Cozy Winter Inns with Exceptional Restaurants

Picture this: you’re tucked up by a warm fire as the snow falls outside. You’re feeling delightfully sated after one of the best meals of your life and know that a comfortable bed awaits you when the day is over. This very moment can be yours to enjoy at one of Maine’s inns that offer on-site dining this winter!

One cozy seaside property offering wintery enticements is the Inn by the Sea in Cape Elizabeth. This charming eco-resort’s restaurant, Sea Glass, offers all-day dining options and a prix fixe dinner menu, complete with ocean views. You can reserve a Fire Table outside, with heated seats and cozy blankets, too. Or head to Kennebunk for a stay at The White Barn Inn for luxurious guest rooms in the historic property. And the restaurant has earned some of the highest accolades including both AAA Five Diamond and Forbes Five Star endorsements. You won’t soon forget a meal at The White Barn Inn.

In the MidCoast, the Camden Harbour Inn and the Hartstone Inn welcome winter travelers. The Camden Harbour Inn’s restaurant, Natalie’s, was awarded top 100 Best Hotel Restaurants in the USA by USA Today and is one of two Relais & Châteaux properties in the state. The Hartstone Inn’s new restaurant - Electric Daisy - offers world-class cuisine that infuses New England fare with an international flair. You can also enjoy the Chef’s Tasting Menu at both properties, perfect for a special occasion.

For Maine’s other designated Relais & Châteaux property, head to Greenville in The Maine Highlands. At the Blair Hill Inn, you can enjoy not only expansive views of Moosehead Lake and contemporary luxury in the ten guestrooms but also the renowned Slate Restaurant. The winter a la carte menu celebrates farm-to-table excellence.

The Federal is located in the heart of Brunswick. The boutique inn’s on-site restaurant, 555 North, led by award-winning Chef Steve Corry and his wife Michelle, features locally sourced food in a carefully curated menu, and the chic guestrooms are perfect for resting after a day exploring the town.

Any of these choices are a sure way to warm up your winter with just the right touch of cozy elegance.
