our server was perfect in every way. She was attentive, knowledgeable, accommodating, friendly, and professional. Top notch. Now let's get to the atmosphere. The Tavern is an adorable old Maine mixed with rustic old Irish charm type of architecture. We could hear Gaelic pub music - think minstrel - before walking in. When we entered, we saw an Irish folk band of about 6 musicians playing gleefully, which, along with the old Irish pub atmosphere, truly made us feel as if we're were transported to a time and place in folklore. The entire experience made us fall in love with Homeport Tavern and we will definitely be back again and again.

The owners, Matt & George, could not have been more welcoming from the moment we walked in the front door. The property itself is oozing with rich history and the interiors have been brilliantly restored (well done, George!), making this stay feel like both a step into the past and luxury pampering. Matt is quite the chef, and the inn's evening menu sings with local comfort foods, each item delicious and unique (we tried most of the menu). Downeast Maine may have stolen my heart on this trip, but it's the Pentagoet that has been top of mind since we left. I can't wait to return!

Being there makes you feel so far away in the best way possible. But the shining star of the town has to be the Pentagoet run by the most wonderful innkeepers, Matt & George, and a truly lovely staff! Everyone we encountered on their team was kind, friendly and offered excellent service. It's easy to just park your car on main street or on the side of the inn and then from the minute you walk into the space, you are blown away at all of the decor and details that make it feel comfortable, classy and modern and at the same time so true to the inn's Victorian history. You can tell each corner of the inn has been decorated intentionally and with much care. Our room (#3) was comfortable, clean and had so many fantastic details like a signature smell, complimentary bath/shower items, and of course - the signature balcony (AMAZING!). The communal spaces are fantastic as well. The patio is gorgeous, the porch is so peaceful, and the pub is incredibly cozy and chic. Breakfast was delicious and they also offer coffee service upstairs outside of the rooms, which is such a great touch. The food and drinks at the pub are also outstanding!! For good reason, the restaurant books up fast so definitely always make a reservation whether you are staying or only coming for dinner but you certainly won't regret experiencing the cocktails (love the blueberry one..so Maine!) and the food. The menu is seasonal I believe but everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The ode to lobster on the menu was also quintessential Maine and so good.. my husband had lobster linguini. I had short rib sliders that were also amazing. If you get the chance to try the blueberry cobbler or chocolate tres leches, do it!! Those are two desserts my husband and I will never forget. Actually.. the whole place and experience is something we will never forget. It was a highlight of our Maine vacation and we will forever be grateful to Matt and George for the space they have created and remarkable levels of hospitality that feel truly special! Thank you Matt, George and the Pentagoet team!

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!!!

We stayed on the 3rd floor in the Beehive Suite. It was a bit of a trek going up and down as many times as we did, especially with heavy luggage, but we loved the room and the view!!!!

There is a parking space for a car for every room. When we arrived, we got a thorough welcoming from Matt. He showed us on a map some suggestions of where to eat. The inn is an easy walk from the town and about a five minute drive from the entrance to Acadia National Park. We didn't partake in breakfast, but saw many others enjoying it. They have a beautiful deck with plenty of seating, and Adirondack chairs in the yard to enjoy the stars. They keep the lights and music on all night, so no matter when you arrive home, you feel comfortable and safe. The only thing that we missed was access to ice. There is a tiny machine in the breakfast room, but that only makes enough ice for about 3 drinks for the whole place. We had to buy ice at the Circle K every day and keep it in our cooler in the room for our water bottles and cocktails. If you ever travel to Bar Harbor, this is the place to stay!!!
