  • Inn Details

    A charming blend of three centuries--the warmth of early furnishings combined with contemporary comforts. An air of quiet simple elegance pervades the common rooms rich with antiques and art, an intimate library with an eclectic collection to appeal to all tastes, uniquely decorated guestrooms. Located in the Oxford Hills and Lakes region which is still one of Maine's best-kept secrets, rich in its own natural beauty and rich in recreational activites-- lakes, skiing, golfing, antiquing, hiking, bicycling, and offering proximity to the seacoast of Maine and the White Mts. of New Hampshire. Full breakfasts and exceptional dinners prepared without a menu, but with guest's personal needs and preferences our highest priority--fine sophisticated dining. Pet friendly.

    As a traveler for work, I stayed here hoping for a quiet, restful inn that would balance a stressful workday. I found this and more. The inn is a pleasure to visit- beautifully decorated, with a flair for history and a lovely collection of pewter throughout. The daily drive to and from Norway, ME is only 15 minutes each way- just far enough to offer a feeling of "getting away" to the countryside. Barbara, the innkeeper, is well-traveled and a caring, delightful hostess. She took a personal interest in my food preferences, and made green tea each morning for me. My room was clean and cozy, and I slept better here than I have in many hotels. I look forward to another visit to this area of the state, and will definitely stay here again.

    We have stayed at the Waterford Inne for years. Each time we are there the food is wonderful, the lodging is like being in my own home. I feel so comfortable there. It is clean beyond words.

    A group of 4 friends and dog discovered a classic New England country inn in Waterford. Barbara Vanderzanden proved to be a gracious, thoughtful host and a really good cook. The inn itself was cozy and warm amidst a snowstorm. We enjoyed it for 4 nights.

    WHAT'S THERE NOT TO LOVE? THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL PLACE !!

    My wife and I have been coming to the Waterford Inne for 12 years - this year we decided to come up for her birthday. Barbara, the innkeeper; made our stay very memorable. Despite a rare August rainy and cold day, we had the best time !! We lit the fireplace ( Chesepeake Room ), watched the wild turkeys walk across the front lawn and then had a wonderful birthday dinner. The inn itself is beautiful and spotlessly clean. Nestled on a country lane surrounded by woods, the Waterford Inne represents what Maine is all about. We are from Long Island, NY - there are times when a good dose of peace and quiet is reallly appreciated - combine that with superb breakfasts, marvelous dinners, very pleasing accomodations, a gorgeous setting and great conversation and you will be MORE than satisfied. We can't wait to come back !!
