The Inn


Ocean Front View

“We felt right at home in the parlor. We watched a movie last night & it was great.”

“Your pool is so clean, I love the crystal clear water”

 

 

Step inside our sea captain’s home & you’ll find that it retains many of her beautiful architectural details, an imposing Italian marble mantle & the warmth & charm of days gone by. The Hodgdon Island Inn is our home. We invite you as guests & friends to share in her beauty. We do not pretend to be a big hotel. We hope that you will accept our hospitality in the spirit in which it is intended; that your stay will be relaxing & restful; that you will enjoy the food, the grounds & the fun of meeting new people. If you are seeking an unpretentious, quieter place, comfortable & homey, yet still nearby all of the local activities, you will not be disappointed.

Room 3

"Thank you very much for making our stay at your most beautiful home a memorable one. The room was gorgeous & furnished so nice and clean. Both of you sitting on the porch & talking with us made us feel like part of your family. Your home cooking was great & I could smell the cookies upstairs..."

Bench

"We loved every minute of our stay here- and everything about it. Rarely have we been so thoughtfully taken care of. The country-side can be endlessly roamed, & the food endlessly eaten!"

The Neighborhood

Aside from our close proximity to all the activities offered in the Boothbay Region, The Hodgdon Island Inn also offers many activities within walking distance. You can watch one of only two remaining manually operated swing bridges ~. It’s just next door! Grab something to eat at the Trevett County Store where lobster and seafood are served fresh from Maine's cold salt waters. Enjoy it on their deck across the street, or bring it back to the inn where you have full use of the dining room, porch & grounds. The Hodgdon Island Inn is the closest B&B inn to the new  Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, the largest botanical gardens in the U.S.! ~ 248 acres of trails & beauty. Across the bridge, on Barter's Island,  enjoy a nature walk in Porter's Preserve or at Schoolhouse Pond (Boothbay Harbor Land Trust lands are open year round for low impact activities) or hike Gregory's Trail (Sawyer's Island),  just minutes away.

Pool

 

"This has been a most relaxing stay. The inn is beautiful & peaceful. We've definitely upped our serenity quotient!"

Above all, The Hodgdon Island Inn offers our guests a perfect environment to relax and unwind.
