Atlantic Birches Inn

Ray and Heidi are some of the nicest people! I'm glad to have met them. My boyfriend and I stayed in the room called "The Velvet". It was lovely room. I would've given it a 5 star, but there were a few things that needed repair. Very minor details. The home was very lovely and the breakfast was just what I needed, though my boyfriend likes more meat options. It was very well kept and, aside for minor things, very well taken care of. I grew up in an old home, so I understand how it's very hard to keep on top of all repairs at all times. They do a very good job of it. It seemed a smidge expensive, but still affordable, and what I would expect to pay for a lovely home like this. I'm glad we stayed here and will certainly want to come back in the future.

My husband and I spent two nights there. The room was awesome, so romantic and clean! In the morning, we had breakfast with the other couples staying there, and everyone was so pleasant. Breakfast was delicious, the fresh fruit was fantastic. Gourmet? No, but just the light meal you want before you dive into your day! We loved everything about our stay, and I'm booking another one as soon as I post this! :)

Spend a few nights at the Atlantic Birches Inn visiting my brother and family. Great recommodations for dining and seeing the sites. My family loved the way the house was decorated and lighted for Christmas, really felt like being at home . Ray and Heidi are great innkeepers and very attentive to our needs. I would highly reccommend staying there.

Had a lovely stay. Innkeepers were very helpful with suggestion and directions. We would definately return.

My wife and I stayed at Atlantic Birches Inn for our first wedding anniversary (late October) and we had a great time there. We stayed in the Vespers Suite for 4 nights and had a very enjoyable time. The surroundings were very quaint and the solitude of the place was very relaxing. The location is excellent, too -- this cannot be emphasized enough -- and is a great distance, north and south, from all sorts of Maine attractions, and even some very nice drives down Route 1. The muffins in the morning were very tasty and the amenities in the suite were perfect for a nice little stay. The only downside was a slight lack of warm water at times, but it didn't last long and certainly wouldn't stop me from staying again at Atlantic Birches. I would like to say, too, that the value of the inn is impressive, considering other options -- so it's a great place to go if you want a bang for your buck. Ray and Heidi were extremely pleasant.

The room was cleaned daily and very comfortable. the location was close to all the activity. Breakfast was homemade muffins and coffee or OJ.

This was our first time staying at a bed & breakfast, and definitely will not be our last at the Atlantic Birches Inn. The rooms and breakfast were fantastic, and Ray & Heidi were more than accommadating, able to recommend great locations for us to visit and places to eat. We absolutely will be returning to the Atlantic Birches Inn! Nick & Tamarah- East Hartford, CT.

Fantastic location -- minute walk to everything. Very well kept & quiet. Great suggestions for things to do & places to eat. Thank you!

The best way to express our visit overall is to say that we were truly cared for. Significant attention to all the details of our stay was the order of the day. Ray and Heidi are truly wonderful hosts.

This is a very nice home and the hosts are also very nice. However, for the price of the stay the breakfast was very poor. It was a snack at best and therefore should not be promoted as a B&B.

Ray & Heidi certainly do themselves proud - a really lovely home and accommodation ! We would certainly return if the opportunity arises. The muffins in the morning are to die for - but you have to get up early as some guests are greedier as others as we found out to our disgust! You can't blame them though as they really are delicious! The rooms were very clean and comfortable and very aptly named.

Positive: Impressed by the cleanliness and attention to detail. Negative: Originally tried booking the room for 2 nights on Columbus Day weekend and our reservation was rejected to to the strict policy of a 3 night minimum on holiday weekends. While I understand they want to fill the inn for all three nights of the holiday weekend and maximize their profits, this policy is not very customer friendly and did not sit well. Other than that, everything was great!

We recently stayed at this beautiful B & B. It was a great experience. The rooms were delightful and the breakfast hit the spot! The owners were very helpful and friendly. Gave us directions and suggestions of places to go and see. Would go back again.

The Innkeepers were very friendly. They gave us insight into local places to dine and things to see. The Inn was very clean and cozy. We were given fresh muffins, coffee and orange juice every morning. The Inn is close to major highways/streets so it has easy access to other towns and cities. It is also within walking distance to the Pier and ocean.

Our room was very small with no t.v. However, we weren't there much, so not really a problem. After staying in other B & B's it was not the plush, 4 star experience we're accustomed to. One of the reviews we read before booking stated they had fresh fruit with the muffins - this was not our experience, but I'll have to say the muffins were tasty. Overall a pretty decent experience.

Great place, good location. Both Ray and Heidi were both extremely nice and helpful.

