The White Barn Inn is ranked among the top 25 North American small hotels. Last year, The White Barn Inn restaurant topped the ranking of any restaurant in a resort worldwide in Conde Nast Traveler's Best of the Best awards. The White Barn Inn Restaurant has been honored with numerous awards. The restaurant is the recipient of the prestigious AAA Five-Diamond Award for the 11th consecutive year, the only restaurant in Maine and one of only three restaurants in New England to earn this distinction. In addition, it was also named to the Fine Dining Hall of Fame by Nation's Restaurant News and remains one of only two Maine establishments named into Distinguished Restaurants of North America (DiRONA). Built in two restored barns dating from 1860's, the restaurant's rustic decor, candlelit white linen tables, and beautiful views from its floor to ceiling picture window create the perfect stage for a romantic retreat or special celebration. Recently named by readers of Gourmet Magazine to its Rooms At The Top List of acclaimed hotels, inns and resorts, The White Barn Inn continually strives to surpass guests' needs and offer world-class service. In keeping with this philosophy, numerous amenities await guests throughout our 25 rooms and beautifully landscaped grounds.

Small portable book lights compliment evening turndown service. Additional services available for our guests include morning through evening valet service, same day laundry service and room service at breakfast.

Located adjacent to the main house, with it's own private entrance, the Loft is a spacious and luxuriously appointed suite featuring a king size bed, fireplace and oversized marble bath with separate steam shower and whirlpool. A private deck overlooks the inn's grounds. Mays Cottage, the Inn's most spacious and exclusive accommodations, features a king-size bed, separate living room with a double-sided fireplace and marble bathroom which includes a two-person whirlpool bath and separate steam shower. For those seeking the conveniences of the technology age, the cottage is also equipped with a television, VCR and CD system.
