An absolutely delightful stay — the quintessential Maine experience. Nestled right on the water, it’s perfect for morning strolls with a coffee in hand, soaking in the serene coastal views. And when it’s time to dine, you’re just steps away from fantastic restaurants and bars that showcase the best of local flavor.

Incredibly peaceful waterfront spot with heavenly views, walking trails, kayaks to rent and a restaurant to die for yum! Room was very clean and comfortable with many thoughtful amenities. Great launching spot for day trips around the area. Highly recommend we will be back!

We had a wonderful visit. The food and room were great and the owners and staff were friendly and responsive. Had a great massage. Also the setting is absolutely glorious right on the Maine coast. The fact that the Clark Island preserve with its beautiful hiking trails was a big plus. Also the Inn is very close to Rockland and half an hour to Camden.

We had the most wonderful stay here at the Craignair Inn. From the moment we arrived we were met with incredible hospitality. We had our dog with us and the Inn went above and beyond to make her stay wonderful as well. There were so many touches that made us all feel included, like the vegan food options, the little library of books, and the art on display! Truly a beautiful property and we can’t wait to return!

Located far down the peninsula from Rockland at Spruce Head, Craignair Inn boasts panoramic views and oceanfront dining. Our room, one of 16, was on the third floor and nicely remodeled. There is no elevator and the stairs are steep; but assistance with our luggage was offered. The inn also contains the Causeway restaurant serving casually elegant dinners. Our meals were memorable. We would definitely come back on future trips.

I loved the Craignair Inn, and walking the trails on Clark Island. It was quiet once the group of very loud women left. The food was spectacular, as was my room, with water views out of all three windows. The owners, and all the staff were extremely friendly, and helpful. I would definitely go back!

Amazing Stay !

Greg and Lauren are amazing, you can tell they really care about their inn & restaurant. Lauren's customer service from start to finish was great, Greg's knowledge on his food and drinks menu was great. The location was amazing, we had a view of the bay and could hear the crashing waves at night, which was so therapeutic. Only downside was because it was an abnormally hot day during our stay, things got a little hot in the rooms since there is not a/c, but otherwise things were great. Food at the restaurant is delicious, please make a reservation if you're staying here, you will not regret it. Would definitely recommend and stay here again if we're ever in the area.