Ray and Heidi were such lovely people. We had a wonderful stay at the Atlantic Birches Inn. Ray was very helpful with giving us directions and pointing us to a terrific restaurant after a long day of driving!! We stayed in the Cleaves room and it was very cozy and super clean!! Also, the muffins were delicious! We will return!!

This was an exceptional B&B. The room was very clean and cosy. The owners shared their plans with us, which showed us that they are continually working to improve the facility. They have been in business for 10 years, which is exceptional for a B&B. The bathroom was not part of the room, but was private and was only a short walk from the room. We enjoyed our stay and would consider this inn again for a stay in OOB.

I really enjoyed my stay. The muffins and coffee in the morning were great. The room was very nice and clean and the location was within walking distance to the beach.

My girlfriend and I recently spent three nights at the Atlantic Birches Inn, staying in one of the suites. We had a wonderful time in Old Orchard Beach, and loved Atlantic Birches. It's location is excellent, and the rooms were very comfortable and homey.

Rooms on second floor of cottage feel closed in because only (small) window has an air conditioner and you can't see out. Home made muffins for breakfast were good but make a skimpy breakfast.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We are sorry you felt this way about the room. The Cottage guest house cannot be centraly air conditioned, that is why we install window air conditioners for the Summer months (Mid June - Mid Sept). We do still get hot hummid days in mid September. We cannot please everyone but we do try our best to accommodate all guests. I am sure if you were here on one of those hot hummid September days like today and the Air Conditioner was not installed you would have written about the lack of air conditioning and warm temerature in the room. As you can see we cannot please every guest every time, we are truly sorry for any inconvience this may have caused you on your stay.

- Ray Deleo (innkeeper)

Very welcoming and hospitable. Gave excellent reccommendations for restaurants and other points of interest in the area. Very nice couple!

Ray and Heidi were more than kind, they were informative, helpful, and genuinely interested in our comfort and activities. The room was beautiful, clean, and offered plenty of space. The entire trip was well worth it with the trip to Pemaquid Point being the highlight. This is definitely a place that I want to visit again!

Our stay at Atlantic Birches was great. The room was clean and the place was very quiet. Also within walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and shopping. Innkeepers (well, I guess we only interacted with Ray) were very nice and helpful giving us maps and offering up suggestions on things to do and places to eat. Only major disappointment was breakfast, but then again we were just coming off a stay at another B&B where the woman made 3 course hot breakfasts every morning. I don't know which is more typical, but here they would just put out muffins, fruit, cereal, juice, etc. The stay was very nice and I would recommend to others.

This was a wonderful place to stay and the owners Ray and Heidi were fantastic. Let us know what to see and where to eat. Room was great except for a very small shower.

We staid only 3 nights.The room (Alberta) was so original, coloured and confortable. The breakfast was wery good with a special regard for the muffins. We didn't use the pool because the edrsand beach (wonderful and very long) was close to the Inn. Privat parking available and safe. We met only Ray, person very kind and always ready to satisfy all our request.

This old house was unique, cozy, & comfortable with intriguing & unusual antiques. Friendly & knowledgeable innkeeper. A great selection for stepping back in time. We greatly enjoyed it!

The inn keepers were very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. The rooms were very nice and as described on the website. The muffins for breakfast every morning were out of this world. I would definately stay there again and recommend it to my friends.

Ray was a great help in picking restaurants and attractions for our family of five! We had a great time and the inn is central to all you want to see in the area

This cute B&B was what we expected as a nice home base for our mini 3 night vacation in Maine. We would recommend it to others and stay there again if in the area. The muffins were delicious and Ray was very helpful with suggestions on places to eat.

We really enjoyed our stay, Ray and Heidi gave us great recommendations for dining out and All of the places were perfect,

I stayed in a cottage room, so things may be different for rooms in the main house. The room was lovely, spotless, and comfortable and the innkeepers were lovely and helpful. The only unpleasant aspect about the stay was the breakfast. It consisted only of muffins that, while home baked, had clearly been stored for they were tacky and some of them were undercooked. This is a great place to stay for access to the beach and shopping, but don't plan on the price including a hot breakfast if you're in the cottage.

Enjoyed our stay. Inn keepers very knowledgeable about the area. Rooms clean and comfortable.

This little Inn in Old Orchard Beach is very, very cute. The innkeepers are super friendly even in this busy time of year for them. They take time out to make certain you know where places are. We stayed the last week in July for 2 nights. The rooms are darling, the beds are smaller than stated size, but very, very comfortable. Everything is clean, neat, well-taken care of. Some of the cottage rooms are not for people over 5ft7in because of the slanted ceilings, but that was not a problem for us. The breakfast was delightful, simple-exactly the way we like it. The beach is straight out the door, across the street, down the sidewalk. It's exactly what we needed for our 2 nights. We would have stayed 3, but the place was already booked. Ray and Heidi are very kind,sweet people even with all the busy-ness around them. They enjoy their work. Thank you very much.

