Seasonal Hours
Blue Hill's Historic Inn featuring "extraordinary hospitality." Individualized guest attention is the first priority. Innkeepers, Clair and Kim Maxwell and the staff of our romantic, Maine Coast inn will make suggestions, assist with itineraries, help with directions, and make dinner reservations at restaurants, many within walking distance of the inn. They’re familiar with the area and can direct guests to great boating, live music, beautiful picnic spots, shopping, and delicious lobster rolls. Located on two acres of land in the center of the village of Blue Hill and a block from the head of Blue Hill Bay, the inn, built in 1830, is part of the National Historic District of Blue Hill. Heritage elm trees, a perennial garden, and a small grove of fruit trees shade a variety of outdoor seating areas and a cozy hammock.
The staff at the inn are passionate about working with local farmers, fishermen, and purveyors. We enthusiastically support the developing concepts of eco-tourism, sustainable triple bottom line business practices, and green lodging practices. The inn has been awarded Maine’s Environmental Leader and Trip Advisor’s Green Leader designation in recognition of efforts made at the inn, including using environmentally friendly cleaning supplies and light bulbs, purchasing organic food and composting kitchen scraps, and recycling all waste possible.
A Federal period building, the Blue Hill Inn has eleven guest rooms, a sun-filled dining room, and two comfortable parlors. It retains many of its original features, including clapboards, nine over six windows, wide pumpkin pine floor boards, and six fireplaces. The inn is part of the Blue Hill Historic District designated by the National Register of Historic Places and has been welcoming guests continually for nearly 200 hundred years.
