Most regions of Maine, from western lakes and mountains to the coast have some wonderful Bed and Breakfasts options. Maine Bed and Breakfasts were by tradition private homes or cottages which often took in people for the night and offered breakfast built-in the price of the room tariff. These transformed homes commonly have several bed rooms with a private or shared bath and common sitting and dining room areas. Maine Bed and Breakfasts can range from the traditional home cooked meal to a generous gourmet meal.
Nowadays Maine B&Bs have come to mean any lodging that offers breakfast and a room including hotels which offer breakfast included in the cost of the room.
Maine Bed and Breakfasts, differ greatly in fittings and ambiance. Some are rustic country homes, others have luxurious accommodations. Some are undersized, cozy houses while there are some that are spread out over as much as 40 acres with private Jacuzzis and fireplaces and every other conceivable luxury.
Maine is a vast tourist area and one can find scores of Maine Bed and Breakfasts in each and every district. Most Travel Departments list these Maine B&Bs choices by official tourism areas to make for an easier choice.
