“Favorite B&B in Maine”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2010

The Carriage House Inn in Searsport Maine is the most beautiful B&B I have ever stayed in. The history of the home is gladly shared by the owner while enjoying her excellent breakfasts. Searsport is located close to Camden and Bar Harbor which makes it perfect for day trips. I have been to Inn several times and have taken many friends as I love this area so much. Seems like I can't ever get enough lobster, lupines or lighthouses... I would highly reccommend the Carriage House Inn.

“LOVELY BED & BREAKFAST”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2010

My husband and I spent 5 days at the Carriage House in Searsport. We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful historic house which, at one time, was own by Waldo Pierce a very well known painter. It was also visited by guests such as Ernest Hemingway and the memorabilias in the house are quite interesting in that regards. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfasts were delightful and served by our wonderful host Marcia Markwardt who will help you enjoy every moment of your visit. The Inn is very well located which gave us the opportunity to visit all the beautiful sea ports in that area including Rockland, Camden, Belfast, Bar Harbour, the Anacostia National Park and many beautiful lakes all within 1 or 2 hrs drive.

“Absolutely amazing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 February 2010

I have been fortunate enough to stay at the Carriage House Inn a number of times and I am never dissapointed. Marcia is a wonderful hostess with an amazing knowledge of the area. She was able to reccomend things to do and places to eat. The view from the Inn is beyond compare, looking out at the ocean in the morning was beautiful, and then enjoying a great homecooked breakfast just put it over the top. There is a wonderful history to the Carriage House Inn and the town of Searsport and Marcia is happy to share all she knows. I will continue to stay there whenever I visit the great state of Maine.

“A Jewel on the Maine Seacoast - Stay Here and Enjoy”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2007

This was without a doubt one of the nicest B&B's we've ever stayed at. Marcia was wonderful, helped us with meal reservations, excursion advice, you name it.
The meals were superb, Marcia stuffs her guests and the food was great.
We had the run of the house, nice comfy room with books in the main hallway for relaxed reading and a TV room for the news, nice dining room. This really felt like home, it was great!!
Our room was huge, we had great water views. The entire place sparkled, and Marcia's attention to detail was second to none.
The yard is huge, very nice lawn to sit on and a nice porch to share a glass of wine.
We saw a lot of B&B's on the Maine Seacoast, not one did we like as much as we did the Carriage House. We're already planning our next trip there, and will stay longer.
The location is perfect, right in the mid-Coast area so it was a great starting point each day.
This is how all B&B's should be run and operated.

  • Liked — The Rooms, The Food, the Hostess, The Vintage IDetailed House
  • Disliked — We wanted to stay longer and couldn't

“Superb”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 July 2007

As frequent travellers, my husband and I often stay in Bed and Breakfasts. Our stay at The Carriage House was fabulous. Marcia Markwardt, the owner of the B&B, was the most gracious host. The room was lovely and impeccably clean. The breakfast was delicious. The inn is gorgeous witha great view. I would highly recommend staying here.
