  • Atlantic Birches Inn Video: A relaxing vacation awaits at the Atlantic Birches Inn. The Inn is comprised of two homes, the 1903 Victorian shingle style Main House, and the 1920's bungalow called the Cottage. Each building houses five comfortable and uniquely decorated smoke-free guest rooms all with private baths and air-conditioning, large living rooms, and casual dining areas for our homemade Continental breakfasts. Rooms vary from a cozy retreat for two, up to a two bedroom suite for a family of five. The Inn reflects the peace and tranquility of yesteryear, with a casual elegance. Guests enjoy the opportunity to linger over breakfast on our front porches shaded by Birch Trees, or our Gazebo surrounded by perienal gardens or just bask in the sun by the outdoor heated pool. A short two minute walk from the Inn takes you to Old Orchard Beach's lively downtown, and Maine's largest white sand beach. Located just 12 minutes from Portland and Kennebunkport, and 25 minutes from Freeport and Kittery, the Inn is conveniently located and offers a quiet respite in a busy vacation.

    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! :)

    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.
