What Our Guests are Saying about our Maine Vacation Destination:
“I had the pleasure of staying at the Brewster Inn in Aug ’23 when I visited Maine for the first time. We were looking for a true B&B experience where I could enjoy some local atmosphere in a warm and welcoming environment. I found it at the Brewster Inn. Mark and Tina were great hosts – very friendly and knowledgeable. Mark showed me where I could find several local attractions and spots of interest I likely wouldn’t have found on my own. The entire place is very clean and tastefully decorated with many photos and artifacts describing the building’s interesting past. The back patio was a relaxing place to read and relax.“ Byron
