The Hichborn Inn

The Hichborn Inn is ideally located on the West shore of Penobscot Bay, between Camden and Acadia National Park. Bangor International Airport is approximately a 30 minute drive to the North. The Inn is on a quiet side street in a small town, yet is very convenient to US Route 1. Several State Parks are nearby, including Fort Point Lighthouse and State Park, which is located here in Stockton Springs.

The Inn is a stately Italianate-style Victorian home, built c 1850, and remains essentially unchanged. The house was built by prominent shipbuilder N.G. Hichborn and his wife Caroline. Public rooms include: a music room with grand piano, a gentleman's parlor with fireplace, an elegantly restored dining room and a spacious sunporch/breakfast room.

Four guest rooms feature period Victorian furnishings. Two rooms feature double-size beds, private baths and distant harbor views. The remaining two rooms feature either a double bed or two twin beds, and share bathroom facilities.

Facilities are available for small meetings, weddings, etc. Computer hook-up is available.

Coffee and tea are always available; delivered to room if requested.

Sorry, guest's pets are not permitted. Smoking is prohibited by Maine State law. Guest rooms are all located on the second floor.
