General Information

Nestled in the Blue Mountains of Western Maine, The Perennial Inn awaits your visit. Built in 1884, this charming Victorian farmhouse sits on 42 acres of grassy fields, pine forests, stream and ponds. Once a working farm and three generation cider mill, this large historic New England home with its wraparound porch, and huge red barn combines natural beauty, comfort, and seclusion with convenient access to local area attractions. You'll find it hard to believe you're only a country mile from Route 2 The ambiance projects a genuine feeling of country hospitality. You will be pampered with thick, thirsty cotton towels, warm terry cloth robes and cozy, warm down comforters. Serene instrumental music gently fills the public areas as the afternoon fire crackles in the fieldstone fireplace in the gathering room. A large billiard table waits for an early evening game between you and new and old friends before leaving for a quiet dinner nearby. When you arrive back from dinner, the jets to the hot tub will be gurgling as you walk by, inviting you to soak under the stars, completing a perfect day in the country. Dogs welcome by reservation.
