FAQ’s

    • Exclusive use of the 9 guest rooms

    • Exclusive use of all common spaces (note that our family does live on-site and will be present intermittently to service common areas and for any needs that arise)

    • Parking for up to 10 cars in our nearby lot

    • House-made pastries and fresh-brewed, locally-roasted organic coffee each morning

  • We have a two-night minimum stay requirement June-October.

    November-May there is no minimum stay requirement.

  • The maximum number of people we can have as overnight guests is 19; total event capacity is dependent on event type.

  • We have dedicated parking a short walk from the hotel that can accommodate up to 10 cars; street parking available (with two-hour restriction between 9am-6pm)

  • The short answer is yes :) If you are looking for a caterer or private chef, we can certainly make some local recommendations of amazing folks we’ve worked with.

  • This question requires a bit more discussion and nuance. Because we operate under a Maine State Liquor License, if alcohol is being consumed in our common areas, even as part of a private family get-together, that alcohol must be served by a Lindsey Hotel staff member, or a mobile bar service. Alcohol consumption within the guest rooms is not regulated by us and is at your discretion. We’re happy to discuss further!

  • Here’s a quick high-level summary of our most important terms:

    • We ask for 50% of the total cost up front, and the other 50% thirty days prior to your event.

    • Event insurance will be required in some cases, dependent on event type.

    • A refundable security deposit may be due on the day of arrival.

    Cancellation:

    • More than 60 days before arrival: We’ll refund everything paid, minus an administrative fee (10% of the total)

    • 30–60 days before arrival: 50% of the total reservation cost is non-refundable

    • Within 30 days of arrival: The reservation becomes fully non-refundable

  • Due to our small size, we do not offer the ability to create room blocks or hold rooms.