My husband and I had a great time at Atlantic Birches Inn. Our room was clean and the owners were very helpful with suggestions as to where to go and where to eat. We would definitely recommend this Inn to others.

This was the first time staying at a B&B for my husband and I, and it was an excellent first experience. Ray the innkeeper greeted us and gave us tips on some nearby restaurants to try, then showed us to our beautiful room! We stayed in The Alberta room and it was immaculately clean! I tend to be a little fussy about the cleanliness of any hotels I stay at...this place exceeded my expectations! The bed was one of the most comfortable of any place I've stayed and the sheets were silky soft! The bed linens and towels also had a wonderful scent, don't know what kind of detergent or fabric softener they use, but it smelled great! The attention to detail in the room was very noticeable, it was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean! They obviously take a great deal of pride in their B&B. The breakfast was exactly as it is stated on their website, fresh fruit, fresh baked muffins, bread, coffee, tea and juice, served in a very cute dining room. We felt so comfortable and relaxed staying here. Also, it's within short walking distance of the beach and Pier and all the activity, but yet far enough away that's it's very quiet and peaceful at night! I would stay here again in a second, and would recommend it to anyone! The only regret about our stay was that it wasn't for a longer time!

Had a wonderful stay at the Atlantic Birches. The owners were so very helpful with everything and provided so much advice on where to go, to eat, and directions to many areas we wanted to visit. They also made reservations for us. Would not hesitate to stay there again.

My wife and I had stayed for five nights at the Atlantic Birches Inn in late July 2011. From the moment we first arrived we felt we were at home. Heidi and Ray greeted us and took care of anything we through at them. Our stay was an absolute treat. The room was spacious, well decorated and immaculate. We could not believe how close it was from Old Orchard Beach. It was nice we could walk to everything within 2 or 3 minutes. The breakfast they prepared every morning was wonderful. We would love to stay at the Atlantic Birches Inn again.

With its charm and location, this B&B met all of our expectations! The hosts were very helpful, kind and generous. My sister and I appreciated this week-end with our grown-up daughters who will want to come back with their friends.

We spent our 41st annivaersary night in the Bridal (Old Orchard Room) Room. The room was tastefully decorated. The innkeepers (Heidi and Ray) were so helpful. Breakfast was delicious!!

We have been staying in a hotel in OOB the last week in July for over 20 years with my husband's family. We did not think we would be able to attend so we didn't make a reservation. Of course our plans changed but there were no more hotel reservations available. In a last minute effort, we booked a room at the Atlantic Birches Inn. We did not know what to expect since we have never stayed at a B+B but wanted to be up at OOB. WOW! were we ever surprised and delighted! It was a wonderful stay. The Inn is beautiful and our room was right out of the victorian era. We had our own private bathroom and plenty of closet space. The room was immaculate and the beds were so comfy. Heidi and Ray are so down to earth and helpful. My husband and I like to bike ride and they gave us excellent suggestions and directions to wonderful riding paths. We will certainly be back again! Thanks Ray and Heidi!

Great place to stay. Very clean and comfortable. Fantastic muffins.

While the room was very nice, it is hard to call it a bed and breakfast when breakfast is a muffin and coffee. The people were very nice and it was an enjoyable place to stay.

My husband and I stayed in a suite in the cottage. Just lovely! Muffins were delicious, especially the apple pie muffin and the strawberry peach muffin. As expected, muffins are the only breakfast food served at the cottage. Not the typical breakfast at a bed and breakfast.

Very clean, friendly, comfortable, great breakfast, great location

Our two night stay was satisfactory...most everything was as advertised. The only detractor was that the common areas (halls, stairwell, living and dining rooms) were not air conditioned. The weather was unseasonably hot during our stay which would have made "whole house" airconditioning nice to have. Individual room window AC units made the bedrooms comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

I'm so glad that we selected this bed and breakfast for our stay in Old Orchard Beach. Heidi and her husband were so welcoming and helpful. Muffins were varied each day, the coffee was hot, and the tea choices were plentiful. If you are looking for a classy place just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the beach, THIS IS IT! It was quiet and peaceful, but just a short walk to the pier. This b&b is a great choice--NO regrets!!

We had a pleasant stay at the Atlantic Birches Inn, despite bad weather. Our room was comfortable, but the mattress was very firm. Breakfast was adequate, muffins & fruit, although a full breakfast would have been nice. Nice & friendly owners, were unobtrusive.

Heidi and Ray were fantastic hosts and were there to answer any question. They recommended places to see, directions and places to eat. Breakfast was a treat with lovely fresh fruit and yummy muffins. A wonderful place to stay and we will recommend it to anyone going to Old Orchard Beach.

