Our Historic Register Inn is located in Dexter, Maine which is just 20 minutes off I95 and 50 minutes drive to Bangor and the beautiful, scenic Moosehead Lake and Mount Katahdin region.

The Inn is the former mansion home of State Governor and Senator Owen Brewster who was portrayed by Alan Alda in the Golden Globe winning movie "The Aviator" that co-starred Leonardo DiCaprio as Howard Hughes so its pretty historic.

The Brewster Inn is perfect for weddings, special events, scrapbooking and craft groups, parties, winter sports and corporate retreats.

Whether you are looking for a beautiful vacation filled with outdoor activities, romantic getaway, quiet weekend of relaxation, wedding or retreat location, Mark and Judith at the Brewster Inn of Dexter, Maine would love to look after you and treat you to some wonderful English hospitality.

We're big into "social media" here and incase your on Facebook, we have our official page there.

    The Beckford (Rose), Queen bed and tub/shower. This was one of Brewsters childrens bedrooms.

Rich shades of green and traditional english style furnishings set the mood for the newly decorated Beckford guestroom. (formerly the Rose Room)  

Looking out over the gardens makes for cheerful mornings. This mid-size room is furnished with a comfortable queen size bed. 

A large television stands in one corner and can be enjoyed from the comfort of the bed or the lady's side chair. A 4 drawer dresser provides ample storage. 

The spacious private bath features a tub with shower. 
The Charlbury (Blueberry) room. This was one of the maids bedrooms and comes with a queen bed and tub and shower. Its a very quiet and peaceful room.

Quiet and comfortable with leafy views! 

Our guests will enjoy the newly decorated Charlbury guestroom. (Formerly The Blueberry Room) with its calming shades of blue and brown. (This room was once used as the maids quarters.) The French provincial queen size bed and antique dresser will delight those who adore shabby Chic furnishings. 

Relax in the comfortable bold striped chair; great for catching up on reading or enjoying a movie on the television. 

There is a large sink and vanity unit  in one corner of the main room and a private bathroom with tub and shower.
    The very large whirlpool in the Honeymoon Suite. The Honeymoon Suite is what was Brewsters lawyers office and is a big wood paneled room with plenty of comfy seating, a fireplace and a 2nd bedroom within.

A splendid, rustic yet elegant, three room suite! Perfect for a romantic honeymoon, anniversary, bride's retreat or other special getaway.
