Spruce Head, Maine hotel rooms at the Independent

"What a gorgeous property. The most picturesque location. Fantastic staff. Incredibly dog friendly and so welcoming to our pup, Ivy. Delicious breakfast with amazing homemade granola, local coffee and hot selections too. 100% recommend in every way!!"

"Was a great hotel with excellent amenities! Staff is very friendly and accommodating! "

"The staff were amazing!"

"No TVs, no alarm clocks, no microwaves, no mini fridge = No superfluous stuff cluttering up the room with noise and light! Light, in fact, was my only real issue because it's an old inn and the door to our room had a gap at the top so when the motion sensor hall light came on (and stayed on for a long time) after anyone came upstairs, it was pretty bright. However, I pack a sleep mask because most places have an obnoxious amount of tech-related lights, so not a big deal. Still, this was by far the coziest, quietest, comfiest place we've stayed maybe ever. LOVED the spectacular view from our room (St George) and from the dining area. REALLY LOVED that we could walk across the causeway and take in the surroundings/stretch our legs without needing a car. Came at the wrong time of year to have dinner there, but greatly appreciated that the website and room guides listed lots of other options (mostly in Rockland, which is an easy trip with other fun stops along the way.) Breakfast was lovely. I've never liked grits in my life, but lemon and thyme do something magical for them. And the Craignair did something magical for us. I miss it already! THANK YOU!! "

"Unique aspect was river flowed beneath hotel. Excellent view from room window."
