Friends of ours wanted to play some pool after we had dinner nearby at Lucky Garden, so we did exactly that.

ORIGIN: In the course of preserving a landmark home that…read moresits on top of a hill overlooking the Penobscot Bay, Justin Cooper, a co-owner/musician, has recently transformed the enclosed front porch into a music and special event venue. The site named after the towering elm trees that populate the town. CONCEPT: The event space brings life back into the former 18,000 square foot circa 1895 residential building, and provides a community music venue in which neighbors can gather and hear a variety of musicians from across the country. EXPERIENCE: I experienced a performance of the Young Fables, a musical and real life female/male duo formed by Laurel Wright and Wes Lunsford. The duo was on tour in the region, and hail from Tennessee. They had been solicited by The Elms at Castine owner to perform two consecutive summer nights. Justin Cooper introduced the duo, and set an expectation that everyone would hear the entire performance. The makeshift performance space is narrow, holding 12 large round tables, each accompanying four guests. To further reduce distractions, a fifteen minute intermission was scheduled between the 8:30-10:30 PM performance. The intermission allowed time for community connections, which is a significant component of events at The Elms at Castine. Given the residential building most recently served as an inn, there is a bar near the performance area, and guests are able to bring their purchases to their assigned tables. In speaking to homeowners in the community, it is clear that they appreciate the addition of an evening entertainment venue. I was impressed by the talent of the duo, Laurel's voice, and Wes's guitar playing, an opinion shared by the audience. Although an audiophile, such as my husband or professional musician could notice some acoustic issues due to the makeshift performance environment, it was not apparent to me. TIPS: Upcoming performances are listed on the website, and tickets can sell out quickly. By clicking "buy on map" customers can view and select seats that are available. There is an Americans with Disabilities Act compliant ramp to help those who need it, but to avoid interior steps into the main performance space those with disabilities will need to reserve a special, limited "VIP" seating area that overlooks the enclosed porch. Unfortunately this area currently demands an additional charge, 50% more than the $40 general admission.

If you're a classical music lover like me, this is probably the best music you'll hear in Maine. The musicians are world class and the orchestra is just amazing.

The issues: at $280 a night we felt the room was very dated (last updated about 20 years ago). The room smelled like bleach or really like how a senior living or care center smells which we spoke to the management about. The physical parts of the building, being quite old, showed various states of care/repair/disrepair/wear. Overall I dont see this at $280 but it was an ok stop. Management did acknowledge the issues and said the rooms not yet updated were to be done soon. Perhaps verify if your room choice has been done if reserving. I give it a 2 star towards 3 but price keeps it at 2 in its current condition.

It's the kind of place where you can kick back, warm up, and enjoy a drink without any fuss. Service was great throughout our visit, and we had zero concerns there.

The feta‑topped French fries were another standout--crispy, flavorful, and surprisingly addictive. We also ordered a couple of 16‑ounce draft beers, which were fresh and great‑tasting. Combined with the lively ski‑lodge ambience, it all made for a fun, relaxing break from the slopes. Overall, the Widowmaker Lounge is a great spot to unwind, grab a bite, and enjoy the mountain atmosphere. A must‑stop between runs if you're spending the day on the slopes.
