    We were welcomed to the Mermaid Cove Inn as friends, even though we were first time visitors. We enjoyed playing music with the innkeeper, and he was very generous in photocopying music for us to bring on our way. He even gave us a musical instrument! We sampled some of his home-brewed beer which was delicious, and which he kindly offered to us. The jalapeno beer was particularly delicious. The room was very spacious and we enjoyed the high bed, as well as a private sitting room and bathroom all to ourselves. All in all we had a wonderful stay and would recommend it to anyone.

    A great one-night stay, wish it had been longer

    A quick one-night stay on our way home to Nova Scotia and it was a wonderful night. Great B&B, very quaint & charming, with lovely hosts Mary & Kyle. If we are ever in this part of the US again, we will definitely stay here. Thank you both for your hospitality!

    I visited the lovely state of Maine in November and stayed at this quaint Inn. The service and friendliness of the innkeepers went above and beyond. They are a most lovely couple that make your stay an enjoyable one, and their breakfasts are "out of this world!" Thanks Kyle and Mary for a wonderful time!! Sue & Sally

    We stayed at Mermaid Cove Inn while visiting Maine to attend a friend's wedding in Bangor. We searched B&Bs in the area and Mermaid Cove seemed like a great fit. I have to admit that I was almost worried because the price was a STEAL, but it was everything it seems to be online. Kyle and Mary are the sweetest hosts, even accommodating our vegetarian diet with a very delicious and filling breakfast both days that we stayed there. We had the Cove Room, which was beautifully decorated and had the most comfortable bed and a private entrance (perfect for us since we stayed out a little late for the wedding). We absolutely loved it there and will definitely stay again if we ever find ourselves in that part of Maine again!

    Great hospitality, comfy rooms

    My wife and I needed a place to stay after a wedding and we were pleasantly surprised with the Mermaid Inn. Mary and Kyle were very friendly and accommodating to our needs. The breakfast was excellent as was the cozy room we stayed in. Kyle and Mary worked really hard to make us feel at home at their place.
