INN AT OCEAN’S EDGE
LINCOLNVILLE, MAINE


You will be staying at the beautiful Inn at Ocean’s Edge. Perched on the shores of the Penobscot Bay between the historic port of Camden and the sandy crescent of Lincolnville Beach, The Inn at Ocean's Edge is a quintessentially Maine oceanfront hotel just minutes from Camden and Belfast. You'll find many on-site amenities you'd expect from a luxury Maine hotel. Immerse yourself in the infinity pool overlooking the ocean, explore the rocky beaches of Penobscot Bay, or stroll through the quaint coastal towns of Midcoast Maine. The Inn’s Poolhouse Spa, offers massage rooms, a cedar sauna, hot tub, and of course the heated outdoor infinity edge pool.

Start your day with locally roasted coffee, a dip in the ocean, a session in the sauna, or simply take in the fresh ocean air. After a fresh and colorful breakfast, we will head to the studio where our indigo vat awaits. Time will be allotted for hikes or shopping in the small neighboring towns.

Rooms are beautiful and private (with shared room options for a reduced rate), and the common spaces are warm and welcoming, with lots of luxurious places to sit and stitch. Most rooms accommodate one guest, but If you are attending the retreat with a friend and would like to share a room, please email us with both names. We will place you together and discuss a modified rate.
