Benjamin F Packard House
-
Our beautiful 18th century shipbuilder's home is ideally located in the heart of Bath's historic district with easy access to downtown restaurants and shopping.
The Down Easter Room, named for the classification of ships that included the “Benjamin F. Packard”, showcases a queen-size cherry four-poster bed. The antique rocker, dresser and side tables create a mid 1800’s feel that belies the modern amenities. The private bath with tile floor has a tub/shower to make your stay complete.
The Niagara Room is a tribute to the owner’s previous home town; Erie, Pennsylvania. Named for the US Brig Niagara, Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry's flagship used during the Battle of Lake Erie, this maritime themed room is rigged with photos and ship plans of the famous ship. Featuring a queen-size brass and iron bed as the room's focal point coupled with antique furnishings and a private bath.
The Packard Room is our largest guest quarters providing luxury and privacy. It is located in the most secluded area of the house, providing the extra privacy which many couples enjoy. The spacious room features a king-size bed, antique dresser and bedside tables and a comfortable reading chair. A private bath has twin sinks and a tub/shower combo. The window view overlooks our private garden and patio.
Our Garden Suite has a large bedroom with a queen-size bed, a comfortable sitting room and a private bath with a shower. The sitting room allows for additional sleeping space on the pull out queen sofa bed. This is ideal for parents and one or two teenagers. There are two great views; the bedroom overlooks our garden and patio while the sitting room overlooks the front of the house. The rooms' garden themed décor brings the garden inside all year round.
After a restful night's sleep, wake up to a gourmet breakfast served in our formal dining room

Tea, fruit, and home-made cookies by a roaring fire in February--oh, I can get to loooove this! Wait, what about the elegant, but not fussy room--and the bed turn-down service with a crystal pitcher of ice water and chocolate? So, now that I'm home, I am still mourning not waking up to Amy's fabulous breakfast each day. I better go back. You should go, too.

This inn is extremely convenient, close to town, very clean, nice rooms and good food. The innkeeper is very accommodating. I would stay here again.
5 out of 5Warm hospitality at its best
July 13, 2010
My wife and I stayed at the Benjamin F Packard House for three nights as our honeymoon. I had heard wonderful things in others' reviews. All the same, we were blown away. Amy and Mark's hospitality was beyond our expectations. It's the little things—a pitcher of ice water appearing on the dresser in the evening, a lamp on and waiting to welcome us back to our room for the night. But it's also the big things—like Amy's incredible raspberry peach crisp, not to mention her ability to make three different and delicious breakfasts gluten-free for my wife. If I have any regret, it is that we were having so much fun exploring Maine (thanks to Amy and Mark's suggestions) that we missed afternoon tea at the house. We'll just have to come back.

We found the innkeepers friendly and knowledgeable, with lots of good tips about what to see and where to eat in the area. The B&B was spotless, well decorated, and the breakfast was excellent.
