Lindenwood Inn – Southwest Harbor, Maine
The Lindenwood Inn is a 1904 sea captain’s home and is named after the large linden trees that surround it. The inn has been entertaining guests for over 25 years and offers a unique spin on the ordinary or cookie cutter bed and breakfast.
The decor is eclectic, with bold, warm colors and collectibles from Down Under, where the owner was born. The Aussies love to entertain and have a great time and this inn gives off just that vibe. “Relax, mate…no worries, love”.
There is an outdoor heated pool and hot tub, a full bar and a beautiful slate deck for lounging while on vacation. Fluffy towels are set out on the side of the hot tub beside the yellow duckie taking a dip. There are lounge chairs and bistro tables around the pool deck. The large front porch offers tables and seating for breakfast or any time.
Since they choose to run the inn a bit less regimented, they offer a beautiful buffet breakfast with an array of fresh fruits and pastries, followed by a hot entree if the guest so chooses. Enjoying an espresso, croissant and some fresh fruit by the pool somehow offers a more exotic feel.
The guests enjoy a beautiful harbor view from the inn, particularly from the Penthouse Suite, complete with its own private deck and hot tub. As the Lindenwood sign reads “a quiet place by the harbor“…
