Chebeague Island Inn

Fully restored late 1800s inn on Chebeague Island with wrap-around porch and farm-to-table dining

Dining

Chebeague Island Inn's on-site restaurant serves American, seafood, and local cuisine with a focus on farm-to-table ingredients sourced from nearby producers. Guests can request vegetarian, dairy-free, and vegan options, and the chef prepares dishes such as monkfish schnitzel topped with lobster and Maine Blueberry Pie. The bar offers a selection of craft cocktails and local oysters, and the dining room fills up quickly-advance dinner reservations are recommended.

Activities and Outdoor

Complimentary bicycle rentals let guests explore Chebeague Island at their own pace, with hills that benefit from geared bikes. The inn provides access to the adjacent 9-hole Great Chebeague Golf Course, and lawn games include tennis, bocce, and cornhole. For water-based outings, private boat charters are available for scenic ocean explorations, and fishing and beach access are within walking distance.

Rooms and Amenities

Guest rooms at the Chebeague Island Inn are intentionally free of televisions, encouraging guests to disconnect and engage with the island setting. Some rooms have private bathrooms, while others share well-maintained hallway baths-guests should confirm their booking type. The large wrap-around porch offers ocean and harbor views, and the shared lounge and garden provide additional spaces for relaxation.

Location and Access

The inn sits on a bluff overlooking the harbor and is a short 15-minute ferry ride from Cumberland, Maine. A free shuttle meets guests at the dock and transports them up the hill to the inn, with additional complimentary shuttles available to nearby Hamilton Beach and other points on the island. Great Chebeague Golf Course is right next door, and the Historical Society is minutes away by foot or bike.

Special Features

Chebeague Island Inn is pet-friendly, welcoming dogs with prior arrangements, and is fully committed to sustainability by sourcing local ingredients and reducing waste. The property has no air conditioning or in-room heat, relying on coastal breezes and ceiling fans-guests should plan accordingly for seasonal stays. The inn closes mid-October, and off-season visits require checking availability in advance.
