Great little B&B with a cool history. We were greeted by the owners upon arrival who were super nice and gave us the lay of the land before leaving us on our own. There is a tavern located below the rooms with a private entrance for guests. The music from the tavern can be a little loud if you're planning on going to bed before 10pm, but the food & service at the tavern was FANTASTIC (chef prepared and inspired - don't miss out on the specials!) Even with few guests during our off season stay, breakfast was warm and ready for us when we made our way to the enclosed veranda in the morning.
Highly recommend this little slice of heaven.
This place is an absolute delight and I wish we were staying longer! The staff is incredible, the place is impeccably kept (and decorated), breakfast was perfect and they even have a cool tavern that the owner kept open for us to have a nightcap after our 8 hour drive. We would definitely come back - and will! What a charming find!
We loved the charm of this property and very much enjoyed the use of the common spaces including the library and pool table. Check-in and check out we're very easy and the hosts were communicative. The space is historic but impeccably clean. We would certainly book again.

We are thrilled to hear of your wonderful time spent at The Homeport Tavern Martha!Arnaud Lessard
It is actually a very large historic house with large en suite rooms on the main floor with the breakfast area, and the restaurant is below with its entrance to the rear. I don't believe we ever heard noise from below while we were there.
What I would recommend is that they put any additional fees associated with booking through a 3rd party at the top of the description to avoid any departure surprises.
As an old Captains house you field the history of the building and the owners have lovingly renovated the property with their own modern twist.
The room (6) was beautiful with a comfortable sitting area as well as a porch. Cleaned every day. The breakfast was delicious and Allison on hand each day for chats and questions. The linked but separate Tavern serves delicious food.and cocktails and very popular in the area. Live music every day but doesn’t impact on the noise level of residents. Close enough for a drive to Acadia as well as Camden, Castine and the Narrow Bridge Observatory 12 mins up the road.
Can’t recommend this place enough!!!!!

The Innkeepers are amazing! They took time to tell us the Inns history and toured us around the property.

Thank you so very much for your patronage and we are thrilled that you had an enjoyable experience at The Homeport Inn and Tavern.
The proprietors did everything to make our one night stay comfortable. The beds/pillows are great (and I'm a stickler for that), room was comfortable, breakfast was delish and homemade with a yummy fritatta, oatmeal, croissants, etc. Not just putting out pastries. The Tavern was expensive but the food was so good!

The owners perform their job as innkeepers well.
Though I would advise people looking to stay here that one of the rooms is very, very small. It should be listed as a room for 1 person.

We are so very glad that you enjoyed your time at the Homeport Inn and Tavern.We do realize that the "Economy Room" that was selected is on the small size and is listed at 150 sq. ft. and agree that it is tight for two adults but is absolutely suitable for two guests. The guest room is clearly advertised as such.Many Thanks Again, Arnaud Lessard
Arno and Alison went above and beyond with their hospitality. We had a wonderful experience. If you can't find a room and you are in the area at least come for a dinner at the Tavern. Great food and atmosphere. Will definitely visit again when in the area!

Beautiful, historic home that has been well maintained. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The absolute best---- the breakfasts. Fresh, delicious and tasty.
The included fresh cooked breakfast was amazing! Staff was super friendly and professional. Communication was excellent. Highly recommended place to stay.
Unique historic building.Inside kept like in old years. Exceptionally nice and helpful hostess Anita and Marcia. Breakfast better taste and served than in any 5 star hotel. Very clean and comfortable beds. Bamboo bed linens which we loved. Special treats were greatly appreciated. The best muffins I ever had, and !home baked! Simply a great Inn. Thanks again Marcia and Anita.

The property was fine - typical B&B. Town it was in had no place to eat or shopping. All areas along the Maine
country roads have very limited amenities. Bar Harbor is very nice, but surrounding villages are very short on
amenities. Covid is only partly at fault. Strictly scenery - not much else.
What a beautiful Inn. We are from the midwest and we tour home like this.
It was exciting to explore this historic Inn. Our stay was only one night, because we were on the "road". Next time our stay will be longer. The hosts were gracious.
Thank you for sharing.
