Admiral Peary Inn

What guests think

Admiral Peary Inn is a charming, history-filled bed-and-breakfast where many guests praise welcoming hosts, cozy rooms, and tasty homemade breakfasts, though some experienced self-service stays without staff interaction and occasional inconsistencies around breakfast availability or timing.

Rooms show historic character and are generally comfortable and quiet, but access involves steep staircases for some, and a few guests noted chilly temperatures in colder months. Cleanliness is typically strong and the inn is well maintained, with welcoming common areas like a library and porches, though one review mentioned dust in harder-to-reach spots. The location is peaceful and a bit off the beaten path, yet convenient for Fryeburg, area hikes, and Stone Mountain shows. Expect a quaint, low-key stay with personal touches and occasional self-service.

We had an amazing stay at the Admiral Peary Inn in July! The inn is full of charm and history, with beautifully decorated rooms that made us feel right at home. The innkeepers were incredibly welcoming, offering great local recommendations and making sure we had everything we needed. The homemade breakfasts were delicious and a perfect start to our days. The peaceful location made it easy to relax. Perfect place to stay if you are seeing a show at Stone Mountain. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and can’t wait to return!

Nice quiet location with beautiful surroundings. Off the beaten path. Excellent full breakfast. The host was very friendly at breakfast with good conversations. Take note that all bedrooms are upstairs, as well as the house access being up a set of stairs..

The Inn Keeper was so kind and made it so easy to check in. The property was well maintained and quiet. I do need to mention that the stairs going up to my room were absolutely treacherous, having the steepeat incline Ive ever seen on a staircase. I have mobility issues, which made it quite scary.

Absolutely beautiful home. I felt like I was going back in time. I spent Thanksgiving night there and did not encounter another living soul during my visit. Walking through the house was an undescribable feeling, as if I both did and did not belong there (yes a was a guest --but in the wrong century!). Time travel. VERY cool. the most modern technology downstairs was a turntable. Loved the antiques and the bed that you needed a stool to climb up on. Also every detail, from the newspapers talking about Admiral Peary in the sitting room, to the photos of his family that graced my room which was, of course, the Admiral's quarters. I did not linger in any of the common areas because the rest of the house was quite chilly but I was only there between seven p. m. and eight a. m. The library and the sitting areas look wonderful , especially the outdoor decks. I live in maine , but I am already thinking up reasons to go back.

This is an amazing spot. My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We absolutely loved all the decorations for Halloween. Lots of time and effort put into the decor and up keep of this beautiful Inn. Breakfast was truly superb. Enjoyed visiting with other guests at the Breakfast Table. We have already booked another stay in November. Keith and Gretchen, the owners, were very accommodating and delightful to visit with.

Owner does not live onsite. Not 5 star clean but livable. Need to vacuum UNDER the bed and top of the four-poster bed had thick cobwebs wrapped around it. No flexibility for breakfast times or an offer of anything to grab and go. Room could have used a box of tissues and a full-length mirror. Two rooms have a fairly steep set of stairs to access them.

Stated we were leaving before breakfast and would have thought a muffin or something to grab and go would be offered- nothing. Sheets were soft, bed comfortable other than that very dissatisfied, cheep all in one shampoo that I cannot use for my long hair- at least I had my own. Wouldn’t recommend for the price we got a bed, nothing else.

This is only the second bed and breakfast I’ve ever stayed in and it was not what I expected from a bed and breakfast. There was no breakfast unless you count coffee and a banana. The house was cute but our stay began with a miscommunication between Expedia and host with host not being aware we had booked a king size bed. We were sent to a Queen via a letter when we walked in the back of the house. No host to greet us and an open door. I was able to call the host and the handyman showed us to another room so that was a quick recovery other than moving luggage up and down narrow stairs. The beds are not standard comfort wise as the queen seemed normal but the king and a very thick memory foam topping that was too soft. Really, in hindsight this was an Air bnb that you share with several strangers. The cost was very reasonable and served as a great jumping off point for nearby hikes.
