The Ark
95% independentSet in a colonial house on Deer Isle's Main Street, The Ark pairs warm, refined guest rooms with a scattering of cottages just off the village center. Meals and drinks happen in the converted barn, where the restaurant and bar draw locals as readily as overnight guests. With 138 reviewers averaging 4.8, it's the rare small inn that people seem to leave genuinely charmed.
Why we call this independent
A singular, idiosyncratic name ('The Ark') with a single-property website and a Main Street address in a small Maine island village shows no chain naming or multi-location signals; the historic colonial setting, handful of rooms and cottages, and in-house barn restaurant all point to an owner-operated independent inn.
