As the historic Spruce Point Inn resort opens for another season, Yankee Magazine editors have spotlighted the resort as an Editors’ Pick for “oceanside lodging” in Maine in their annual Travel Guide to New England (May/June 2018). The editors noted in their recommendation, “The village is a 1 ½ mile bike ride away … assuming you can tear yourself away from the view.”
Each year, the magazine selects a few dozen highlights in each of the New England states for the Editors’ Choice section. Spruce Point Inn was one of just 30 of the featured lodging, dining and attraction options in Maine. A perennial winner of Conde Nast Traveler and Down East “Best Of” recognition, this was the first time that Yankee Magazine has named the inn an Editors’ Pick.
“We are honored and delighted that Yankee Magazine has put Spruce Point in the spotlight,” said innkeeper Angelo DiGiulian. “When they stayed with us, for a story on Boothbay in 2016, we knew we had helped make some ‘oceanside memories made in Maine.’ But it’s always fun to be named as one of those ‘insiders’ tips’ – like the ones we identify for our guests.”
During the winter the inn looked closely at every detail from the guest’s perspective and made subtle improvements designed to enhance comfort and convenience. Return guests will meet a new chef at the helm of the inn’s three restaurants, Nick Krunkkala, and new menus with heavy emphasis on the locally fished, farmed and harvested.
Spruce Point Inn opened for the 2018 season on May 18. For information, visit SprucePointInn.com.
