Hotels in Maine's Mid- Coast

The most interesting lodging around Brunswick and Bath are stately B&Bs and inns that fall in with the two towns’ historic vibes. You can see individual hotel listings by going to this website's section for those towns.

In Bath, the Residence Inn By Marriott, 139 Richardson St. (tel. 207/443-9741), is great for long stays, with one- and two-room suites. The building opened in late 2015 but still feels fresh.

In Brunswick, Best Western Plus, 71 Gurnet Rd. (tel. 207/725-5251), is pet-friendly and a convenient hopping-off point for the Harpswell peninsula and islands to the south.

If you'll be camping out, we recommend Chewonki Campground (tel. 207/882-7426) it is located between Bath and Wiscasset. It occupies 50 acres overlooking a salt marsh and a confluence of lazy tidal streams. The 47 sites here are sizable and private; there’s a nicely maintained pool with a sweeping view, and kayaks and canoes are available for rent. Campsites cost from $69 to $110 per night, which is at the quite high end of the camping price scale in Maine—yet it actually might be worth it. Drive 7 miles east of Bath on U.S. Route 1; turn right on Route 144, then take the next right past the airport and follow signs to the campground.
