I loved the Craignair Inn, and walking the trails on Clark Island. It was quiet once the group of very loud women left. The food was spectacular, as was my room, with water views out of all three windows. The owners, and all the staff were extremely friendly, and helpful. I would definitely go back!

We had the most wonderful stay here at the Craignair Inn. From the moment we arrived we were met with incredible hospitality. We had our dog with us and the Inn went above and beyond to make her stay wonderful as well. There were so many touches that made us all feel included, like the vegan food options, the little library of books, and the art on display! Truly a beautiful property and we can’t wait to return!

Hidden Gem: Craignair Inn and Restaurant
The Inn is truly a hidden gem. We only stayed 2 nights, wish we could have stayed much longer! Even though we are amidst pandemic, Greg and Lauren have done an amazing job to make you feel safe and welcomed. The property is well situated, short walk to what seemed like private beach/cove - lovely! The Inn is not fancy, but rather a throw back to earlier, simpler times - Greg prepared a bonfire for us In the evening while we chatted, sampled his hand-crafted cocktails (yum), and shared some laughs. Great gourmet breakfasts; however we missed the restaurant opening by a week :(( I would certainly stay at the Craignair again and look forward to sampling some of Lauren’s homemade ice cream next time! Thank-you!

This is a gem of an inn. I arrived late, but was the only one staying there that night. Greg moved me to a larger room looking over the water. If I am ever in Maine again, I would consider the Craignair! It was a truly wonderful stay with great hosts.

Our stay at this charming inn was wonderful! We stayed in the St. George room which gave us great views of the peninsula. The room and bathroom were extremely clean. The owners made themselves available to answer questions as well as give recommendations for things to do, restaurants, etc. Sadly the restaurant was closed for the season so we couldn't enjoy dinner there but breakfast was delicious with several entrees and sides to choose from. The owners, Greg and Lauren, are a lovely couple and we hope their run as innkeepers is a long, profitable and happy one.
