"Blair Hill Inn is a lovely jumping-off point for exploring Maine’s rustic Northwoods and Moosehead Lake. A historic inn that offers a window into a less-explored region of Maine, the 1891 mansion features 10 guest rooms with personalized design touches, a trout pond, and plenty of hiking trails to scenic overlooks. Don't miss Slate Restaurant, where the seasonal tasting menu might include dishes like foraged mushroom risotto and balsam fir–cured gravlax." - Nicholas DeRenzo

I stayed for 5 nights with my boyfriend at the Blair Hill Inn. We were in Room 3, which was comfortable and spacious with a beautiful bathroom and a lovely view of the lake. Breakfast was included, which was delicious and made-to-order every morning. We also dined two nights at the inn's restaurant, Slate, and had great meals and drinks. Jenn, the owner, is wonderful and so attentive - if you need anything, just ask her. She booked us a moose tour and an eagle watching tour and gave us many recommendations for things to do in the area. The property itself is beautiful, situated on a hill with a great view of Moosehead Lake. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back!

This inn is truly outstanding: wholly deserving of its Relais et Chateaux designation. Our three days there were the highlight of our month-long trip to New England. Here are just some of the things we enjoyed:||* Relaxed atmosphere; with plenty of common space devoted to sitting, reading, and conversing||* Beautiful scenery; overlooking Moosehead Lake in central Maine||* Attentive, friendly hotel staff dedicated to serving your needs.||* Delicious meals served in dining areas overlooking the lake. Many of the vegetables are grown on the property.||* All of the rooms are lovely and interesting; decorated with attention to detail and historic preservation. Our room had three large windows on two sides. Lots of light and views of the lake. Our bathroom was spacious and had every amenity||* Quiet: Inn is on a hilltop, far above roads and other sources of noise.||* Variety of trails around the inn, suited to all levels of hiking ambition.||* We hated to leave!

What a wonderful, special place. We were there mid week for a short 3day get away. It was perfect!! The inn owner Jenn is very personable; as are all the staff. I enjoy chatting and they were never too busy to answer questions or discuss the inn. Our waitress at breakfast was a hoot and very efficient.|The room was amazing.. best sleep I’ve had in a while. Huge spa-like bathroom!!|The view from the front veranda was spectacular. You could see for miles and it was really entertaining to watch seaplanes coming and going and just life on the lake. We sat one evening until I got very dark. They have heaters on the porch so you can stay out there even if it’s cool.|So be a great place to go if you’re just looking to disconnect and relax, there’s not a ton to do in Greenville unless you’re hiking or fishing. We enjoyed a ride the mount Katahdin ship and walking around the shops.

Beautiful estate located on a picturesque hill overlooking Moosehead Lake. Our home for three nights. The breakfasts were wonderful, staff was very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed two prix fixe dinners at their restaurant called Slate. Excellent wines, food, service, venue… The rooms were well appointed, our king bed was very comfortable, we slept with the windows open and started a nice fire every morning to get the chill out of the room. Very decadent to be wrapped up on the couch having my coffee in the morning. There is a 2 km hike in the back of the property that leads to a gazebo where you can take a break and enjoy the views. So many well thought of touches throughout the property made it a very special place to visit.

We just stayed at the Blair Hill Inn with another couple. The rooms were outstanding. The food amazing and the service was over the top. ||You instantly feel welcome and at home. The views are incredible. We hiked the property which has two gazebos to stop and take a break in. ||The gardens are lovely. The care and attention to the property and the grounds is remarkable. The owner’s passion for hospitality and quality shows throughout!

