Landscaped grounds independent inns

Set at the end of a private road in Lincolnville, this upmarket bayside bed & breakfast spreads across landscaped grounds where the waterfront does most of the talking. Rooms and cottages are airy and quietly refined, most with a fireplace to take the chill off and a deck for watching the light change over the bay. Guests are unusually devoted dash; a 4.9 rating across more than 250 reviews suggests the kind of place people return to rather than merely visit.
