The Newcastle Inn feels very quintessential Maine. The rooms are comfortable, spacious, and each has its own unique charm. The inn is run by Carolyn and Liz, and they take a lot of pride in their work! About 15 minutes away from the wedding venue, it's also just a short walk from downtown Damariscotta where there are plenty of great shops and restaurants. They also offer a two-course breakfast every morning in the dining room or on their beautiful deck overlooking the Damariscotta River.

Moody's is a great option if you want an authentic Maine "up camp" experience. Moody's Diner has been a mid-coast staple for nearly 100 years, opening as a roadside diner for those traveling from Portland to Acadia National Park. The cozy, free-standing cabins sit on an open grassy hilltop just behind the diner. And while the photos online don't do them justice, they are a great option for those looking for a unique stay near the venue (about a 4-minute drive). And they're right across the street from the brewery in town, Odd Alewives.

Located just across the river from Wiscasset, Cod Cove Inn is a great option for those looking for a more typical hotel stay while still getting a taste of the Maine charm. And it's just a 20-minute drive from the venue.

Also a 20-minute drive from the venue and just down the hill from Cod Cove Inn, Sheepscot Harbour Village Resort offers a wide variety of room options, including inn-style rooms and cottages.

Recommended by Carolyn at Newcastle Inn, this is another inn with four rooms to choose from right near downtown Damariscotta.
