Set on a granite ledge rising from the sea and surrounded by flower gardens, the Craignair was built in 1928 to house workers from the nearby quarries. It was converted to an Inn in 1947 and little has changed here since the turn of the century. You can still feel the mood of a once lively and active working town. The union hall still stands as well as the old general store and post office. The chapel, where the stone-cutters and their families once worshiped, is now an annex to the Inn. Evidence of the quarry-workers’ time is also portrayed in the beautiful granite causeway that stretches across the water to Clark Island, where a great quarry was once the center of this picturesque village. Clark Island granite was used in the construction of the central park bridges and gate houses, and in the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, both in New York City, and the Library of Congress in Washington, just to name a few.

Your Innkeepers, Joanne and Michael O’Shea bought the Inn in 2010, moving from Colorado via South Korea (Yes, THAT South Korea, not Corea, ME!)  We’ll tell you the rest of the story during your stay. It’s an honor carrying on the Craignair tradition of spectacular food, unmatched views and comfortable rooms. See you soon!

The East Wind, extraordinary among Midcoast Maine Inns, inhabits a scenic haven at water’s edge free from busy tourist trafffic, providing Downeast lodging and accommodations that will inspire serenity during your stay.  Our main inn and Meeting House annex offer excellent views of the harbor and outlying village.  Succumb to the culinary experience of our Executive Chef at our Wan-e-set Restaurant or join our friendly staff in the Quarry Tavern for a nightcap.

The Seaside Inn is a twelve-guestroom inn in an 1850 sea captain’s home overlooking Port Clyde Harbor and Muscongus Bay. At the Seaside Inn, the welcome is warm and the pace is slow, though we do have high speed, wireless internet access for those guests that must check their email. The Ocean House Dining Room, at our sister property, serves breakfast to the public from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM or if you are looking for a quick grab and go breakfast before catching the 7 AM ferry the Port Kitchen is the place to go. The Barn Cafe is located next door, with a full bar and local fare. Come visit us, relax and enjoy the views!
