Marathon Hôtel Grand Manan Island
This big, rambling old hotel, built by a sea captain over a century ago, sits on the hill overlooking North Head. Finding your room feels like wandering through an Escher print, the way the stairs wind and the floors slope. It’s a creaky old building with lots of character, antique furnishings, and contemporary bathrooms. Breakfasts are pampering: large helpings of delicious home cooking, like plate-size wild-blueberry pancakes. The lane to the inn is a little hard to find; the entrance is just past the old post office, a brick building on the right heading out of North Head.
