Item Description

Bid on this item to receive one relaxing overnight mid-week stay in an Ocean View room with a private bath at the Chebeague Island Inn. This item includes a gourmet breakfast. 

One of the few remaining inns that once dotted the coast and played an important part in Maine summers, the Chebeague Island Inn has garnered numerous awards from Conde Nast Traveler and included on its Annual Gold List - a collection of the Top 500 hotels in the world. In addition to being ranked 11th in the Top 50 Small Hotels in 2011, the Inn was ranked 6th best in the Northeast and the #1 Best Hotel in Maine in 2012.  Touted as a "must-experience" food destination in Portland Magazine in 2010, the Inn was featured in Saveur magazine in 2011 and Executive Chef Justin Rowe was named "one of the chefs you need to know in Portland, Maine" in 2012.  

The Chebeague Island Inn has 21 intimate guest rooms with ocean or garden views.  Completely restored in 2004, each room has been individually detailed by Maine artists and artisans. All offer the comfort of custom queen-sized beds with lofty down bedding and Italian hem-stitched linens. And the simple quiet of another time, free of telephones and TV.

Enjoy reading in the Great Room with its vast stone fireplace. Sip cocktails on the front porch.  Play croquet, lawn bowling, horseshoes or badminton.  Go lobstering or clamming with a local fisherman and have the executive chef prepare your catch.  Enjoy access to a 9-hole course at the Great Chebeague Golf Club.  Play tennis. Swim at the nearby sandy beach.  Take leisurely walks or a hike to Deer Point.  Borrow one of their new Felt beach cruisers or L.L. Bean fishing poles. 

Dine in their 75-seat restaurant offering gourmet fine dining by Chef Justin Rowe formerly of White Barn Inn, Grissini's, On the Marsh and Portland's Fore Street and 555 Restaurants. 

Located two hours from Boston, 30 minutes from the Portland International Jetport, a 15-minute ferry ride from Cousins Island, yet you will feel a world away. 

The Chebeague Island Inn, with its panoramic ocean views, offers a magical, elegant, and uniquely Maine setting for your vacation pleasure.
