Blue Hill Inn

The Blue Hill Inn has been hosting travelers since 1840 on one of the village’s main streets, within walking distance of everything. It’s a Federal-style inn, decorated in a Colonial American motif; creaky wooden floors stamp it with authenticity. The innkeepers have pleasantly furnished all rooms with antiques and down comforters; a few units in the main house have wood-burning fireplaces (main house rooms are open only from mid-May through the end of October), while a large contemporary suite in an adjacent, free-standing building has a cathedral ceiling, fireplace, full kitchen, living room, and deck (and it’s open year-round). Most rooms lack telephones. Breakfasts here are very good, maybe because the eggs are fresh from the innkeepers’ own coops.