The Inn gives guests a unique opportunity to immerse in nature, explore remote parts of the USA without sacrificing luxury accommodations, high-quality food and service. Jenn and her team make you feel well taken care of from start to finish. Jenn booked us various local experiences, made many recommendations and also packed us snacks, water, and breakfast. This included a packed breakfast in our fridge for the Moose Safari that began before sunrise, left without us asking. The Inn is truly beautiful and it’s a special place to stay. ||There’s a wonderful hiking trail right on the property, a hot tub hidden in a forest with a lit walking path, that feels like taking a magical, nightly adventure. The view of Moosehead Lake is incredible and doesn’t lose its spectacular feel no matter how many times you look at it. The sunsets are stunning, the property inviting, and the Inn is charming. Highly recommend. The tasting menu is delicious and includes local food|and unique dishes. This far exceeds our experience with a tasting menu we had in NYC two weeks earlier. The breakfast was full of options, local ingredients that were hearty, delicious and not full of junk. My only small thing is wishing the brewed coffee was a bit bolder and stronger, but that may just be my personal preference and there is a Nespresso option for espresso.|Thank you to Jenn and her staff. We really enjoyed all parts of the stay. It’s no doubt a very special place that guests can only leave feeling so grateful and lucky for the experience.

My family of 5 (wife and I with 3 adult sons) stayed at the Blair Hill Inn for 3 nights in mid-August. We were coming to Moosehead Lake in the hopes of seeing moose and enjoying a beautiful region, and we are thrilled that we picked the Blair Hill Inn for our stay. The Inn is beautiful and is set on a hill overlooking the lake. Our rooms were very comfortable. My wife and I were in Room 2, with a king bed and small sitting area, and our three adult sons were in room 10, with a king and a twin (plus trundle), good sized sitting area, and a private courtyard. The beds, linens, and other appointments were all of very high quality and were very comfortable, and some beverages and snacks are provided as a complimentary amenity, which is nice. The common areas on the first floor are very nice, from the dining area where the breakfast (that is included in your stay) is served and that becomes Slate Restaurant in the evening, to the bar and the adjoining sitting room with comfortable seating and some tables. One day was quite rainy so our family spent a good bit of time in that common area and enjoyed playing some of the board games that are provided for guests. There are also taps of water where you can refill your water bottles with still or sparkling water.||Breakfast was very good - you get two entree choices (one egg and one pancakes/waffles/french toast) with other continental-style options available. We did enjoy dinner at Slate and while pricy, the meal was excellent and we highly recommend the experience. All the food and drinks we had were very good, including some excellent cocktails.||What really made our trip special was the service and particularly all the work that Jenn, the Inn's owner, put into organizing an itinerary for us that allowed us to make the most of our trip. When we were looking at places to stay and trying to figure out what we wanted to do in our time at Moosehead Lake, my wife reached out to the Blair Hill and Jenn was quick to offer to help us arrange an itinerary. We told her what we wanted to do, and she set up a fantastic itinerary for us: two moose safari trips, a bald eagle sighting tour, a seaplane experience (which sadly was cancelled due to the rain), and recommendations for hikes. All organized by her, and with food and snacks provided when we were doing activities early morning or in the evening. It was wonderful. And the trip was better planned than we could have managed on our own because of it. Jenn and her staff also went above and beyond as hosts during our stay to make everything comfortable and convenient. ||In short we highly recommend the inn for the lodging and the food & drink experience on its own, but Jenn and her staff were what truly stood out. Thank you, Jenn!

