All the comforts of home in a well run and welcoming charming New England bed and breakfast. Breakfasts were sublime and absolutely delicious . Every morning was another breakfast that wowed our tastebuds. Perfect start to each day. The owners-Mike and Bill were very accommodating and made us feel like family. The entire place was immaculate and decor was beautiful. At breakfast- We enjoyed the view of the yard filled with colorful flowers and friendly birds in the fountain. The atmosphere is lovely and perfect for a couple with nearby restaurants and shopping for all kinds of things. We explored surrounding Maine parks, antique shops, shows and more…and loved to come back each evening to a fresh room. Bed was comfortable and snooze inducing. The fireplace was a wonderful finish to each day. Highly recommend and will return to experience the best of Maine’s hospitality at Elmere Bed and Breakfast.

The breakfasts were outstanding!!! Chatting w Bill and Michael was so much fun!! The room was beautiful but my husband was looking for place to set up his laptop w/in the room. Didn’t find one. But that was ok. The pocket door in our bathroom was extremely hard for me to slide across in order to use the facility. My husband had to close and open it each time. The inn was absolutely beautiful and was very well maintained. Kudos to Bill and Michael! Have a great winter!!

a local GEM, with a bonus property dog!

we absolutely LOVED this place! we were only in maine for two nights, and being unfamiliar with the area i was only going off on online reviews to book, but we got lucky with this place.

we were warmly greeted by the innkeepers, bill and michael, and their perfect 18lb dachshund, BENTLEY! they provided local recommendations as well as contact information for a beach shuttle, and parking lots at the beach that would likely be less crowded [they were correct!]

the outdoor area is so relaxing and lush, with a beautiful garden, a fire pit and lots of seating, we sat outside and enjoyed a lovely nap in the sun on some recliner chairs.

while the property is a bit further out from the beach and downtown ogunquit, and certainly not walkable, there ended up being plenty of paid parking lots, and the shuttle did seem to be a popular option as well.

breakfast was delicious, massive blueberry pancakes and fresh fruit. i wish we had time to stay for breakfast the second day!

i wouldn't hesitate to book here again, certainly a gem of a property and it's clear they see folks who book year after year. i already miss bentley!

Oh my gosh! What a wonderful experience we had staying at Elmere House. This was our first time at a Bed & Breakfast and we could not have picked a more perfect place! Michael and Bill were such gracious hosts. They offered suggestions on entertainment and restaurants in the area. The whole place is just beautifully kept and decorated...inside and out! Breakfast was phenomenal! Visiting with them both and the other guests while we ate was the best; it felt like you were with family. We will definitely be back next year. -Karen & Paul from NY

As repeat visitors, we've always enjoyed the highest quality of service at Elmere House. The home is beautifully decorated and well maintained, with wonderful outside areas for lounging under massive shade trees, relaxing by the firepit, and watching all of the birds make frequent visits to the water fountain and birdseed offerings. Bill and Michael are fabulous hosts and so friendly, and Bentley (their dachshund) is so sweet and welcoming!

The Elmere House Bed and Breakfast was incredible in every way! Their daily breakfasts were so amazing—so delicious! Michael and Bill, the inn keepers, worked so hard to make our stay the best. We have stayed in B and B’s all over the world, and this one comes in #1. Our suite was large and beautiful with a fireplace, four-poster bed, and gorgeous pine floors. This place definitely earns a five-star rating!

The room was small but very nicely decorated and clean. Bathtub was bit of a challenge with inner lining of the sheer curtain touching you from all sides. It’s a free standing bathtub converted into a shower. What I want to rave about is the breakfast that was served! Micheal, the host, was absolutely pleasant and made sure we were comfortable and well fed. I think I must’ve had the best blueberry pancake! Soft, pillowy, and chewy at the same time! I’m gonna remember those for awhile! Bill, the other host who’s also the cook is the best!

Maine coast

This was the second part of a honeymoon trip to New England. The house was very pretty, especially the landscaping. It was located so that we could go both north and south along the coast to explore. Mike and Bill were wonderful hosts. The breakfast was delicious, and more food than we could finish each day. The room was neat and clean, and the bed comfortable. The hosts were also very careful with their Covid precautions.
