Our family’s stay at Captain Sweetser’s Inn was wonderful. We were kindly welcomed upon arrival and given a tour of the historic mansion. Our room was immaculately clean, the beds comfortable, and the breakfast delicious. Our 13-year-old still raves about the breakfast. And the view of the bay from the beautifully maintained property grounds is excellent.

Beautifully renovated and decorated to its original era. Very nice large room with private bathroom. Excellent breakfast. Warm welcome upon arrival with lots of historical facts shared which was really interesting. Other than creaky bed frame, everything was perfect. We loved staying here and will go back!
