Fall Weekend Getaway

An October 2004 trip to Greenville by chefsue

Quote: New England's best-kept secret is Greenville, Maine, at the base of Moosehead Lake. The area is a four-season destination. We stayed at the Greenville Inn, which has everything: a yummy breakfast; fabulous views; a superb restaurant; suites, rooms, and cottages; and an amazingly historical charm.

The Greenville Inn at Moosehead Lake is an exceptional inn that has everything from luxury suites and charming rooms filled with antiques to English cottages. The main building is a true historical gem, having been built in 1885 by a lumber baron. The hand-carved woodwork is amazing and well cared for. The breakfast was a full buffet with many delicious choices. The views were spectacular, and the innkeepers warm and friendly. A lovely large porch with many wicker chairs was enjoyed before dinner. The restaurant was one of the best we have enjoyed both in food quality and atmosphere.