I had massage at the spa and later we met another couple for cocktails in the lounge and dinner in the restaurant. The property sits on a hill overlooking Moosehead Lake and the view is STUNNING! The property is elegant and well kept colonial. Originally a gentleman’s horse farm, the spa is in a converted barn behind main house, the restaurant and lounge is in main house. ||SPA Country elegant. Like a Restoration Hardware magazine spread. I only had massage and didn’t use other amenities, but would definitely return and seek the full experience. ||LOUNGE Upscale relaxed with leather club chairs and a couple small tables by the windows, and a long porch with wicker furnishings overlooking the lake. We were there near sunset and watched the sun and clouds travel over the mountain backdrop of the lake. Bartender was excellent and accommodating.||MOCKTAIL OPTIONS I add this because I’m the only one in our party who doesn’t drink, and appreciate the options of mocktails with pretty garnishes and pleasing to the palate/sophistication of an adult. BIG BONUS for me!||RESTAURANT Like the rest of the property, the restaurant was tasteful and elegant with views of the lake. NOTE: It is a pre fixe menu, and all of our courses were delicious and beautifully presented. We were two couples and everyone enjoyed their choices and service. Chef came out and delivered our dinners and checked in on our meals. ||MANAGEMENT This is where I can say the visit shined. Some of our party was interested in purchasing art on display. The owner personally came to our table to talk to us. The art we wanted was not for sale, but she was very tolerant of our wine induced bargaining, and gave us the name of the artist to contact. ||Highly recommend, and would like to stay in the inn when we return.

We had a wonderful dinner. The 5-course prix fixe was outstanding. Two choices for courses three, four, and five. All were excellent, and the selection of wines by the glass was very well chosen. We will definitely return on future visits to the area.

Yelp
The food and drinks were excellent but way overpriced. There were 2 options for the prixe fix menu but they ran out of the other. There were only 2 other people in the restaurant. Service was excellent. The views at sunset were amazing. Not sure I would go back for dinner. They do have entertainment and casual food options out in the back area. This schedule is supposed to be on FB. It is not a daily event but may increase during the summer. The Spa is also very pricey. Blair Hill is a beautiful option if you can afford it.

This review is for the Slate Restaurant. Fantastic! Unbelievable! Amazing! So many superlatives could be used to describe the excellent meal we had on New Year's Eve at Blair Hill Inn. We started with Oysters, Beets, and a Pumpkin based soup. Everyone raved about them. I had the oysters and they were perfect. They may have been the best I've ever had in New England. Surprised to get oysters this good so far from the coast but I would order them every time after having them that night. Two guests had the beets and couldn't stop praising them. I tried a bite and they were incredible! The Pumpkin soup went over well also. Presentation on all appetizers was awesome. Everything was perfect. I should have mentioned that the drinks were also very good. We tried a couple specials and they were expertly prepared. For the entrees we tried a Halibut, a Steak and a couple Lobster dishes with a broth and puff pastry. I had one of the lobsters and again it was delicious and presented beautifully. I also tried a bite of the halibut which was probably the best halibut I've ever tried. Another gorgeous presentation as was the steak which I did not try but which was reported as being amazing as well. Service was perfect, the ambiance was both elegant and festive. The noise level was perfect. There's simply nothing that could have been done better. I've eaten all over the world and previously worked in the business for many years. You're going to have a difficult time finding a better dining experience. This legendary dinner, coupled with excellent company, is one of the best I've ever had. If you're ever in the Greenville area I would make time for a meal at the Slate Restaurant at Blair Hill Inn. You'll be so glad you did!

Wished the weather was better as it has a great view of the lake. Nice fancy meal for this area and service was good. Smoked fish with skin first course was fantastic with red and gold beets. Lobster bisque was just ok and more broth tasting than a bisque. The baked oyster was good just wish it had more caviar for the the salt flavor. The refresher tasted like a daiquiri and was a great cleanser. The lamb was delicious. Swordfish was not good, tough and dry. Dessert was good with apples and ice cream and some sort of bread. The cheese plate was great too. Enjoyed most of the meal. The autumn old fashion was good and reminiscent of the season.

Way over priced, left still feeling hungry after 5 course meal. Service was great however. Food was kind of boring, but with set menus it's hit or miss I guess.

We had an amazing experience at Blair Hill Inn! We were there as guests for a wedding and were completely blown away by the venue, the rooms, the dining, and the atmosphere. The venue for the wedding reception was perfect. Plenty of space for dining and dancing. As an added bonus, there is a sweet, short trail into the hills that provides nothing but silence and peace. Albeit a bit pricey, but if you are looking for an wonderful experience with wonderful staff, I highly encourage you to enjoy Blair Hill Inn.

