Beach Cottage Inn

What guests think

At Beach Cottage Inn, reviewers consistently praise the waterfront setting with beautiful ocean views and walkable access to the beach and local restaurants, alongside clean, cozy rooms that create a relaxed, low-key coastal stay.

Many highlight friendly, accommodating owners and easy self check-in, plus thoughtful in-room extras such as fridges, microwaves, kitchenettes, and balconies or decks. A few note small rooms, some street noise in road-facing units, tight parking, and occasional accessibility quirks like rustic stairs; one guest mentioned towels weren’t changed during their stay. Expect a quiet, homey base with a classic inn feel rather than a modern hotel.

We had a great time! The Crow’s Nest room was gorgeous and so clean, the view of the bay from the room and balconies was amazing! Walking distance to restaurants, beach and a store. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely stay here again!

We had a lovely room with a nice outdoor terrace area - all very clean and comfortable. The Inn is in a fabulous location overlooking the beach and near to the ferry. It is also next door to the Whale Tooth pub which did great evening meals. The hostess recommended Dot's diner for breakfast, a 2-minute drive up the road and it was excellent. Lincolnville is a great location for visiting various places, including Acadia National Park and Fort Knox and the bridge observatory, highly recommend a visit to those.

Pretty ocean view! Room was very nice, clean, and cute with pine trim. Friendly staff, daily maid service, daily coffee and sweetener and sugar refills! Cute screened porch. Covered deck with ocean views. Two seafood restaurants and beach within walking distance. Close to quaint and pretty town of Camden- a must see. Highly recommend!

Loved my room. Unique and comfortable with lots of thoughtful touches. Self check-in easier the second time around. Right by the road but remarkably quiet. Location to beach and the few local stores couldn’t be better. Parking is limited and not the easiest to get out of but seems to work out of but was very convenient to my room.

The rooms are very nicely appointed, including toiletries. Very clean rooms and the area feels safe, the place is right on the rocky beach and difficult to find even with Map apps, look for the Whale Tooth restaurant, it is next to it. Dorothee is such a gracious hostess, good vibes in this place. Recommended.

Very nice little inn within easy walking distance of the best of Lincolnville - the beach, the pizza place and Dot's. The proprietor was at a meeting but gave me good directions when I called the number she left. My room was spacious and unique with lots of good touches. Better than average in room coffee and real mugs, a freezer on the fridge and a sort of living room area all were appreciated. I really loved it and will definitely return.

We choose this location for it's excellent reviews and affordability compared to Camden lodging only a few miles away. We would gladly stay, again. The owner and staff were very obliging. Our room, the Appledore, had a wonderful layout: bedroom with comfortable king bed, a kitchette room, & separate room for watching TV or computing. We highly recommend The Waterfront Restaurant in Camden for a lobster dinner. It was very affordable & offered a great view of the harbor, but go early for parking and a shorter wait. The Schooner Appledore is another favorite offering a 2-hour sailing trip for $60.

The Beach Cottage Inn was the perfect spot in Maine, away from all the crowds in a quaint little town with a beach and a couple of restaurants in walking distance. Just a short trip to Camden Harbor which is a beautiful little town with restaurants and a marina you can easily go out on boat ride. Bar Harbor was about 1 1/2 hr drive but it was a nice ride. The Beach Cottage Inn was clean and had all the comforts of home including a very comfortable bed. Dorothee was a great host with great tips of places to go. We enjoyed our stay very much and would highly recommend.

Quaint is the word that comes to mind. We were in Maine in the off-season, when much was closed for the winter, so the focus was on a restful vacation. The Beach Cottage Inn is located in a scenic spot -- our balcony looked out over Penobscot Bay, and it was warm enough a few days to sit out. Unfortunately, our host was out-of-town for a family emergency, but we didn't lack for anything since Rob, a neighbor, filled-in and made sure our stay was nice. If you are looking for a modern hotel, go elsewhere, but if you are looking for a place that feels homey and comfortable, I would recommend the Beach Cottage Inn.