Great place to stay in Maine. Ray and Heidi were very helpful in finding good restaurants and places to visit. Highly recommend this bed and breakfast.

Enjoyed the stay at Atlantic Birches Inn...quiet, comfortable place. Easy to relax.

We always enjoy returning to the Atlantic Birches. This year was no exception. From the reception to departing, Ray and Heidi continue to be friendly and most accommodating in providing excellent lodging, service, and "Great Muffins." Tom & Sally

The inn is beautiful. We just love it there we go every year, they are very accommodating.

Wonderful place to stay within walking distance of beach & pier. Owners full of tips & very nice.

Great B&B to stay at in Old Orchard Beach. Close enough to the beaches to walk to or drive a little up the beach for more privacy. The rooms were clean and it felt close to home. The fresh muffins were yummy. My daughter was sick and the Innkeepers were very accomodating and went out of there way to make her feel comfortable. I would stay here again. Plus the recommendations they gave for things to do and places to eat where great!

We just returned from a 3 night stay at the Atlantic Birches. The Abbot Suite was perfect for our family of four. My husband, son and I had our own room with 2 beds (queen and twin) and my mom had her own room with a queen bed. It was like having our own little apartment on the 3rd floor. The bathroom that adjoins the two rooms is quite spacious and there are ceiling fans as well as air conditioning. You can tell that Ray and Heidi give this inn a lot of love and attention. It is very well-kept, very clean and all of the rooms are beautiful. They do an excellent job of accommodating all kinds of travelers--families, couples, young, old, etc. Having a pool was and added bonus and my 7 year old really enjoyed it. The beach, restaurants, amusement park, etc. is no more than a 5 minute walk from the inn and Ray and Heidi gave lots of good suggestions for things we could do nearby in Portland and Freeport. Ray's restaurant picks were spot on! And the muffins at breakfast are simply divine! Our favorites were the Apple Pie and Pumpkin Chocolate Chip. We enjoyed chatting with fellow guests during breakfast or at the pool and the innkeepers create a relaxed and laid back atmosphere. Atlantic Birches is a gem and we would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful place close to the beach. Ray is very helpful with dining and activities suggestions.

Had a delightful stay with Heidi and Ray. Very knowledgeable innkeepers. Our room was very cozy and the bed was very comfortable. We really enjoyed the well maintained in-ground pool. We had great coffee and muffins for breakfast and great recommendations for restaurants in the Old Orchard Beach area.

We had a great family getaway at the Atlantic Birches Inn. My husband and I stayed in a cottage suite with our two daughters (8 and 6). The room was VERY clean, the layout was nice, and we appreciated that the room had a small kitchenette for our food. We LOVED the location--it was easy to walk to everything, but it was away from all the noise and congestion of the pier and beach. Our daughters LOVED the pool, too. The muffins every morning were great, but after the third day, it would have been nice to have some variety (maybe some bagels or English muffins or fruit). I would definitely recommend the Atlantic Birches to a friend; we thought it was a great value for our vacation!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay here and would definitely come back again. Ray and Heidi, the innkeepers, were so nice and gave us fabulous dining recommendations. The inn is walking distance from the beach, boardwalk and the Amtrak station. The innkeepers have a beautiful home which is seen in the attention to detail throughout the house. Coffee and other breakfast goodies, especially the muffins, were delicious!

Ray was most pleasant and hepful for any questions we had. The room was clean and well appointed, as was the bath. We were delighted and are looking forward to another stay there in the future. The location was excellent for local attractios like the beach, or for touring other parts of the state.

What an awesome 4 night stay! Our motorcycle trailer was a bit larger than we thought but Ray had no problem making room for it and our bikes. Right from our arrival Ray and Heidi made themselves available and had fantastic dining and motorcycle route advice. The Old Orchard room was spotless, tastefully decorated in vintage wedding memorabilia, and had a great breeze with the bay windows opened. During our visit the inn was always quiet despite being a full-house. Breakfast was perfect. FRESH home made muffins and FRESH fruit and juices. Just enough to hold you over until you find a cool shack for lunch. Ray & Heidi take the time to make each guest feel important at breakfast by asking questions and offering up any tips they have. Take his advice on dinners and don't waste your time at mainstream restaurants. All in all we had a perfect stay at Atlantic Birches and can't wait to come back.

Wonderfully clean inn with a great location to the beach and Portland. Innkeeper had lots of great suggestions for things to do, along with maps and brochures of local attractions.

