"What's the backstory on this place?Chebeague Island Inn is quaint, coastal, and accessed only by ferry. Although it's locally owned, the property is part of the Hay Creek Hotel Group. Tell us all about the accommodations. Any tips on what to book?Rooms are cozy and comfortable. There's no TV, alarm, or phone, so you'll definitely feel like you're on island time. Is there a charge for Wi-Fi?Free. Drinking and dining—what are we looking at?The kitchen turns out excellent American cuisine and it's actually a popular brunch spot for locals. And the service? As smooth and efficient as you'd hope. The hotel can arrange curated experiences, including Bike & Brew, Epicurean Delight, and Beach Getaway. What about the neighborhood? Does the hotel fit in, make itself part of the scene?The island has one general store, one road, and one golf course. Still, in summer, the population swells from 400 to 4,000. Any other hotel features worth noting?The staff can organize a picnic for you at nearby Hamilton Beach, just a short walk away or curated experiences, like a Bike & Brew, or a food-centric Epicurean Delight. Complimentary L.L. Bean bicycles make for easy, two-wheeled exploration. Bottom line: Worth it? Why?Come to unplug on island time—without sacrificing comfy amenities." - Joe Ricchio

Very good cocktails and food. The bar is great and it's a good meeting area for Island community members. I've had some many good times here. The service and drinks are wonderful and the fact you can visit a bar in the Island is amazing. If your on the Island and have some extra money it's definitely worth it.

Simply the best meal I've ever had. Green Goddess salad was phenomenal and the Pollock Schnitzel was unique and incredibly flavorful. The summer zucchini was a one-of-a-kind approach to the vegetable, and the unusual combination of flavors worked perfectly. One of the most unique and astounding restaurants I've ever attended. Prices match the setting, quality and ambiance, it is pricey, but it is well worth the overtime. Finished it off with Maine Blueberry Pie, a wonderful addition and conclusion to the meal. Our waiter, a younger gentleman whose name evades my consciousness was incredibly polite, accomodating, and wonderful. Overall, a stunning evening with wonderful food, great company and excellent ambiance. A must-go if given the wonderful opportunity to experience this superb and stellar dining escapade.

My husband and I spent 2 nights at the Inn and exploring the island. First of all, we ate all our meals there and each one was a 10 out of 10. Not one bite disappointed. I highly recommend the monkfish schnitzel topped with lobster entree, but everything from salad to desert was incredible. The only exception was the coffee in the morning. Really needs improvement. There is a 9 hole golf course (unaffiliated with the Inn) out front which is very fun to play. Rooms are small with nice linens, and beautiful breezes off the bay. The large wraparound porch is a great place to have a drink, read, or stare at the view or sunset. lobby and sitting room are cozy too. This is a non pretentious 100+ year old hotel with old school charm.

Absolutely fabulous! The location is so special and the trip to reach the island is a wonderful part of the experience. We enjoyed drinks and small bites on the porch overlooking the grounds with Casco Bay in the background. Our host / server was David, who couldn't have been more hospitable and accommodating. A must do / see when visiting the Portland area.

This is not a four star hotel, a good three. The issue is it has a five star restaurant with top notch service. The hotel rooms are basic, well executed with nice beds and artwork, but more northwoods cabin-like than upscale hotel. This is a seasonal hotel with no heat or a/c in the rooms. No dresser for clothes in most rooms. No housekeeping even after 4 days. Lovely location and warm rustic atmosphere in the dining and first floor great room. Staff was very helpful and friendly on site. Hard to make phone contact with the front desk. Great porch space. WiFi is good. The restaurant is the reason to come. Interesting, well executed menu. Really nice selection of cocktails. Remember closes mid-October.

We try to get out to the Inn a couple of times during the summer. What a great location. Our lunch was good. My wife had the fish cake which was excellent. Fries were very good. The chicken salad on focaccia was ok. Last year it was better I think. The focaccia was bathed in butter and grilled but there should have been either less butter or the bread should have been longer on the grill as the butter was a bit over powering. We had a good waiter but he never came back during lunch so I had to go to the kitchen to get ice tea refills. Great that they offer gluten free bread for one of the four of us but the waiter didn't know if that was a roll or bread. We will return and hope this feedback helps the restaurant!

My recent stay at the Chebeague Inn was nothing short of spectacular. Dave, the General Manager, truly sets the tone for the exceptional experience here. His warm hospitality makes every guest feel welcome and well-cared-for on the island. The restaurant at the Chebeague Inn is a culinary gem. The dishes (we had the lobster special, halibut, burger, fish sandwich, the mussels, and the crudo) are thoughtfully prepared with fresh, local ingredients, offering a delightful dining experience with every meal. The combination of gourmet cuisine and the beautiful view of the Casco Bay creates the perfect ambiance for a memorable evening. The inn’s location is simply breathtaking. Nestled right on the water and golf course offering stunning views and a serene atmosphere, making it an ideal escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. One of the highlights of our stay was the visit to the nearby sand bar. Fletcher and Dave guided us to this hidden gem, allowing us to walk across to Little Chebeague Island. The experience of exploring this natural wonder was both unique and enchanting, adding an extra layer of magic to our trip.

It's a beautiful location!! The food was good. They do not have enough vegetarian options though, they are bread, salad, and the one vegetarian entree. When we inquired about off menu options so we could have some variety in our meal they said no. At a restaruant with these prices we've never not had the option of getting something vegetarian off menu. So there was a lot of eggplant at our table.
