LimeRock Inn is tucked away on a quiet
street in Rockland’s Historic District yet steps away
from the world-class Farnsworth Museum, fine dining,
European-style shopping, and what Down East magazine
referred to as "mid-coast Maine's
most beautiful ocean walk." 
Encircled by a wraparound porch and
landscaped gardens, this beautiful turreted Victorian mansion
is an exquisite example of Queen Anne architecture and
reminiscent of the gracious lifestyle of a bygone era.
From the sidewalk, the wicker furnished
wraparound porch invites you to relax. Once inside, warm
colors of the foyer welcome you. Enjoy a quite conversation on
the porch or in the formal parlor or relax by the fireplace in
the living room with a book from the library. An antique
inspired oak cabinet in the living room contains a color
television with DVD player and cable
Beyond the foyer are eight,
well-appointed, luxurious guest accommodations decorated to
create an environment of comfortable elegance. Architectural
details and period furnishings evoke charm and character that
enhance the overall feeling of comfort and hospitality. The
two guest rooms offer king beds, and the remaining six
accommodations are furnished with queen beds, each with
sumptuous bedding. Each guest room boasts an opulent private
bath, (some with whirlpool tubs), all appointed with Egyptian
cotton linens, hair dryer, cotton jar, rejuvenating soap, bath
oils and shampoo.
Breakfast at the LimeRock Inn is a culinary
experience. Your hosts, Frank and PJ, have a simple outlook on
food and fine dining. They believe that only two kinds of
people exist in the world … those who “eat to live”
and those who “live to eat”. Being lifetime members
of the later group, they believe that the right setting is the
best accompaniment for good food. Seasonal fruit, homemade
breads, regional fruit jams, special entrees and, of course,
plenty of freshly brewed coffee using a special blend from the
locally owned Rock City Roasters are standard fare. A generous
selection of black and herbal teas are offered if tea is your
cup. |
For the Business
Traveler ----The Inn offers secure,
high-speed wireless Internet. Those traveling without a laptop
can use the desktop computer in the guest amenities center,
which also includes a laser printer, color inkjet printer,
scanner and fax machine in order to meet your needs during
your stay.
The Inn is located a block from the Knox
County Courthouse and other downtown businesses making it an
ideal alternative to traditional lodging.
Rockland, Maine is the geographic center of
the mid-coast region, which makes for easy day-tripping to LL
Bean in Freeport, Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor, and
every town in between. All along mid-coast Maine you'll
discover seaside resorts, charming villages, glacier-carved
peninsulas, and grand panoramas of the Penobscot Bay and
Atlantic Ocean.
Rockland is also the Lobster capital of
Downeast Maine, so seaside activities and seaside dining are
popular pursuits. The town throws a lobster festival every
year, as well as the North Atlantic Blues Festival and the
Wooden Boat Show/Atlantic Challenge. |
