Lovely Inn and Innkeepers

We had a wonderful three night stay at Captain Sweetser's while in Searsport for a wedding. Lori and Ginny, the owners, were friendly and welcoming to us and to our dog. They constantly checked in to see if we needed anything, made recommendations for places to go, and made a fantastic breakfast every morning. Highly recommend!

A great place to Stay

Lori& Ginny gave us a delightful visit 06/14/23. Beautiful grounds, nice porch views and a comfortable room. In addition, a good breakfast to get us forward on our trip. Fun folks to talk to as well! And excellent coffee and tea too. We plan on a return visit to stay when visiting the area sooner rather than later.

There were road repairs underway on US-1 right outside the front door, which makes for traffic inconvenience, noise, and an asphalt smell, but I'm not sure there's much you can do to mitigate that given the location. Staff were absolutely lovely, welcoming, accommodating for our being hideously behind schedule and late in our arrival. Electric car charger is a 120V plug, which gave us enough mileage on our car to have flexibility in planning the rest of our trip. Our daughters adore this house and want to come back!

We will be back!

Lori and Ginny are wonderful hosts! They serve you delicious breakfast every morning, the rooms are very clean and the decor is subdued and calm. They have games available for you to play and books with a maritime theme and local history. Lori gave great recommendations on restaurants and what to do and where to go as our schedule was unplanned and wide open. Have I mentioned the sunroom? GORGEOUS and COMFORTABLE! Leather couch and recliner and a fabric recliner as well. A table with I think it was chess set up at one end…. STAY HERE! You won’t regret it!

Captain Sweetser's Inn on Penobscot Bay, Maine

Lori and Ginny were the prefect hosts. I contacted them to arrive a day early as the drive was very long and they were able to accommodate me right away. The breakfasts were all made from family recipes and delicious. The grounds are relaxing and the breezes from Penobscot Bay across the street are soothing.

Lori and Ginny are wonderfully helpful and friendly. Their inn is truly one of a kind. It's history is fascinating. I slept in the bedroom of a sea captain that sailed from Maine to Asia just like the father of in The Lupine Lady ( a picture book by Barbara Cooney)

This is one of the nicest places i have ever stayed in. The two lady's that run own this inn are soooo nice and welcoming. The breakfast they made every morning were the best tasting breakfast's ever. I absolutely loved the history tour as well. The room was so clean, and the bed was very, very comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was outstanding and plenty of hot water. I loved hanging out drinking coffee in the very comfortable sun room and there are plenty of dining and adult beverage options within walking distance of the inn.
