Captain Nickels Inn

This property is immaculate. Views of the sea sweep one up to the romance of a sea captain’s wife waiting for her husband to come home from his latest voyage. It is a beautiful home and property. Breakfast is hearty and delicious. Dawn is lovely and knowledgeable about the area. Staff are obviously proud of how clean they keep things. This is an idyllic break.

What a fantastic place! We thoroughly enjoyed our four night stay at this beautiful historical Inn. The suite we were in had a large balcony overlooking the massive, well-kept lawn, and the water. Plus on those chilly days there is a fire table to warm up with. The room was spotlessly clean, well-appointed, comfortable and the shower is massive. Everything is done right! The breakfasts were superior and a delight to have every morning. We would highly recommend at stay at Captain Nickels Inn.

My wife and I arrived afternoon of 9/26 as a stop over on the way to Bar Harbor. We received texts from the Inn to schedule our check-in. We were greeted by Dawn who gave brief tour of the Inn. In the back of the Inn is a bar which overlooks a quarter mile green way on the way to the bay. We purchased a bottle of prosecco and walked to the bay, sat in adirondack chairs and watched the sunset. Not bad. The Inn is 150 years old with an addition built in the 20's and is in good shape. Enjoyed the sound of the wood floors. Not much to do in Searsport but Belfast not far which has active shopping district with several restaurants. We received recommendations from the Inn which were well received. At the Inn, coffee, tea, snacks and water were available 24 hours a day. Breakfast was served from 7:30 until 9:00 a.m. I am an eggs, potato's and bacon kind of guy but the pumpkin french toast was fun. Rather than sit in the dining room (which also has worthwhile views) we were allowed a room to ourselves in the back bar area overlooking the grounds and the harbor.

Our stay at Captain Nickels Inn was delightful! We were greeted warmly at our check in, and shown the facilities and our room. The bed was really comfortable, and the ensuite bath was generous. We enjoyed drinks that we took down to the water to watch the day draw to a close. There were a couple of bottles of a delicious Barbera wine left. We purchased one and enjoyed it while sitting around the fire pit following our dinner in Belfast. Next morning, the breakfast was a truly special treat! Presentation was exquisite and the homemade foods were so good! I felt like I was at a Michelin restaurant! We would love to return!

I actually planned my Maine vacation around staying at this beautiful Inn after seeing photos of it online . The Inn is gorgeous inside and the grounds are immaculate. And the location is perfect for exploring Belfast, Camden, Rockland and all of the charming towns nearby. It was so nice to come back to the Inn after a busy day and relax in the adirondack chairs overlooking the ocean. And the breakfasts each morning were delicious!

Beautiful Inn. The Innkeeper Dawn was very welcoming. The grounds were gorgeous and breakfast was delicious. Sit in the Adirondack chairs and watch the sunset! Close to Belfast where lots of choices for dinner. We will definitely stay there again next time we are in the area.
