Captain Nickels Inn

Historical Charm and Location: The hotel offers a stunning blend of historical charm and modern comfort, situated in a prime location with breathtaking views of the ocean and easy access to nearby attractions like Belfast, Camden, and Bar Harbor.

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!

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.