Ray and Heidi are very pleasant, very helpful hosts. The room was a little awkward to get around what with the low, slanted ceiling in "the Cleves". We also wished we could have opened the one window to get some of that cool Maine air in the evening, but we were happy to have the air conditioner. Very convenient location to the main drag in Old Orchard Beach and only 5-10 minute walk to the beach.

La situation est idéale dans le village, avec vue de la mer dès que l'on sort du B&B, la plage très accessible à pied de même que les resto. C'est très tranquille, très propre et les hôtes sont très disponibles. Nous y retournerons dès l'année prochaine!!!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Review rating seemed low so I translated the review Ideal location in the village, overlooking the sea as soon as we leave the B & B, beach easily accessible on foot as well as the restaurant. It is very quiet, very clean and the hosts are available. We'll be back next year!

- Ray Deleo (innkeeper)

We stopped Atlantic Birches on a trip down Maine coast; we drove down the coast to Kennebunkport, York, ... to explore the coast including light houses, rocky shores, beaches, and we returned to rest at Atlantic Birches. We slept well!

We were lucky enough to stay at the Atlantic Birches Inn in Old Orchard Beach , Maine for two days last week. We had tried to get a room in the main house but it was so popular we settled for a cottage room. What a pleasant suprise! The first night we had the lovely beach cottage almost to ourselves. The rooms were impeccably clean, with adorable seascape decor and quaint cottage touches everywhere. The owner was very friendly and helpful with attractions, directions and restaurant information. The cottage was a short distance to a great family beach and midway with rides, food, ice cream, shops and fun everywhere! The breakfast for the cottage was wonderful although a little less lavish than the main house but that was understandable and clearly stated on their website. We especially adored the pumpkin muffins and the coffee was excellent. We would go back to Old Orchard Beach again in a heart beat and gladly stay in the Atlantic Birches beach cottage again. Next time I hope to book a room in the main Victorian house which looked beautiful. You will not regret your choice if you decide to try this well-appointed B & B .

Thank you so much Ray and Heidi for a lovely home away form home weekend! You were so helpful with advise and suggestions on where to go and not to go! Your Inn was such a quaint place to relax and enjoy the company of my friends! I would absolutely recommend your place to everyone!!

This is a very nice inn, however not really a bed and breakfast. There were coffee, juice and muffins only. We loved the location and the inn keepers were very nice and helpful. The location is great, very close to pier & boardwalk.

We had a nice stay at this bed & breakfast; it was quiet, comfortable and clean. Also near the downtown area and beach - within walking distance. Only inconveniences would be there is no rear entrance to use and all parking is in the back on of the house. You have to carry all your belongings from the parking lot out back all the way around to the front of the house. There are champagne buckets in the rooms but you cannot get ice from anywhere in the house yourself - have to find innkeepers who reside in a section of the house. But despite these minor inconveniences, we did have a nice stay.

We are looking forward to spending more time at Atlantic Birches. Heidi and Ray are wonderful hosts, and we love the atmosphere of the inn.

I stayed at the Atlantic Birches Inn for my honeymoon. We stayed in the Old Orchard room which, to my surprise, was wedding themed! I didn't even plan that, and it was perfect. Heidi and Ray are really sweet folks who gave us great recommendations on authentic places to eat. I liked the location as it was near the main strip, but not right on it. Our room was quiet and calm with a quick walk to the beach and shopping. My only low rating is on the dining section because I thought the breakfast was a little skimpy compared to other B & B's where I've stayed. The breakfast is "continental" style with muffins, bagels, cereal, and fruit salad. Though I could tell it was made with love, it did leave me wanting lunch a little earlier than usual. However, as I said before, everything else was outstanding!

Enjoyed our stay at Atlantic Birches. Hosts were friendly, very knowledgeable about the area. Continental breakfasts with fresh fruit and homemade muffins were filling.

The location was great--short walk to the beach but away from the hustle and bustle at the beach. The room was clean and quaint--very nice. The innkeepers had great recommendations for places to see and eat. I wouldn't want to be in the area during busy season, but it was perfect during off season.

I stayed with my parents and enjoyed the beach cottage atmosphere. We were also able to walk to the beach within minutes and devoured homemade ice cream while watching the moon over the water. This inn is very easy to locate, is clean and extremely peaceful.

The owners were very friendly and helpful in planning our days once we got there, providing maps, directions, suggestions. Property was pretty, rooms clean and quiet even with full capacity. Will go back!

Nous avons passé deux jours merveilleux à Old Orchard et l'Atlantic Birches Inn y est pour quelque chose! Nous avons été très bien accueillie lors de notre arrivée. On nous a indiqué des restaurants et des endroits à visiter puisque nous ne connaissions pas le coin. La chambre était magnifique et tout était extrêmement propre. Les muffins au déjeuner étaient délicieux et toujours servis à l'heure prévue. Le jour où nous retournerons à Old Orchard nous n'hésiterons pas à retourner, par le fait même, à l'Atlantic Birches Inn!

