This is truly a unique and beautiful inn. The innkeepers Ruth and Dan are gracious, friendley and more than accommodating. The decoration and attention to historic detail is evident from the moment you walk through the door. The rooms are large and spacious with lovely bathrooms filled with thick towels and every ammenity one could require. There are fresh flowers throughout and beautiful gardens surrounding the inn. Dinner was an epicurian delight where each of the five courses left you anticipating the next. The desserts were over the top in beauty and flavor. The breakfast is both elegant and delicious. The quiet and beauty that surrounds the inn is breathtaking and serene. This was truly a wonderfuly experience and we have every intention of returning as it was absolutely fantastic!

It was my wife's birthday and she has always wanted to see the changing of the leaves in Maine. I wanted an elegant inn, nestled in a beautiful setting that was in a remote area so that we could go hiking. The Blair Hill Inn was all of that and more. Dan & Ruth are fantastic hosts. They are so gracious and attentive. Our server Bonnie was golden! By the time we left, we knew we had made some wonderful friends. The Inn is elegant, but not at all stuffy. The Inn is nestled on a hill overlooking a beautiful lake. The rooms are spacious and elegantly appointed. The food was fantastic! For example, we had pork loin and chicken that was raised specifically for the inn on special grain. I highly recommend this place to everyone
not that impressed

owners are more preoccupied with running their evening restaurant business than at least greeting the incomming guests. Did not expect wires hanging out from the ceiling, cracked window panes and some of the house siding being replaced. Under renovation?improvements? The breakfast food is good but not exceptional.
Innkeeper Response
We are truly sorry that this was the impression left with these guests. We work so very hard to make all guests feel welcome and comfortable. Normally, both my husband and I greet diners and guests so we can give everyone our undivided attention. On that evening, I was attending a hospital board meeting which was to end at 6:00PM but unexpectedly ran over leaving my husband alone to check in guests and diners. He didn't mean to seem hurried but apparently he did. We offer this not as an excuse because we know that each guest's expectations must be met, but to explain that we do not treat our 'inn' guests secondary to our diners. I believe that all other reviews here and on tripadvisor. com will attest to that. As to the issues with the guest room itself - we did find a small 2 inch crack at the upper left corner of the window. We don't know when that happened or how but it didn't distract from the view and was quite minor. All of the windows in this room have since been replaced as part of our restoration efforts. As to the wires hanging from the ceiling; just above the guest door next to the existing smoke detector there was a small hole with two wires extending about two inches from the hole. We were in the process of replacing the stand-alone smoke detectors with a new, hard-wired smoke detector system. Upon check-out the new detectors were to be connected and the old removed. Unfortunately, we did not think to explain this as we didn't see it as a distraction from the overall ambience of this beautiful guest room. And, yes, we had just put a new french window in the bathroom of another guest room and were in the process of replacing clapboard around it. I truly wish these guests had told us that they found issue with these things so we could have had a chance to explain and/or offer some sort of amenity in return. We always bend over backwards to make something right if we can!

This inn stands at the top of a hill in a stately setting overlooking fabulous views of Moosehead Lake. We stayed in room with a fabulous King Bed and a view that went on forever. Ruth and Dan are exceptional innkeepers. I've never felt so welcome and appreciated as a guest. They're down to earth, interesting and so interested in the lives of their guests. Anyone who asks to see photos of our kids is tops in my book. We had dinner (they only serve on Thurs-Fri and Sat) and it was exceptional. It's a five course meal and each course is perfection. I'm a dessert lover, and the chocolate cherry brownie sundae with goat milk cheese ice cream was incomparable. The porch is a don't-miss. Incredible views from a porch filled with wicker furniture and a swing. The Inn at Blair Hill is a true winner.
Ohmygosh! A true "Wow!" inn

I've just come back from staying at the Blair House and it is just exquisite. It sits high above a hill overlooking a spectacular view of Moosehead Lake. The verandah has to be one of the best porches of any inn I've ever experienced. It is the perfect place to sip a glass of wine and watch the sun set. One thing I love about this inn is that all the doors to the rooms are left open if the room is unoccupied. This gave me the chance to look into some of the rooms, and each was as lovely as the next. I'd say the decor is primarily Haute Maine Cottage, with plenty of sophisticated touches like marble floors, and exquisite chandelairs. The grounds are truly amazing. The pictures here show the huge front lawn, but don't show all the beautiful stone walls that meander throughout this estate. The gardens are lovely too, and each room, table and foyer bears the pedals with fresh flowers throughout the inn. We had the chance to eat dinner at the Blair Hill Inn and were just in heaven. It's a five-course prix fixe dinner, with each course complementing the one before. The food was just fabulous; better than we can find in our city location. I would have to say, however, the best thing about the Blair Hill Inn is Ruth and Dan, the owners. From the very beginning, we felt welcome by their genuine interest in us and their unpretentious pride in what they've created (from a distressed farmhouse) in the inn. Watching them interact with other guests convinced me they truly love what they do, and that is reflected in the warm hospitality of the inn. I would give this inn my highest recommendation.
