My hubby and I were at Old Saco Inn for his 60th birthday celebration. The inn and it's grounds were really beautiful. Bruce and Jon were welcoming hosts, and our room had a great view of the gorgeous lawn.
Our breakfasts were diverse, creative, and downright yummy. We had two dinners..both excellent.
We felt "at home' during our stay, and would return in a snap!

The Old Saco Inn is special, no doubt about it. 7 miles outside of Fryeburg, in a peaceful setting with hosts, Bruce and Jon going out of their way to make everyone feel at home and able to RELAX, I went with friends for a celebration and we barbequed the first night we arrived, eating in a screened porch (Maine is buggy in June but the property is sprayed and all of the rooms are screened) and then joining our hosts and their friends for marsh mellow roasting around a roaring campfire. Jon makes fantastic breakfasts! Not to be missed...Dinner is served Thursday-Saturday and the menu looked wonderful which we perused in their cosy bar. Free use of kayaks for a lark down the river at the bottom of the property which is set well back from the road.

We stayed for three nights in the cleverly converted two horse stall part of the carriage house. It was roomy and delightful. The two new proprietors made this a wonderful time, from giving us tips on what to see in the area to making original cocktails (one they named after me!). The food was delicious and served beautifully in their large but cozy dining room. The view of the mountains and a walk on the property seeing the river, white birches and pines, fiddle head ferns and purple wood violets was a treat as was getting to know their dog Izzy. However, the best part was meeting up for dinner with a close high school friend after 48 years! The dinner they prepared for us was amazing and made the memorable event even more special.