My wife and I recently stayed at the Atlantic Birches Inn for two night. We were very impressed with the accommodations. Ray and Heidi made us feel very welcome right from the start. The setting is beautiful, just 2 blacks from the beach. The rooms were clean and nicely decorated. We stayed in the Cottage and were fortunate to have it to ourselves so we felt like we were in our own private house. Overall we were very happy with the service and hospitality. We would definitely recommend it to anyone and if we are ever in the region again, we will certainly be staying there!

We chose the Atlantic Birches Inn because of the feel of coziness we got from looking at the photos online and we were not disappointed. Our room was very pretty and clean and the location of the B&B was ideal - we even got to renew our wedding vows on the beach!! Needless to say, we had a wonderful time during our stay...and yes, the homemade muffins are delicious :)

Clean well kept rooms. Friendly advice from owners. Please note there are no hair dryers in the rooms, so you will need to bring your own. Also breakfast is served light with tasty muffins, coffee, tea and OJ. Close walk/access to the beach without being in the trall of people.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We are sorry that we do have hair dryers in the rooms we have found that most guests do bring their own hair dryers and as for the guests that have left or forgotten their hair dryers at home we do supply them upon request. As for the light breakfast served in the Cottage house the breakfast is clearly stated (coffee, tea’s juices and fresh baked gourmet muffins) on our website and confirmation letter. There is a kitchen area for those that what to bring there own breakfast favorites.

- Ray (innkeeper)

Ray was very discrete but very available, never far away. For antique lovers..... very beautiful house.

This was a great place to stay! The inn keeper was very knowledgable about area locations, places to eat, and attractions. He was so excited to tell us about the area and food that we wanted to stay for weeks! We will def. be going back sometime soon, we really did have a blast and the rooms are wonderful

The room was very quaint. The breakfasts were a little spartan, but adequate.

This was an amazing experience for my wife and I, she loved it, her words were "perfect, absolutely Perfect" The Innkeepers were pleasent, freindly and made us feel right at home, their recommendations were on point and appreciated. They made us feel special. Thank you Ray and Heidi you played a very big part in making our visit to Maine unforgetable and we will return.

I stayed at Atlantic Birches for an off-season weekend get-away. The accomodations were exactly as described on their website, with no unpleasant surprises. The hosts, Heidi and Ray, were extremely helpful and friendly!

Ray & Heidi make the inn what it is. They are helpful with sights to see, where to eat, anything you need to know. They took beautiful care of us. Jim & Marilyn, California

We stayed at the cottage in the Seashore room. Our room and the bathroom were clean and bright. Ray and Heidi were very helpful and nice.

Atlantic Birches is a wonderful Inn, conveniently located within walking distance to the beach, and just a short drive to Portland. Fresh, wholesome breakfast combined with friendly innkeepers and a pool! Makes this a perfect choice!

My wife and I stayed a couple of nights in the cottage this fall. Ray and Heidi made us most welcome and gave plenty of advice on what to see and where to eat. The decor in the cottage is very cosy and beautifully themed to its coastal location. Only disappointment was the breakfast, Heidi bakes the most splendid muffins but those and a cup of thermos coffee was all that was on offer, no cereal, friut or toast options. There were facilities to self cater but this was not an option we were prepared for. All considered we would stay again.

Like staying with a friend. Wouldn't hesitate to visit Ray & Heidi again. Great spot for a future getaway.

We had a lovely 3 day stay at the Atlantic Birches Inn. Ray & Heidi were wonderful hosts. The variety of muffins were delicious and we enjoyed our breakfasts on the porch.

We stayed in The Old Orchard Room which was very nice and roomy. The shower was a bit small, especially for a pregnant lady!! The Inn was very clean and the breakfast was good. The owners were very pleasant and very helpful-they recommended some great places to eat. It was not as extravagantly decorated as some Inn's can be, which we liked. We would have liked a TV in the room but there was one available in the common room. We would definitely recommend this Inn.

The innkeepers were friendly and extremely helpful. They provided good information about attractions in the area and even a gave us a free pass to one of them. The interior of the facility was lovely, however, the exterior could use some sprucing up especially the landscape maintenance. While we were not affected, I think it is important to note that at least one of the rooms did not have a bathroom in the room. It was designated for occupants of that room but was down the hall. I would not have been happy if I had been assigned that room. The only minor disappointment was the breakfast provided. It was fairly meager compared to our experience in other B&Bs.

I stayed in one of the cottage suites. It was a great choice; location, comfort, amenities, privacy. I can’t imagine a better value in B&B!

