Local Area Attractions: View our magnificent sunrises and sunsets just steps away from the inn on gorgeous, glistening, Penobscot Bay! USA Today has rated Belfast as one of the country's top five "culturally cool" small towns. Belfast is located in mid-coast Maine overlooking Penobscot Bay far from the madding crowds of Camden and Bar Harbor, but perfectly situated between the two for day trips. The town has changed from its earlier shipbuilding and industrial identity into a cultural mecca. In historic brick buildings you will find art galleries, antique shops, book stores and restaurants. The area offers year-round theatre, state parks, a train excursion, bay cruises, golf, skiing, nearby sand beaches, and more! The Alden House is located in the heart of the historic district along with many homes which were built before the Civil War. The Belfast Historic Walking Tour invites you to saunter a mile amid these splendid period homes. Within minutes you can walk to the heart of downtown Belfast or to the waterfront dotted with sailboats and lobster boats. Come and experience an affordable, authentic, New England coastal community!
