CHECK AVAILABILITY

Perched on Lookout Point in Midcoast Maine, the Harpswell Inn occupies a 1700s shipbuilders’ home and carriage house, which are surrounded by natural beauty. The waterfront estate is steeped in authentic Maine charm and is an ideal place for you to relax and retreat.

Our inn features eight unique guest rooms and one mini suite in the original building. The main building also houses the great room, which has multiple seating areas, a fireplace, and water views. The adjacent guest kitchen offers 24/7 coffee, tea, filtered water & ice, a guest refrigerator, and our honor bar with beer and wine for sale. The house also includes a recently renovated game lounge, sun-soaked dining area, and wrap around porch. The separated carriage house is home to the three suites, which provide additional privacy and space.

An “elevated continental breakfast” of bread and bagels from a local bakery, homemade scones, fresh fruit, yogurt, granola, hard boiled eggs, and more is included and offered daily.

There are ample things to do at the Inn and within walking distance at Lookout Point, including utilizing our complementary kayaks and stand up paddle board for a float in the bay; lunch or dinner at the wildly popular Morse’s food truck; relaxing on the little beach; exploring the islands at low tide; or watching the sunset over the water

 Helpful Info

  • Our waterfront estate is located on Lookout Point in Harpswell and has gorgeous sunset views over the island-dotted bay.

    The town of Harpswell is comprised of several islands, peninsulas, and miles of coastline. It is conveniently located in the midcoast, only twelve minutes from downtown Brunswick and forty five minutes from the Portland airport.

  • Check-in is between 3:00 and 5:00 pm. Check-out time is 11:00 am.

    We do our best to accommodate early check-ins with advanced notice. If you expect to arrive after check-in hours that is not a problem, but please note your anticipated arrival time when making your reservation and/or send us a text or give us a call (207.815.0419) prior to arrival.

  • As a small, family-run inn, changes and cancellations made with short notice greatly impact us. We understand plans can change and we will do our best to move your reservation or assist with a cancellation, but please give us as much notice as possible.

    If your travel plans change and you need to cancel your reservation, please call us at least twenty-one days prior to your arrival date in order to receive your deposit back less a $35 processing fee (per room).

    Guests cancelling reservations within twenty-one days of arrival or checking out early will be charged the full deposit.

    You are responsible for the entire stay if you fail to show, depart early, or arrive after scheduled dates and you will be charged for the nights specified in your reservation.

    Guests who have concerns about cancellations for any reason, including illness, airline cancellations, inclement weather, etc. are strongly encouraged to purchase travel insurance.

Offerings include bread and bagels from Porteur Breads (a local bakery), fresh fruit, yogurt, granola, hard boiled eggs, and more. Fresh juice, coffee, and tea are also provided.

    We intentionally designed a continental breakfast that both brings delicious local goods directly to you while also offering you the flexibility of being able to enjoy breakfast at your own convenience. While you are always welcome to eat on our property, we also know many of our guests are heading out early to explore the Midcoast.

    Guests with dietary restrictions can let us know in advance and alternative options will be provided.
