Puffin Inn in Ogunquit, Maine









A charming country inn offering a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere on the Maine Coast. The name Puffin may refer to the fuzzy down or to the puffed out appearance of the adult's belly, however, the most outstanding feature of the Puffin is its multi-colored bill. This bird is found off the coast of Maine and ranges into the North Atlantic and western Europe. It spends its winters at sea. The Williams family, owns and operates the Puffin Inn. Since they make their home at the Inn, you can expect individual attention and special personal touches to make your stay a pleasant one. Upon arrival you are greeted by a staff member of the Puffin Inn, and personally shown to your room.
The Inn has eight bright, immaculate, comfortable rooms, all with private baths. The Carriage House, a separate building, has two large rooms (may be adjoined) each consisting of two double beds, full bath, a sitting area, and an outside deck. Once you are settled, you can plan your day's activities, whether it's sightseeing, walking along the "Famous Marginal Way", shopping in nearby boutiques, village shoppes, and outlets, beaching, antiquing or whatever delights you. In the morning, awake to aromas of a bountiful breakfast served in the cozy enclosed porch. Ride on one of Ogunquit's famous trolleys to various points of interest or take a short stroll to the center of the village.
A variety of restaurants to please all palates await you, as does our famous Maine lobster. Minutes away are golf, tennis, bicycling and horseback riding. Plan a romantic cruise at dusk along the shoreline. Explore our village including Ogunquit's famous Marginal Way, a one-mile cliff walk, and Perkins Cove. Both have unforgettable panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean - sure to be a photographer's dream.

Please note, the new innkeepers are Tim and Michele!
