Our little secret… 🤫 the best time for a Seacoast getaway is during the week.

Fall is a beautiful season to enjoy , but with charming weather, colorful strolls, and so much to enjoy downtown, the weekends can get a little busy...

We love the energy, but there’s something extra special about a quieter midweek retreat.

Imagine crisp fall air, a peaceful stay in a historic Victorian inn, warm hospitality, and a homemade breakfast to start your day...

Sounds like the perfect escape to us. 🍂

We can’t wait to welcome you!
