I made him stand outside of the bathroom door as I showered. I was unable to stand up in the shower fully and I am only 5'6". My boyfriend took a walk on the property and looked in one of the buildings set up like a little antique gallery and found a man sleeping on a mattress. It is suggested that you wear wool instead of turning up the thermostat in your room. You can hear every little noise happening throughout the house at night. There was a box fan that was provided that we used to make white noise, but it was still difficult to sleep. We walked through the kitchen in the morning (where her animals are eating and hanging out) and found it to be pretty dirty. I was chastised for not filling out my breakfast form correctly. We left as soon as we could. Our entire stay was extremely uncomfortable and honestly I feel it's my duty to warn others, so I am writing this review at the risk of a rude response. It is very possible we were not the right "fit" for this kind of place, but I have stayed at other B&Bs without these kinds of issues. One positive is that they are dog-friendly, which was one of the main reasons we chose it.

This place is quintessential Maine! And beautiful!…read more My fiance and I needed a place to stay Christmas weekend since my whole family was going to be in the area during the holiday (we're all from Maine). This Inn was recommended to me by a friend who'd held her wedding there this past September and raved about it. I'd highly recommend this inn to anyone who is looking for a stay of any length in the area!! Pros: -Lisa, the innkeeper, is very nice and professional and always willing to help. -Breakfasts were amazing and there were many choices. -Great view out of the eating area. -Location: close to little town with shopping, gas station, ski-shop outlet, Sugarloaf, Saddleback -Our room was very comfortable: the bed, the room itself, the bathroom, pillows/blankets, etc. -Rooms are newly renovated, it seemed. -Great hot water. -Quiet and peaceful sitting area for guests. -Friendly doggies. -Helen the hen greets you in the mornings. Cons: -Doggies, while friendly, can be a little rambunctious - for those who love dogs, like us, we didn't mind a bit, but for those who might not enjoy dogs, this might be frustrating. -We got back to the Inn on Christmas Eve night (between 10pm and 10:30pm, I'd say), the door for the Inn stayers was locked...I don't think there was a curfew so I'm not sure why it was locked. We went in through another front door that was luckily unlocked. I'm not sure what we would have done without being able to get in. -The bedrooms had a slight smell of animals. It wasn't so bad, but given my fiance's severe cat allergy, this did make his nose stuffy on night #1.
