Academy Street Inn, South Berwick, Maine

Welcome to the Academy Street Inn, a 1903 Grand Colonial-style Victorian home in the quaint New England town of South Berwick, Maine. Since 1990, guests have been enjoying the elegance of the bed and breakfast inn with its oak wainscoting, carved fireplaces, Austrian crystal chandeliers, leaded glass windows, and beautifully appointed rooms. The Victorian charm is enhanced with antiques, oriental rugs and welcoming hospitality. Guests can unwind in spacious air-conditioned rooms. All of the five lodging accommodations have private baths, and adjoining rooms may be rented for a family or a group. You may relax on the 60-foot screened porch overlooking the downtown square or cozy up to a crackling fire in the parlor. The Inn will accommodate small gatherings and receptions for up to 50 people; ample parking is available. A hearty breakfast is served by the fire in the elegant dining room. In the late afternoon, enjoy a refreshing glass of lemonade or a cup of tea. There is a full range of sporting activities in the area for you to enjoy or maybe even try for the first time, including a great golf course nearby. Canoeing and fishing are rewarding in this area as are sun bathing, walking, or swimming at one of the lovely beaches. You may take a bike ride and observe the East Coast seasons. For those who want to really relax, you can try a bit of "porch sitting." Paul and Lee invite you to experience the rich history and serenity of South Berwick and stay at the Academy Street Inn on the lovely Maine coast.
