Fodor's Expert Review Asticou Inn
15 Peabody Rd., Northeast Harbor, Maine, 04662, USA
Overlooking the water out back and practically hugging Route 3 out the front, this 1883 four-story gray-shingled restaurant and inn can’t be missed nor is the opportunity to dine here and savor the spectacular view of picturesque Northeast Harbor, especially from the large deck fronting the classic old New England dining room. The menu offers a handful of entrées, including filet mignon, and lighter fare like fish tacos. The dining room’s mural-like wallpaper adds to the old New England vibe. Many of the inn’s guest rooms (30 in the main house), each well-appointed and unique, have water views.
PROS
- popovers with strawberry jam
- award-winning seafood chowder
- lodging choices outside the main inn include funky six-sided 1960s cottages nicknamed “spaceships”
