PineCrest Inn 91 South Street, Gorham, ME 04038

"My husband and I stayed here for two days on Veteran's Day weekend. The owner is an ex-military wife, and all the customers that weekend were vets. We stayed in the Brook Bridge room and would gladly do so again. The room is gorgeous and spacious, with an entryway with a desk and a door to the garden area, followed by the bedroom and bath. The bed was a king size and the mattress very comfortable. The bath had plenty of hot water. Though we brought our own toiletries, they had the usual things in the room (shampoo, conditioner, soap, cotton puffs, Q-tips), plus bath salt. There is a Keurig coffee maker in the room with supplies for coffee. If you want something special, bring some K-cups along. The owner is congenial and makes you feel right at home…a real hostess. There are cookies and soda in the registration area, plus a microwave, a shared (among all the guests) mini fridge, and an electric kettle and teas. I brought some packets of hot chocolate and made it there in the morning. The breakfast is excellent. Remember, it's a bed and breakfast, so the owner is making the same breakfast for everyone, save food-isms. We had a breakfast sandwich the first morning (poached eggs, cheese (Gouda, I believe, but I could be wrong), spinach leaves, tomato, roasted English muffins...served with fresh fruit and grilled pineapple. The fresh fruit was originally supposed to include something I was allergic to, so the owner left out that ingredient for everyone to avoid cross-contamination. The second morning was French toast with poached pears and fresh blueberries. She doesn't put milk out, since most people don't drink it for breakfast these days, but ask if you want it. She'll pour you a glass! The first night we were there, my husband ordered up a couple of surprises: flowers in the room (they were lovely!) and a meat and cheese plate that was wonderful. There were three types of cheese, one meat, a hot pepper jelly, two types of crackers, and fresh seedless grapes. The jelly was so good, I asked for the name so I could buy some more for my husband. I also purchased a cookbook there, and it has some great recipes in it. The only negative I had about the place was that the site said there was a DVD player in the rooms, so I brought along some movies to watch with my husband in the evening. It turns out there was no DVD player, but they do have extensive cable, so we still had something to watch when we wanted to relax in the room."

"We had a family wedding in Maine this past weekend and my family and I decided to try the Pinecrest Inn Bed and Breakfast for our stay. We reserved 5 of the 6 rooms for a two night stay. Everything was really well done. The rooms were spotless, the inn keeper was warm and welcoming and the breakfast both days was amazing! We chatted together in the common room each evening and helped our selves to drinks from the common fridge. The inn was quiet and well decorated. We will definitely be back if we find ourselves in this part of Maine again!"

"On a recent 6 day conference trip to Maine, I had the privilege of staying at the PineCrest Inn and it was fantastic! Rather than stay at a chain hotel, I was able to immerse myself in the quaint town of Gorham and stay at this gorgeous Inn. Clean, updated rooms with top of the line linens, combined with great breakfasts and friendly recommendations from Innkeeper Kathy made this trip amazing. I hated to leave! I highly recommend and can't wait until my return trip."

"The Pine Crest Inn is a beautiful Bed and Breakfast! Our room, the Gorham, was spacious, clean and had lots of amenities. Our hostess, Kathy, was very gracious and a good cook! We will definitely stay here again when we visit Maine."

"Such a hidden Gem! We started our Maine trip at the Pine Crest Inn and we were not disappointed! Kathy’s place is very clean, rooms are spacious, and her breakfast is delicious. One of the best bed and breakfast we have stayed in. Will definitely stop by here again on our next trip to Maine! Thank you again Kathy for being a wonderful Hostess. Josie and John"
