The Northeast & Mid-Atlantic

Maine

Because there’s no place quite like it. Salt air, fresh seafood, cottages lining pine-trimmed beaches—it’s summer in Maine. The recently revamped 32-room Inn at Ocean’s Edge, outside Camden, satisfies the season’s requirements in style. Chef Bryan Dame, formerly of Virginia’s Inn at Little Washington, has taken over the waterfront restaurant, the Edge, where he reinterprets classics (flan with Maine sweet corn; brick-oven salt-roasted lobster). The glass-fronted pool house and attached pair of suites all have views of picturesque Penobscot Bay.
