What Guests Are Saying

“We had a wonderful stay during our three nights at Spouter Inn. Mark and Traci were very welcoming and gracious hosts. Breakfast was delicious and we especially enjoyed the daily yogurt bar with toppings and the custom lattes. We loved our room - the Harbormaster’s Suite in the main house - and found it to be a welcome respite each evening after exploring the mid-coast area. We enjoyed our morning coffee in the comfortable living room, nicely decorated with nautical touches, and a view of the “beach”. We got lucky with the early-May weather and even sat out front on the rockers one morning with our coffee. Overall, a great experience at Spouter Inn. Traci and Mark could not have been more welcoming and down-to-earth.” — SteveDonna S., 5 stars

“The Spouter Inn is wonderful! My wife and I first visited there in August, 2024, and returned again this August. The new owners, Mark and Tracy Cini, are marvelous hosts who have decorated the inn beautifully and planted lovely gardens on the property. The rooms are spacious, the beds very comfortable, and the breakfasts are truly amazing. Mark does a great job maintaining the property, and Tracy is a fabulous cook who also bakes delicious pastries every day. There are lots of local restaurants and nearby towns to explore, and the ambience is totally relaxing. We could not have had a better time and hope to be able to return for years to come!” — Chaz B., 5 stars

“What a great B&B in mid-coast Maine. Tracy and Mark, the owners/hosts, were very welcoming and friendly. And the property was spectacular! It had great curb appeal as we drove up; Mark was working in the beautiful garden when we arrived, and walked over to greet us right away. Upon entry into the Inn, we found Tracy in the kitchen preparing fresh baked goods. After all the necessary paperwork, etc. Mark gave us a tour of the property and walked us to our room. The common areas were beautifully decorated and spotless, and our room (Navigator’s Quarters) was equally impressive. Breakfast (fresh scones and pancakes with Maine blueberries) was delish, as were the fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies we found in the common room upon our return of exploring local sites in the afternoon. I will definitely put this on my list of places to return if the opportunity arises!” — Ellen A., 5 stars
