Blair Hill Inn receives coveted travel stars

Both independent travel guides, Fodors and Frommers have given Blair Hill Inn their highest star rating of any inland Maine lodging & dining establishment for nearly 10 consecutive years!


Featured on two national television shows

including primetime and HGTV


Perhaps we should admit that marketing is not our forte!
However, the press continues to favor our inn for which we are so very grateful.  We believe that our best marketing strategy is to always strive to create the most beautiful inn possible with a welcoming atmosphere that transcends the expected.  That is why when Victoria Magazine landed at our doorstep and stayed for the night to possibly include us on in an overview of places to stay in Maine, they ended up featuring Blair Hill in a multi-page, full color spread instead! 
  

There are places that are the 'Best Marketed' and there are places that are the 'Best'
We may not have the best marketing efforts but we know you will find us to be 'the best'.  The many reviews by independent sources such as Travel + Leisure, National Geographic, Yankee, Ladies Home Journal, Victoria Magazine, Outside Magazine, Frommers, Fodors and others agree.  
For those of you who rely on AAA, we are not rated.  Not all inns choose to request a rating by AAA and we have been one of those places.  This does not mean that we do not qualify if we were to apply but that we simply have not ventured down that particular marketing path for various reasons.    However, our guest reviews serve to be our best testament.  Check out what those who have stayed and dined at Blair Hill Inn have rated it as #1 on tripadvisor.com.  Thank you for your consideration of a stay with us. 

 

 

 

 

Dear Ruth and Dan,
We have lived in Maine for years and this was by far the most beautiful spot we have found. If we only had a nickel for every 'ooh' and 'aah' we expressed as we explored your beautiful estate... Thank you for all the little touches that separate your inn from the rest. We will be back, you can count on it!