We took a few weeks off and vacationed up to Maine after Labor Day Weekend. One of our stops was up at Moosehead Lake for the 48th Annual International Sea Plane Fly-In. https://www.seaplanefly-in.org/ We stayed at the Blair Hill Inn & Restaurant, Greenville, Maine. Ms. Jenn Whitlow (Owner/Innkeeper) and her entire staff were great and are a class act. The gourmet food was awesome and the views overlooking Moosehead Lake were amazing. If you're planning your next trip up to Maine near Moosehead Lake you definitely have to stay at the Blair Hill Inn & Restaurant. www.blairhill.com

The Slate Restaurant Fantastic, delicious food. What an amazing restaurant. The food was fabulously delectable. My husband and I wanted to lick our plates. Everything served was delicious. The presentation of the dishes inviting. The chefs ability to combine flavors was spectacular and tantalizing. The staff professional and attentive. A wonderful experience. The restaurant was clean and inviting. The views spectacular. Worth every penny. We will return.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. Luxurious accommodations, breathtaking views, and 5-star culinary experience. Everything was just first-rate. The staff are welcoming and professional. We did the Moose Safari tour and loved it! This is a special place. Full marks. We'll definitely be back.

Had dinner for New Year's, was very surprised at the lack of overall quality and choices for such a pricey menu. The Inn itself is very beautiful however but I would not recommend dining there.

Just got back from our annual fall trip to the Blair Hill Inn. As per usual, it did not disappoint. The ownership and staff at BHI are first class, accommodating, and hospitable. We are already counting down the days until next year's trip. The rooms are worth every penny. Spectacular views, first class amenities, and comfort at every then. The Inn's multi course dinner was simply incredible. Local and fresh ingredients, proper portions, and a well thought out menu. The Inn's new owner Jenn put on a master class of customer service. She accommodated a last minute schedule change we had due to a family issue and made our stay memorable. Well done to you Jenn and your entire staff!

Delicious fresh dishes with local ingredients! I love their use of flowers in their dishes and their tuna appetizer! I wish their deserts were a bit better tho! One of the highlights were the views and ambiance! Great service!!

Wonderful rooms, hospitality, dining and views. We loved our three day stay, relaxing on the porch after a day of hiking, to watch the sunset. Very friendly and hospitable staff. The Blair Hill Inn is a gem.

Beautiful, expensive, and a great experience are tbe words that come to mind when I describe my Blair Hill Inn dining experience. We did not stay in the inn,so we came @ 5:30 for pre dinner drinks.We sat on the front porch with its million dollar view and chatted with the inn's guests. We chose the price fixed 6 course dinner.The chef is very talented and the quality and flavor of the food is 5 stars.If quantity of food is important to you,I would not dine here as the portions are small.We left full and satisfied,but you will not have any leftovers! Our server Lani,was very nice and the service professional. We watched the sun do down over the lake as we enjoyed our dessert. The owners deserve credit for their efforts in restoring this historical property and have done a fantastic job.

We stopped in here hoping to have a glass of wine. We were not guests at the inn, but we were staying on the other side of the lake and found Blair Hill Inn online. It looked beautiful, so we wanted to check it out to perhaps stay here the next time we're in this area. We were greeted by a gentleman who quickly informed us the bar was for guests only. He allowed us to look around the restaurant, but he made it clear through his presence we were not welcome because we were not guests. The place was empty, except for an elderly couple sitting on the patio. The grounds are beautiful and have a beautiful view, and I'm sure it's a lovely place to stay. However, the spirit of the place was elitist and uninviting. Consequently, we will not stay here in the future. Just a little hospitality would have gone a long way and secured future business. But alas, we'll take our business elsewhere.

