My husband and I stayed overnight in the main building of the Craignair Inn. We had contracted for a room with a shared bath, but Joanne placed us in an en suite room at no additional charge, since she was painting the other room. Both the room and the bathroom were small but very clean; the bathroom would have benefited from some shelves, and there were no complimentary shampoos, etc., so the accommodations seemed a bit bare-bones. However, there was a tv in the room, and the bed was comfortable. Downstairs was a spacious and inviting sitting room and a large dining room, where breakfast was served (the restaurant was open for dinners only on weekends by the time we visited). The hot breakfast was quite nice, with homemade sausage and delicious blueberry crepes -- nothing spartan about that! And the family's adorable dog kept everyone company without being a pest, which is no small feat. The folks who own this place are very nice and seem determined to make guests feel welcome there. Since they have owned the property for only a couple of years, they are busy updating it. The location is quite nice, overlooking the water and the nearby island where hiking is encouraged. In short, if you don't mind rather simple and homey accommodations, there is much to recommend this B&B.

We were lucky enough to stop at the Craignair Inn during a brief trip to Maine this past September. Our welcome was warm and friendly, and our room was spotless, comfortable and very homey. As we were new to that area of Maine, Joanne was able to set up our tickets for the Monhegan Island ferry and was extremely helpful in giving up directions to all the places we wanted to see. Dinner was delicious (I had the grilled vegetables and my mom had the crab) and the atmosphere very laid back and friendly. We relaxed with books in the parlor and enjoyed waking up to the beautiful views from our second floor window. Breakfast was another treat, especially with Mimi the Dog making us feel right at home. I cannot wait for a chance to return and cannot recommend a stay at the Craignair more highly for those looking for a quiet, relaxed rest away from the proverbial hustle and bustle.

My friends and I stayed here for one night. The property rooms are in two buildings, on the site of an old stone quarry and these accommodations were originally for the quarry workers. Rooms are decorated in country style. We stayed in the building away from the main building. We did enjoy the meals (breakfast included was a very good omelet; dinner the night before was pecan crusted salmon), they were excellent and reasonably priced for area. We entertained ourselves with a game in the living room before dinner and this room is overcrowded with furniture. The rooms we stayed in could use some upgrading, the bathroom was very small and needed better lighting over the sink. We were surprised at the hot pink nylon type sheets on the beds. TV is very small, an old 20" or so. We stayed at this property on our way to Bar Harbor so it was fine for one night. Joanne and MIchael are very nice hosts.

July 17 2010, we were married at the Inn. It was the owners first wedding, and you would have thought they had been at it for years. Everything went perfect. So if you are looking for a place to hold your ceremony and reception, try heree.
