The Blue Hill Inn
Bed and Breakfast

The Blue Hill Inn, especially known for its friendly hospitality, is ideally located for exploring New England's Acadia National Park and the Maine coast.

Guests enjoy sailing, hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, antiquing, and discovering the many talented artists and musicians living in the area. Don and Mary are expert in the finer skills of making guests feel comfortable and helping them to plan their day. The neighboring ocean and lakes make for wonderful scenery and even better recreation. Take an island or lighthouse tour aboard a small cruising yacht and enjoy cocktails on the bridge at sunset!

The Blue Hill Inn is located within the registered historic district of the small coastal village of Blue Hill. The village is on the southern border of downeast Maine. Built in 1830, the Blue Hill Inn has operated continuously as a hostelry since 1840. Over 160 years in operation, the Blue Hill Inn is a noted and recognized lodging choice, appreciated for its thoughtful accommodations and its exquisite gourmet Wine Dinners, which are presented on four occasions during the season.

A convenient hotel alternative, the Inn is located on an acre of land near the center of the village and a block from the head of Blue Hill Bay. The federally-styled building has many of its original features, including clapboards, brick ends, five chimneys, six-over-six windows, soft and hard wood floors including wide pumpkin boards, and six fireplaces (four working). The Inn is air-conditioned throughout. Eighteenth- and nineteenth-century antiques create a nostalgic ambiance, highlighted by the 20-candle French chandelier in the dining room and the 10-candle Persian chandelier in the parlor.

There are nine guest rooms and three suites available, each with a private bath. Some of the rooms feature sitting areas, working fireplaces, and king- or queen-sized beds. A spacious luxury suite with a king-sized bed, fireplace, living room area, kitchen, and outside deck is located in the Cape House, adjacent to the Inn. Turn-down service and fresh towels twice a day are just a few of the special touches guests enjoy. Views are green and grand, giving you glimpses of mature trees, a perennial garden, and a small grove of apple trees.

The Inn serves full breakfasts, afternoon tea, and evening hors d'oeuvres. Menus change daily. The Blue Hill Inn has been awarded the prestigious Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence for one of the world's outstanding wine lists for five consecutive years. Breakfast is served from 8:00 to 9:30 a.m. and hors d'oeuvres at 6:00 p.m. daily. Complimentary tea, coffee, and non-alcoholic beverages are available throughout the day. The Blue Hill Inn is the only Maine inn to be featured on the national television series Country Inn Cooking with Gail Greco.

The Blue Hill Inn provides an award-winning, authentically historic setting that is the perfect backdrop for relaxing, renewing, or reuniting. Plan to visit for your next getaway, and discover one of those very special spots on the coast of Maine.
