How We’re Taking Care of You

COVID-19 Response from our DownEast Maine Lodging

Comfort, Safety, and Exceptional Service

The Blue Hill Inn has been welcoming DownEast Maine lodging guests for nearly two centuries. We have continually risen to the challenges of the day and persevered through them all, and this too will get better. Our focus has always been on our guests’ comfort, health and safety. As a small establishment, the inn is able to accommodate guests in a most hospitable, personalized manner. Innkeepers Clair and Kim Maxwell and our Assistant Innkeepers personally oversee the standards to which rooms are cleaned, breakfasts are prepared, and days of adventures are planned. This attention to every detail allows you to be assured that you will be well taken care of at the Blue Hill Inn.

Blue Hill Peninsula is perfectly located for guests to practice social distancing while enjoying outdoor adventures, whether that’s climbing Blue Hill Mountain, swimming or boating in the pristine ocean, lakes, or streams, or exploring land trust property up and down the coast.

We Have Adjusted to the New Norm

As the nation grapples with the effects of a global pandemic, the Blue Hill Inn has updated some of its policies to better accommodate the health and safety of all our guests. When making a reservation, we encourage you to call us so that we may discuss your plans and any state-wide travel restrictions, reserve the best room for you, and explain our new cancellation policy. Being a small business that relies on visitors like you, we are grateful for your support and cooperation and appreciate your help keeping everyone healthy and safe.

Cleaning Procedures

Your health and safety are important to us and we continue to be as diligent as ever in our cleaning and sanitizing processes. In an effort to provide as much peace of mind as you plan for an upcoming trip to beautiful Blue Hill, we want you to be aware of additional precautionary steps staff are taking to reduce health risks at our Maine bed and breakfast:

  1. Our staff are monitored daily to ensure they remain healthy and are free of symptoms.
  2. We regularly disinfect all surfaces apt to be touched throughout our common areas.
  3. All linens are thoroughly sanitized through the laundry process.
  4. All staff have been instructed and trained in the CDC best practices for cleaning and sanitizing.
