Milliken House B&B
Guests at this friendly B&B are greeted with glasses of port or sherry in a big living room sporting two fireplaces. It’s a nice welcome, and the five rooms are equally nice, done up in marble-top furnishings and outfitted with the original owner’s collection of books. (Benjamin Milliken had made a small fortune building a dock and outfitting the big ships passing in and out of this once-busy port during Eastport’s 19th-century heyday.) Expect small touches such as pillow-side chocolates and fresh flowers. All rooms feature televisions and fireplaces, something of a surprise given the low, low price. The house is located only 2 blocks from Eastport’s historic district, making it ideal for local explorations. Breakfast might run to buttermilk pancakes served with a berry sauce, crepes, or a quiche Lorraine, sided with fresh salad.
