Quaint is the word that comes to mind. We were in Maine in the off-season, when much was closed for the winter, so the focus was on a restful vacation. The Beach Cottage Inn is located in a scenic spot -- our balcony looked out over Penobscot Bay, and it was warm enough a few days to sit out. Unfortunately, our host was out-of-town for a family emergency, but we didn't lack for anything since Rob, a neighbor, filled-in and made sure our stay was nice. If you are looking for a modern hotel, go elsewhere, but if you are looking for a place that feels homey and comfortable, I would recommend the Beach Cottage Inn.
