    We had to be in Bangor for business on a Friday, so we decided to make a reservation at a B& B for the night. Old Winterport Commercial House fit our budget and our interest in antiques AND was a delight:great building, lovely room with fireplace, clean and comfortable bath. Ann and Ray are friendly, knowledgeable people. They made wonderful dinner recommendations and served up a fine breakfast. We will go back for sure, and stay longer--the downstairs antique store needs a longer look/see.

    a very cozy surprise right around the corner from where we live. The room was lovely, breakfast was homemade and delicous and the service was wonderful, could not have asked for anything more. Definitely surpassed our expectations. Thank you so much. We will be back, Wendy and Marianne

    When I needed to find lodging for a concert in Bangor, ME, I hit Google and Bedandbreakfast.com. I live in Hampden, MD & was happy to find a "Hampden Room." Ann & Ray (owners) were amazing & I will come back & recommend to everyone!

    Ann & Ray did a phenomenal job making sure our party was happy & satisfied. Winterport was a cute & dainty area, close enough to the bigger city of Bangor as well as the coast, so you can explore all the areas. We loved that breakfast was just out all morning, and we didn't have to gather at any certain time. The Inn was clean & very convenient for all of our activities all weekend.
