I heard out about the Inn from an ad my mother saw in a magazine. What I found convenient about the Inn was that I could make all of my decisions with one person. It felt personable as I made choices and plans for the big day. On the day of the wedding however, things were not exactly as they... more

The inn has been renovated nicely and is well decorated, but in my opinion over-done. I feel it needs to be toned down a, to give it a more authentic feel, because as it stands it is, in my opinion, quite gaudy. While there is something to be said for elegance and good taste, they clearly have gone over-the-top in... more

We stayed at the Capt. Nickels Inn while visiting family in the area, and were simply charmed. A nice variety of rooms, all with interesting furnishings, tastefully assembled. We stayed in the "bridal suite". which has its own balcony with a view of the water and large fountain of the master bedroom, a sitting room, with kitchenette, and adjoining bedroom... more

The inn is amazing with great ambiance and food. I absolutely loved staying here with my girlfriend who decided at the last minute to take a road trip through the coast of Maine. We had a good time the service was friendly and timely. Thanks!! more

When driving on Route 1 this summer I came upon this beautiful Inn on the Ocean advertising a Champagne Brunch and I was amazed at what I found. This old sea captains home was recently renovated in contemporary "old world" style and was as stimulating as it was elegant. After visiting the different parlors I was escorted into the formal... more

I will start by saying I had a attended a wedding at the Captain A. V. Nickels Inn in 1997 and the breath-taking view and Victorian charm stayed with me all of these years. When it came time for me to marry, this spot was my first choice, so I was delightfully surprised to see the renovations that had been... more

The Capt. A.T. Nickels Bed and Breakfast is a remarkable home on a remarkable property. It is one of the few in Searsport that extend from Highway 1 in the front all the way to the ocean bay in the back! The rear of the home, where the new owners are completing an glassed-in extension of the dining room, above... more

Our first experience at the Captain A. V. Nickels Inn was an evening filled with excellent food starting with hors d’oeurvres and wine, followed by dinner wonderfully presented and tasting just as good as it looked right down to the dessert. After dinner, we danced to a great swing band called “Three Button Delux” Because this was a “Mother’s Day”... more