You can never go wrong staying at a Relais & Chateaux property, but Blair Hill Inn is truly unique and special in a myriad of ways. I traveled there on a vacation with my vegetarian daughter and if there is a true 5 star meal for a vegetarian than it is here! The chef was incredibly thoughtful and accommodating and my daughter ( who is quite well-traveled) could not get over how fabulous the food was during our stay. My meals were also five star all the way! The rooms were nicely furnished with cozy and comfortable beds, gorgeous bathrooms, and lots of spectacular views! There are several areas, both inside and outside to curl up with a good book and read or just envelope yourself in the phenomenal views overlooking the mountains and Moosehead Lake (including the steamer ship that passes by). Blair Hill Inn personifies the definition of "understated elegance" and the owner's and staff make sure that every aspect of your stay is pleasant and memorable - down to the last nuanced detail. One caveat is to book any spa treatment in advance.

Yelp
This place is a gem. Rooms are beautiful and comfortable, the restaurant is amazing, and the location can't be beat. We had a amazing 5 course dinner that truly rivaled the best meals I've had in michellen star restaurants. Probably the highlight of our stay was watching the sunset from the patio overlooking the lake. The perfect end to a perfect day. Oh, and the staff is also top notch. This is a place that screams attention to detail.

An amazing place for cocktails and dinner. Reservation definitely needed. Get there early, soak up the sun on the porch. Warm and welcoming staff, house sommelier is engaging and has crafted a great wine menu. Food is fantastic. A place to enjoy and frequent in the summer, nothing quite like that view on a nice evening.

Courtney B.

Yelp
We had the most amazing dining experience of our lives here! Everything was beautiful, unique, & absolutely delicious. The service was top notch across the board, the place is so beautiful, the view is spectacular, & the drinks before on the porch were absolutely fantastic. It isn't possible for us to say enough about it. Neither of us had ever had a true fine-dining experience before & were quite honestly not sure what exactly to expect. We were blown away! We felt so incredibly comfortable & most certainly left beyond satisfied. If you have the opportunity to go - GO!

We had cocktails and dinner, did not stay at the Inn. But if we can save our pennies, we will definitely be back to stay! An incredible evening, one of the best dining experiences of our lives.

This was our second stay at the lovely Blair Hill Inn and it was as great as the first time. Our first time was when they had just opened for the season and the restaurant was not available for dinner. This time we were able to dine at the Inn both evenings. Ruth and Dan are wonderful hosts - going out of their way to make your stay the best they can make it. The Inn itself is total luxury. Wonderful comfortable beds - luxury linens - spa like bathrooms and great spaces. The library/bar is comfortable and Dan serves a mean drink. The dinners were easily as good as we have had in Manhattan. Kudos to the chef. It was a very enjoyable stay and we look forward to visiting again next year.

Holy luxury inn, batman! Blair Hill Inn is spectacular on every level. Unfortunately we were only here for 3 night and 2 of the days we were off property for 80% of the day and didn't get to enjoy everything Blair Hill Inn had to offer. First of all the mansion is gorgeous and sits high on Blair Hill over looking Moosehead Lake. The yard is expansive and well maintained, it is a photo waiting to happen. The interior is equally as beautiful and very well cared for and restored. The rooms are updated with flat screen tvs and dvd players (the library of dvds and cds is on the main level) but they aren't prominent. The room is about relaxation. The bathroom has a deep soaking tub and a cool standing shower with the massaging river rock floor surface. Downstairs you can relax in the bar with a drink or play board games, read books, or sit on the porch swing and watch the sunset. The cost of the room includes a luxurious three course breakfast (we only got to eat there once!!!) that changes seasonally. My favorite part was the broiled grapefruit half, it was so fun! The dining area makes up a big part of the main floor and is open to everyone so even if you can't stay here, you MUST dine here one night. The price for a pre-fixe five course meal is an absurd $55. How on earth can it be so cheap? I was busting at the seams of my dress by the end of the meal and my mom couldn't finish any of her courses. The menu changes every week and you have a few options within each course. This review sounds like a lot of hyperbole, but trust me, it's Blair Hill Inn that is a hyperbole in itself. If you are looking for top to bottom luxury you cannot stay anywhere else.