Innkeeper was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable of the area. Presented a delicious breakfast which consisted of homemade muffins, bagels, English muffins, toast, cereal, juice, coffee, tea, hot chocolate. Very much above your average continental breakfast. In ground pool was also a plus.

Very comfortable accommodations - lots of opportunity for socializing in lounges or on porches and gazebo. Heidi and Ray were very hospitable and were knowledgeable re dining and sightseeing destinations. Convenient location to Old Orchard and its attractions - as well as to Portland and the coastal towns to the south. Would not hesitate to stay here again or to recommend it to others.

Inn was clean and definitely had the charm of an old home. The innkeepers were gracious and provided excellent recommendations for dining and touring. I would definitely recommend this inn to others.

We enjoy staying at B&B's because of the family attitude. We felt very welcomed here. The hosts, Ray and Heidi, were outstanding with recommendations for dinner. We will stay with them again and will recommend others to them. Moe and Debbie, NH

B&B keepers in the know - things to do and where to go. Where to eat, they'll direct your feet to the best places. Ray and Heidi were helpful, congenial and hospitable!

The inn was incredibly beautiful. Heidi and Ray, the innkeepers, were great hosts. We truly loved this inn and will remember the trip forever. Stay there - you'll love it.

My girlfriend and I enjoyed this place because Ray and Heidi made you feel at home! I especially love the different types of muffins they served!

Our entire vacation, start to finish, was stellar. Ray and Heidi are cordial, non-intrusive folks and both are informed about their community and a pleasure to talk with. We'll be back!!

We had a perfect vacation - thanks to Heidi and Ray at Atlantic Birches.

The rooms are sooo beautiful. The bed was superb - and extremely comfortable. Each room has its own air conditioner and mine had a ceiling fan as well, so you can set it to your own liking. Great location - short drive to Portland, Kennebunkport, Ogunkuit, York, Arundel and Freeport to name a few. Saw a great show at the Arundel Barn Playhouse - delightful. Ray was very helpful and knowledgeable. Great choice!

Our stay at Atlantic Birches Inn was exceptional! It was a beautiful home, friendly hosts, and a scrumptious breakfast! We would definitely stay again.

The inn was warm and inviting, and Ray was more than helpful with directions and suggestions regarding places to go and things to see. We sat out on the porch with our muffins and coffee and chatted with him in the morning for what must have been 45 minutes. So relaxing and enjoyable. Only wish we could have stayed longer...my husband and I would love to return and have already recommended the Atlantic Birches to friends.

My husband and I spent Memorial Day weekend at the Atlantic Birches and we are so glad we did. The hosts, Ray and Heidi, were very friendly, informative and extremely knowledgeable about the area. Our room was spectacular, as were all the others that I had seen! Our breakfasts were yummy, the muffins were to die for, and the dining room always had such interesting people to talk to. It was so close to all the shops, restaurants and "happenings" that made it so convenient. We loved our stay and intend to get back there as soon as possible. I give them kudos on such a nice place to spend a long weekend!!

Stayed first week in Oct 09. Great place. The inn owners are wonderful and full of great information about the area.

The B&B was a charming Victorian, hosted by friendly & helpful Ray & Heidi. The location was perfect and we would happily stay there again.

Terrific value for the price. Very friendly and helpful with directions and information. We would definitely go back.

good dinner tips ,excellent location

Ray & Heidi are very informative and their hospitality is awesome. The inn is warm, cozy and inviting. A must stay.

We really enjoyed our stay. The host was so helpful an friendly. The rooms and decor were beautiful and very clean. We will recommend this B&B to others.

Service was excellent!

My wife and took our 1st "only us" vacaiton since our kids were born, and we chose this inn based on iloveinns.com. We couldn't have made a better choice! Ray and Heidi were excellent hosts and made our stay wonderful. Ray noticed my wife having a glass of wine on the porch one night, went inside and came back with a glass of wine he likes (which was excellent per my wife) and even told us where could find it. Their recommendations of places to eat were spot on. We will definitely be back!!

We were so happy with our trip to Atlantic Birches Inn. the room was very comfortable. The innkeepers, Ray and Heidi, were very helpful with exploring Maine.

Great hospitality- beautiful rooms!

Can't wait to come back again!

I really loved the place, it was perfect (location, house keepers, room, breakfast...). It's a place everyone should go at least one time!

I really enjoyed my stay. The place is very clean and people are really kind. Great breakfast, great pool.

I really enjoyed my stay. Our hosts were so nice and pleasant. Everything was clean and the breakfast was very good. I would, no doubt, come back here!

Amazing hosts! Very warm and cozy. Clean and cute rooms. very good breakfast. Heidi and Ray are doing the greatest job ever; no place is as welcoming as Atlantic Birches Inn!

