"Sprawling and sustainable, this Cape Elizabeth property a 15-minute drive from downtown Portland seamlessly blends topnotch service with laid-back-chic style. It leans into its five-acre spot on Crescent Beach State Park with environmental programs, long-term commitments to restore the land it around it, and green design throughout. That means breathtaking landscaping and stunning marches double as a habitat for local wildlife as much as it does 7EV chargers, green energy (100% of the property’s clean electricity comes from solar), and composting programs for guests. And the Inn doesn’t merely accept dogs, it celebrates them; with kinds of spaces and treats for pooches, it’s one of the most canine-friendly high-end properties in New England." - Joe Ricchio, Alexandra Hall
