Greater Portland + Casco Bay
Inn at Sunrise Point
Lincolnville, ME, United States
This seasonal property on Maine’s central coast is open from April through October and resides on a grassy knoll along Penobscot Bay’s rocky shore. The compound features white chairs (rocking and stationary) both on the grass and along a patio, a main house, and several cottages named for local legends like writer Richard Russo and painter Winslow Homer. Sunrise Point features a three-course breakfast each morning in the conservatory, with options like a smoked salmon and goat cheese omelet or whole wheat pancakes with wild Maine blueberries. The library has wood walls, a fireplace, and a full bar that yields wine and cocktails.
Room to Book:
Rooms on the second floor come with balconies and prime views of the bay. The uppermost Wyeth Loft has best light, thanks to a skylight and peaked ceiling that allows room for more windows.
Insider Tip:
The sunrise indeed arrives over Penobscot Bay, and people looking to get a headstart on the sun can rent a vessel, either a kayak or a historic wind-powered schooner.
