What Our Guests are Saying:
Brewster Inn in Dexter Maine should be on every bucket list! We have always admired the Brewster Inn when we visited our relatives in Dexter. We recently lost our uncle and returned for his funeral. This was our first time staying at a B&B and what a treat it was! Mark and Tina were wonderful hosts. The Inn is beautiful, you can tell they have put many hours of love into the Inn to bring it to its original grandeur. The breakfasts were yummy, they are talented cooks. We will leave you guessing on what they serve so you have to visit to find out.
We rented the game room and it didn’t disappoint. The bed was extremely comfortable, the room spotless, and the linens high quality. Whether you are a first time B&Ber or frequently stay at one, this is a must! Maine has a lot to offer and this is a perfect place to stay while you explore. Thank you Mark & Tina for the memorable experience.” Sanibel
