Winter/Spring in Rockland

Tranquility, Romance and Luxury abound during the quiet season on the coast of Maine…

Rockland, a coastal Maine village at the entry point to Penobscot Bay, is located in the geographic center of midcoast Maine which makes it easy to call home while you daytrip to LL Bean or Acadia National Park and every point in between! Rockland has been named the “Lobster Capital of Maine” and has over 14 lighthouses within a short drive. We also boast over 140 homes listed in the National Registry of Historic Places. The Berry Manor Inn, the Captain Lindsey Inn and the LimeRock Inn, premier members of the Historic Inns of Rockland, represent the three most luxurious bed and breakfast accommodations in the Rockland area. Each of the three inns offers modern amenities blended impeccably with the appointments of their magnificent historic buildings. Fireplaces, high-speed internet access, private baths, whirlpool tubs, beds draped with the finest linens and a sumptuous breakfast fare that will leave you energized for all the day has in store for you. These are just a few of the luxurious amenities we offer you as our guest.

When the snow starts to fall, the coast of Maine is transformed into a Currier and Ives setting reminiscent of a bygone era. Take a leisurely stroll down Main Street, check out the shops, and sip an espresso or hot chocolate. Rockland’s Festival of Lights Celebration gets the holiday season underway on Thanksgiving weekend. There’s a parade on Main Street, on-going specials in our local shops and a Historic House Tour featuring the Historic Inns of Rockland. Come and see a traditional small-town celebration!

As the holiday season concludes, there’s still plenty to do in Rockland. The Historic Inns of Rockland commemorate National Pie Day with an annual event entitled Pies on Parade. There are plenty of other indoor activities to fill your day, too. Check out one of our world-class museums and galleries or just enjoy a quiet dinner at one of our renowned restaurants.

For those who enjoy the outdoors in winter, Rockland has plenty to offer. Cross-country and downhill skiing, snowshoeing and tubing are just minutes away at The Camden Snow Bowl ski area where the International Toboggan races are hosted in February each year. Ice fishing, cross country skiing, ice skating and ice sailing are also easily accessible in the mid-coast region. You can even improve your skills with a game of indoor tennis.
