Meet The New Innkeepers, We Look Forward To Welcoming You!

With just ten fabulous rooms and suites, newly renovated and awaiting your arrival, you’ll feel as if you have been invited to a weekend at a grand oceanfront estate. Each well appointed chamber is a capsule of luxury offering incredible Penobscot Bay lodging and featuring a cache of individual amenities, from private balconies and inviting fireplaces to sweeping views of Penobscot Bay where Captain Nickels once navigated the waters. Slip between the sheets of a king or queen-size bed for a restful slumber or sink into a plush sofa with a classic novel and a glass of wine.

A Note About Our Historic Inn: Captain Nickels Inn was built in 1874 and does not have an elevator. Most guest rooms are located on the second or third floor and are reached by traditional New England staircases, which may feel steep to some guests. Our Albert Nickels Room is our only first-floor guest room; however, there are still a few small exterior steps required to enter the inn. Please call us before booking if stairs may be a concern so we can help you choose the most comfortable accommodation.
