We recently stayed at Captain Nickels Inn in Searsport, and it was truly one of the best bed and breakfast experiences we’ve ever had. The inn is beautifully decorated—every detail feels warm, elegant, and welcoming—and it is spotlessly clean, easily the cleanest inn we’ve ever visited. We visited with lifelong friends who discovered this gem, and we’re so glad they did. The property sits right on the lake, with numerous cozy sitting areas to relax and take in the peaceful water views. During our stay, we especially loved admiring the vibrant fall leaves all around the property—it was absolutely stunning. One evening we asked the owner to prepare a cheese board with wine, and it was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and enjoyed in a lovely lakeside setting. The service was spectacular—warm, attentive, and genuinely caring from start to finish. The inn is also conveniently located about an hour from Acadia National Park, making it the perfect home base for exploring the area while still enjoying quiet comfort at the end of the day. We can’t recommend Captain Nickels Inn highly enough—a true Maine treasure that we can’t wait to visit again!

Great experience. This is a beautiful building with a great view. This is very close to nearby Belfast ME which I highly recommend. Dawn was a great host which great suggestions for food, etc. They also accommodated our food allergy for breakfast. As a person with mobility issues I would highly recommend the ADA room on the main floor, the stairs to the second floor are not...just don't do it. There are steps to the front door and a step up into the foyer. You'll have to ask the host about alternative/ADA entrances. The grassy grounds are a little rough as well, so watch your step(if you use a cane/walker.) But totally worth the effort if you can stay here - especially for more than 1 night.

We stayed at the Captain Nickels Inn in October when we visited Maine for our fall trip, and we were immediately taken with this special place. The inn is centrally located, near several charming towns, and not too far from Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor - just a little over an hour drive - such that we could we could easily do a day trip to the park and town. Dawn is the perfect hostess, so personable and accommodating. On the way to the inn we asked if we could have a charcuterie board which she perfectly prepared for us and we enjoyed with wine. The staff is just as friendly and the service second to none. Dawn and her staff prepare a lovely and hefty breakfast every morning. There is always coffee, tea, and hot chocolate available and even cookies at night. The well-appointed rooms are beautifully decorated with so much attention to detail. The inn is extremely clean and inviting with many cozy common spaces to relax in including two living areas, dining room, bar, front porch, and multiple outdoor spaces with Adirondack chairs to sip on a warm cup of coffee or a glass of wine. The grounds are beautifully landscaped. Our favorite was walking the extensive lawn to the water to watch the sunrise. Two days didn’t feel like enough time. We only wish we had stayed there longer to enjoy the inn even more so we will definitely be back!

Captain Nickels Inn was beautiful. The welcoming texts leading up to our stay were great! The bedroom (we were in the Harriet room) was very comfortable and cozy- we slept so well here. Everything was clean and staff and other guests all friendly. The breakfasts were amazing (strawberry griddle cakes and breakfast tacos while we were there) A lovely place to stay while in the area!

Great stay. Room (Amos suite) was perfect. Just wish it had been warmer and good have enjoyed the private deck. We had stayed there previously a few years ago and so many beautiful changes have improved the entire site. You can’t beat the view. Very near to one of are favorite places in Maine, Belfast.

This inn is gorgeous! From the beautiful historic details restored with skill and kept with care to the luxurious linens and homemade breakfasts you will be impressed with every bit! The location is peaceful. Its oversized side porch, balconies and decks overlook a sweeping lawn down to the ocean. The Inn is within a small town but just a quick drive to Belfast and can’t miss sites. Perhaps the best feature though is the Inn Keeper (and staff). She is kind and helpful and finds the perfect balance between friendly and professional.

This was our second year staying at Captain Nickels Inn. Dawn is a wonderful host and her and her daughter have created such a comfortable and welcoming Inn. We look forward to going back next year