Perfect wedding! This was the spot. As we drove up the hill to check out Blair Hill for the very first time, and we got our first glimpse all I could say was Holy( Bleep) this place looks awesome. That was my first intial reaction of the outside on the road. As we drove up the driveway I just hoped the inside was just as impressive and hoped the people that onwed it where cool people. And guess what my wish came true. You walk in and the first thing you see as you walk into the living room is this picture perfect view of Moosehead Lake. The inside was perfect, a style betweeen modern and old. It felt welcoming, and all you want to do was relax. Which is the point if your up in that part of Maine. We then met Ruth, the owner and person that runs the show. And she was great, right there we setup our perfect wedding for us. Ruth worked with us in everyway and took care of all our needs, especially since we live in Nevada. Which could be hard. But with Ruth took care of everything from the tables to all the small things and to the very big things like dinner. She even told us of a great place for flowers that we needed. Normally you hear people stressed about wedding planning, lets just say the wife and I didn't have that problem with Ruth taking care of us. We had all the rooms at Blair Hill for the wedding party which was awesome. Everyone's room had its own personality , and every room had a view to the lake or the garden, which the wedding party liked. The breakfasts where amazing, the views where incredible. The service was top notch. From ruth to all the servers at the wedding.. If you ever have a chance to make it to Blair hill either to eat or just stop by and check it out. You should!!

Tech veterans Dan and Ruth McLaughlin arrived from Chicago 14 years ago and have been reviving this 1891 industrialist mansion ever since. I've been coming here ever since I discovered Moosehead Lake in 2000, and every year there's a new surprise. Example: check out the new bar, which just seems to pull every bit of stress out of your body as you step into it. Perched on top of Blair Hill overlooking Moosehead Lake's endless islands and commanding one of the most beautiful views in all of North America (and I am not kidding; step out onto the veranda for a pre-dinner drink around 20 minutes before sunrise and see if you disagree), the setting is only bested by the five-course prix fixe dinner on Fridays and Saturdays during the summer, usually cooked by Jack Neal, a terrific chef who delivers the goods every time. Always great music (don't miss the summer concert series in the barn), always genuine warmth and love from Dan and Ruth, and with gorgeous appointments in every corner, this is a place that marks the high point of every trip I make to Moosehead. Go see for yourself!

There is no place like the Blair Hill Inn! From the moment you walk in and are greeted by Ruth and the gorgeous views of Moosehead Lake to the delicious five course dinners, delicious cocktails by Tunny and waking up to the great breakfasts by Dan. The rooms are all first class, immaculate and beautiful! A place to look forward to returning to.

John T.

Yelp
What an incredible inn! Every detail is perfection. An incredible staff lead by owners Dan and Ruth meet all of your needs and the vies over the lake will calm you and make you feel like you are in heaven. The meals were innovative and so so good and when Ruth recommended another local restaurant you can bet it will be great. My wife and I have been happily married for over 40 years and this is at the top of our list for romantic get always. BTW ask for room 1, as it is worth the extra $$ for the luxury and views!

Susan M.

Yelp
Our wedding party stayed here for the weekend and this place is exceptional. I am impressed that a place like this exists in a small town! Located on top of a hill it has the best view of the lake. The house has an old charm to it but it is very well maintained. Ruth is very sweet and they treat you like family. The food is amazing also!

Yelp
While visiting Moosehead Lake several years ago I saw this place, I stopped in to check it out and was treated very rudely. It was as if I had walked into a private residence without permission, but this is a public Inn! I would never recommend exposing yourself to that sort of toxic behavior. This is a remote location, there are many, pick another one to enjoy yourselves. Maine is beautiful.

Judith S.

