Brewster Inn Blog

Autumn “fall” is coming and the leaves are changing. Its a little early right now but over the next 4 weeks the leaf colour change  will really start to happen. Maine is well known for autumn foliage and leaf peepers who will travel long distance to see it happen and being where we are right in the centre of the state and close to I95, we get a lot of guests coming to stay. We are within easy reach of so many places, Greenville and Moosehead lake, Mt Katahdin, Arcadia National Park and Baxter State Park as well as having so many scenic drives all around us here in Dexter Maine.

We’re running plenty of “specials” this autumn giving great deals on accommodations here at the Brewster Inn so you too can come and experience the colour that we get to see up here.

Heres photos from the last couple of years showing the beautiful autumn colour

See you soon!!!

Since my last post in May??

We’ve been busy! Business has been excelent and even better than last year! The Rose and Truman rooms have changed totaly to what you see below all courtesy of our guest friend Laura from CT who redesigned the Blueberry room last year

For those of you that stayed prior to the change in the Blueberry room last year, here it is. It looks so much different!

The living room has changed too and looks quite colourful now

As has the Sun Porch too…

The Brewster clothing range is out and selling very well!

We’ve sold 60 fleece jackets this year and now have just brought out our polo shirt design

The detail of the 2 logos is brilliant!

The fleeces are $35.99 for a quarter zip or $39.99 for a full length zip in 4 colours shown here

The Brewster polo’s are $29.99 available in different sizes and colours which will appear here soon

 The gardens are being worked on now and as well as new planting all along the front lawn (no pics of that yet) we’ve pulled up all the old barberry bushes that ran from the one drive entrance to the other. Its something we had planned to for some time as unlike when the Brewsters were here and it was one perfectly manicured hedge all the way along, by the time we got here, there were just little little islands of bushes with big gaps in between and maples growing up through them. All the dead wood was in the inside and all the greenery was on the outside and when you trimmed them you were just left with the dead stuff.

Well they are no more as these pics will show and the difference just by pulling them out is impressive. It opens the front up so much more and makes the house stand out better. We love it!!

This summer we commissioned a Maine company to paint the Inn and we’ve now brought out our very own “Brewster” card for all occasssions and its selling pretty well at $2 each or 5 for $8 inc envelopes with decent sticky on the flaps!

The picture is how i envisage the gardens looking at the front of the house in 2 years time and on the back you have an image of our sign and the history of the house 

  

And below we have our new brochure! Well not exactly “new” as such as its been out 6 months but we love it and it works so well for our business
