What a wonderful time we have had! Every detail perfect. We’ve been to lots of B&B’s but you are the best!

Our three and four-course breakfasts will take you through a day of skiing, hiking, or sightseeing. We provide fresh and locally grown products whenever possible and make use of a bulk-order coop to get lots of good organic ingredients.

For example,  organic fresh eggs delivered to our door every week from Orchard Hill Farm in Andover, Maine, are the basis for Allen's special omelettes and other delicious items. The Maine maple syrup we serve is also certified organic and is produced by Steve Hardy of Mountain Maple Farm. We use dairy products from Oakhurst, a Maine dairy that pledges to use milk only from BGH-free cows. Our butter comes from Vermont cows that actually pasture on grass. We care about the food that goes into our bodies and try to give you the healthiest and most delicious breakfast you’ll find anywhere.

Having had our own first experiences with B&B’s in England, we have developed the habit of afternoon tea. We love sharing this tradition with our guests – a great way to relax at the end of a busy day.

We are able to accommodate special dietary needs–just let us know what you require when you make your reservation.