The rooms are clean. The breakfast is great. Close to every thing. And most of all the inn keepers Ray & Hiedi are two of the nicest people ive ever met what more could you ask for. Will be returning very soon.

Personal innkeeper, clean, and comfortable rooms

Very friendly owners! Nicely decorated and close to shops and beach. you can't go wrong staying here!

Thank you guys for the best stay ever!

The planned visit started as a stop off point to breakup a long drive. Once we arrived, we knew it was a 'keeper'. Inn was quaint, cozy, well decorated, and super clean! The owners were friendly, down to Earth, good people. Why didn't we stay longer??? We will be back!!!

Between the atmosphere, breakfast and location this B&B was the best of its kind. The innkeepers were always so warm and informative. Highly recommended!

Great place to stay. Innkeepers were so friendly, knowledgable about the area, and hospitable. Rooms were clean and comfy.

Being a big city boy all my llife, the thought of going to Maine wasn't tops on my list of places to go. Went to Maine with my gf for her family reunion and stayed at this B&B. Ray and Heidi are Phenomenal! Their B&B is quiet, Beautiful, cozy and 2 blocks from the beach. They make you feel like you're family. The rooms have a sense of history about them with modern amenities. Loved it so much we're going back.

On June 21st, 2008 - we got married under the gazebo at the Atlantic Birches Inn by Heidi and Ray. It is a beautiful inn and we had an amazing time. They were both so very helpful in making our day special and for giving us helpful ideas on sightseeing and restaurants. We would (and have) recommend the Atlantic Birches to anyone looking for a great retreat out on the coast. We look forward to many more stays in the future for our anniversaries. Sue and Todd Warren, PA

We were married by Heidi & Ray on June 21st at the Atlantic Birches. We had an amazing stay and really enjoyed their comfortable inn. They are amazing people. We are looking forward to returning in the coming years for our anniversaries.

If you're looking for a wonderful B&B on the Maine coast, Atlantic Birches Inn is the place for you. Ray & Heidi make your stay extra special and the Inn is just gorgeous! This is one place you won't want to miss!

Very charming Victorian B&B. Clean & comfortable rooms. Great breakfast.

We (sadly)returned from Atlantic Birches Inn. My wife , my son and I could not be any happier. OUr stay was outstanding. Rya, Heidi and Alison are awesome!

This is our 13th year staying at the Atlantic Birches Inn and our stay continues to be delightful. Ray and Heidi are the perfect hostess and a great source of information for coastal Maine. It is an excellent Bed and Breakfast. The Inn is a perfect location to walk to all the activities of Old Orchard Beach.

I have never seen such a beautiful place - such wonderful people, warm and relaxing.

My wife and I chose to stay at the Atlantic Birches Inn based upon the information provided in their website and their location, which is within walking distance to the town and the beach. Heidi and Ray provided everything we needed to make our 50th wedding anniversary a memorable occasion. On a 10 point scale this is an 11.

We have stayed at The Atlantic Birches three times in the past couple years and have nothing but good words to say about this terrific B&B! First, the owners, Ray and Heidi, are very accomodating and wonderful people! Second, the rooms are beautifully decorated and clean and are a great getaway to any busy life or even for just some peace n' quiet! Thirdly, the area is great! You can walk right to the ocean. And, even if the weather isn't cooperating, there is lots to do in nearby cities! The breakfast was very good....homemade muffins and fruit salad, and everything to go with it! Great place, good people...that's all ya need! Thank you-Ray and Heidi!

a quaint and attractive inn. comfortable and pleasant atmosphere with very friendly host

We had a wonderful time at the Atlantic Birches. Our host were very helpful and the room was very nice. I would definitely revisit this B&B and I highly recommend it.

We visit Old Orchard each year, and try to stay at a different b&b each year. By far, the Atlantic Birches Inn will now be our place to stay. Great innkeepers, spotless rooms, great conversations, and nice pool. Excellent knowledge of area, including restaurants, sight seeing, and things to do / places to go.

Stayed for a week in one of the kitchenette suites. Spotless accomodations, great breakfast, great location to other towns, knowledgable innkeepers. We will definetly be back.

I just came back from ME for our short summer trip.During our vacation for 4 days there, we had a wonderful time. They did many extra works for us and we felt we stayed in our uncle's house. It seemed like ideal and sweet home. I strongly recommed any of you to go there. It is better than you simply watch in the web site. S& J

Id like to thank Ray and Hiedi for making my stay at the Atlantic Birches inn so pleasent. The rooms are spotless and very comfortable. the grounds spectacular the breakfast plentiful. Thanks again Ray And Heidi for running such a great place.See you again soon.
