We had a wonderful time vacationing at The Craignair Inn. The inn is beautifully located, very relaxing and convenient to town, seaports and restaurants. The Causeway restaurant was fabulous. The inn is dog friendly too. We would likely recommend staying at The Craignair Inn.

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.

The location us very pretty, but also very isolated. Our room was very small. There are outdoor activities, but inside the "public" rooms are used by the restaurant most of the time. Staff was pleasant.

We loved so many things about this spot! The included breakfast was excellent and the views from the property are stunning. Make sure to walk across the causeway to Clark Island for an easy hike. The onsite restaurant was also very good and especially convenient though Rockland is only ~20 minutes away. Free EV charging was a bonus! Only callout I would make is that we were woken up both nights ~2am due to loud guests in the hall - a surprise given the area is generally very quiet!

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.

The inn is a unique place, in a pleasant way. The owners are wonderful at making you feel at home in their establishment. It's homey with its small, clean rooms. Our room had a private bathroom and a beautiful view. The breakfast was delicious, everything is made from scratch, the ingredients are obviously fresh and locally sourced (I had forgotten what real eggs taste like). The dinner at the restaurant below was also memorable. We highly recommend this place.

Delightful, historical inn right next to Clark Island Preserve. Lovely wee walks on the shore and to the old quarry. Minimal light pollution at night allows for terrific stargazing. Rooms are on the small side, but thoughtfully designed. Included breakfast was delicious, with fresh made biscuits and a nice selection of offerings. Only slight negative is the slow WiFi, but maybe it's okay to take a break from streaming and read a book!

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!
