Captain Nickels Inn

This historic inn sits on three ocean-side acres rambling down to the Penobscot Bay. Beautiful gardens, a fountain, and walkways to shoreline seating in classic Adirondack chairs, as well as a summer cottage with a deck and fire pit provide settings for quiet moments of reflection. Croquet, badminton, bocce ball and horseshoes can be enjoyed on the expansive lawns. Guest areas include two sitting rooms, a library with roaring fires on cool evenings, dining rooms, a beautiful conservatory and loggia with views to the sea, a lounge for evening wine and cheese, and expansive decks with fire pits. After having slept in individually designed rooms or suites furnished with antiques and sumptuous beds, guests awake to views of the sunrise across the bay and the smells of a three-course gourmet breakfast being prepared. The murmur of waves from the bay and wonderful sea air enhance the restful atmosphere. All rooms have private baths, flat screen TVs, wireless internet capabilities, and some have electric fireplaces.
