You should stay, wonderful historic inn

I highly recommend staying at Homeport Inn and Tavern, it’s a beautiful property and the owner and host is extremely friendly. The property is historic and very nicely renovated. Beautiful, and I mean beautiful common areas and up to date comforts that you don’t always find in an historic inn. You should definitely stay. We also highly recommend the attached Tavern.Trust me when I say that it’s not your typical bar food. I had the halibut and my partner had the ribs. Both entrees were delicious. The tavern hosts musical venues and jam sessions. We were there and had the opportunity to listen to Keltic music; it was magical.

Pleasant surprise

The hotel is obviously an old and beautiful mansion of days gone by. It is well kept, but not perfect. The lower level is a tavern which was convenient because my husband and I didn't want to drive to a restaurant at the end of a long day. Decent pub food. Check-in was a bit confusing. We didn't read all the info ahead of time but the Tavern staff helped us get settled. The breakfast was very good and had many choices but you need to get there early. The coffee was excellent. The room was spacious but we would have appreciated a small sofa or extra chair. The bathroom was clean and well equipped. The wifi was fine. The windows were not operable, maybe for security. I would stay here again.

I need to brag about this gem we found. Originally picked it for the midsummer night's feels. We This place was a perfect midpoint between Boston Airport and Acadia NP. The Homeport Inn has a restaurant (tavern) on site. Live music dinner specials. The provided gourmet breakfast with farm to table eats. Built in 1865 by a local Sea Captain. The history and architecture was so beautiful. Great deal since we'd built up so many points. Highly recommend if youre looking for quiet and away from the crowds.

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!

We would definitely come back - and will! What a charming find!

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.
