Homemade Pie independent inns

Set on a quiet residential street a few blocks from Rockland's harbor, Berry Manor Inn occupies an 1800s house where the period details — the moldings, the mantels, the proportions of the rooms — have been kept intact and dressed in something more stylish than stuffy. The signature gesture is a nightly one: homemade pie, complimentary, which explains a good deal of the inn's 4.9-star devotion across more than 350 reviews. It's an upscale bed-and-breakfast in the old Maine sense, where the hospitality is specific rather than scripted.
