The Squire Tarbox Inn

Located near scenic rivers, creeks and marshes, this inn is situated on laid-back Westport Island. It's close to charming towns such as Wiscasset and Damariscotta. That said, the inn seemed to offer little for its steep price. The buffet breakfast was tasty but very limited; definitely not a full breakfast. Samantha was quite friendly. The Mario Room was simple and comfortable, with a small, broken table for a nightstand, peeling paint and a cramped bathroom, but also pretty views of a meadow and pond. Relaxing, but not worth the price.

The location of the inn is undeniably peaceful, set in a beautiful natural environment. The setting is picturesque, ideal for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall charm of the place. The inn itself boasts a quaint, rustic farmhouse appearance with its wooden beams and pine floorboards, creating a cozy and nostalgic atmosphere. However, my experience with the room we were given was less than ideal. Despite the inn's overall appeal, the room itself felt like a shoebox. At 5’11” and 6ft each, my husband and I found the space very cramped and often had to duck below the ceiling rafters. The quarters were especially tight for two people and the room heated up quickly. Although there was air conditioning, it unfortunately switched off during the night and required restarting, adding to our discomfort. Additionally, our room was located below another, and we could not only hear but also feel the footsteps of the residents above, which disrupted our rest. I had anticipated a serene night with only the moon and stars illuminating the surroundings. However, the room we were assigned was accessed by an outdoor staircase, and a bright safety light positioned outside our bedroom window shone through the minimal window blinds. Despite my attempts to block the light with towels, it still penetrated, making it difficult to sleep. In conclusion, while the inn has many positive attributes including its location, setting, and friendly staff, our particular room's layout and location significantly impacted our comfort and overall experience.

This place is phenomenal. The grounds are amazing and the Inn itself is beautifully renovated. Loved the serenity of the island and hiking the preserve. The staff was awesome as well. Will definitely be back!

We spent 2 nights at the Squire Tarbox Inn. It is really a hidden gem off the coast of Maine. Beautiful rooms, excellent bedding, stunning grounds. The owner/host was particularly helpful, welcoming and charming. She went out of her way to make our stay fantastic! Highly recommended.

Great place! Staff were Fantastic, Breakfast.. made in house, different each day All Delicious. Rooms are historical with simple modern upgrades. A perfect place for weddings etc. Would Definitely recommend

Charming and quintessential New England inn with beautiful, simple, contemporary decor. Stunning waterway that can be accessed by a 5-minute walk out the back of the property.

This is a very unique place to stay. The grounds are nice, the rooms are well done and the service is friendly. My daughter loved staying in the loft and wished we could have spent more time there.

If you are going to Mid Coast Maine or traveling along the coast this is a must stay! It is gorgeous, beautifully decorated and we can’t say enough good things about the owner Lisa and the staff. Our first morning there we were enjoying the complimentary breakfast on the back deck and my husband said “Am I in heaven?” Can’t wait to come back and bring friends and family! Would recommend for any season.