Yelp
Dining at the Blair Hill Inn is THE BEST in the Moosehead area! It is fine dining in an incredibly beautiful setting. Flawless service and the FOOD? Oh MY! Divine! I still say BHI offers one of THE BEST fine dining experiences in Maine... in the top 5 easily. Love it!

Shelby F.

Yelp
The best food I've ever had. My boyfriend and I did the five courses for $65 each. The wine and the food were absolutely amazing! You enjoy an amazing view while sitting down to dinner. I've had family members eat dinner at the Blair Hill and they too said it was the best food they've ever eaten. I definitely plan on going again.

We have just visited the Inn for our third time and had another lovely weekend. The Inn is simply luxurious. Each of the rooms have been meticulously updated and maintained. The common areas are warm and welcoming. After a day of hiking and kayaking on Moosehead Lake, we return to the Inn to shower in luxury. Then a drink on the porch to watch the sunset (behind the mountain and over the lake), followed by a 5 star meal. On rainy days one can sit on the porch and read while enjoying endless cups of coffee. But the best part of a visit to Blair Hill is the chance to get to know Ruth and Dan. Both are extremely gracious and welcoming. And the dogs are fun, too!

I find myself struggling to find the words to do this place justice, but here goes. My wife and I got married here and from planning to execution, the Blair Hill Inn creates an inviting, relaxed and elegant atmosphere. In all of our travels, we have not found accommodations that we more highly recommend. Moosehead Lake is a beautiful area of Maine, with a range of activities for families, couples, and anyone looking to enjoy nature and quietude. With easily the best possible view of the lake and mountains surrounding it, Blair Hill Inn complements the natural beauty and elevates it to something like heaven. The building, perched on a green hill with beautiful stonework and several towering pines, is majestic. They could sell me passes just to sit on the large porch and enjoy the view it affords. The interior design is absolutely perfect, with tasteful, high end furniture and décor that doesn't feel dusty or stuffy like some New England inns can. It strikes an absolute perfect balance of old and new features with such thoughtfulness in every aspect. Just when you think a day at the Blair Hill Inn is nearing perfection, you will witness a sunset from its windows that is unparalleled. You also cannot go wrong with any of the rooms. Our family members booked up the whole inn for our wedding. The Inn became our home for the weekend and after spending time in each room, we didn't at any point think someone drew a short straw. Each space is different, with a unique arrangement, feature or design that makes us want to stay in it. Food is a big draw for this place and we loved all that we ate there. Our guests enjoyed lamb, swordfish, and pork loin for the wedding and every dish was savory and fresh. The breakfasts were awesome (I've never been excited over eggs until I tried theirs) and the service was, in keeping with a theme you might have noticed, perfect. What really brings the whole experience together is the efforts of owners Ruth and Dan. They are the best. Over the course of our planning they did everything to be helpful, accommodating, and patient. They are two of the nicest people we've ever met and I can't imagine such a beautiful place in the hands of better people. In summary, we will come back any chance we get. Even though it's a 5 hour drive from Boston and we may only stay one night, we know it will feel worthwhile. Stay here!

My husband and I celebrated his 60th birthday with dinner at the Blair Hill Inn. It was a wonderful experience; both dinner and the ambiance which were such a sharp contrast with the ruggedness and raw beauty of the Moosehead Region. We felt the dinner was excellent and priced fairly. Our server, Lily, was delightful and was able to pick up subtle hints that it was my husband's birthday. The only thing that I would have changed would be that the bar open at 5 rather than 5:30 which gave us only a short 30 min. to enjoy the view and our cocktail before our 6:00 seating.

This place is ABSOLUTELY amazing & wonderful with caring and hospitable innkeepers... A true gem of a beautifully restored and maintained Bed & Breakfast! Rooms are large and comfortable with fresh, crisp linens and everything you would expect from a five-star experience! The breakfast is creative and full of fresh ingredients. And that doesn't even begin to go into the grounds and incredible view Moosehead Lake.
