Fodor's Expert Review Norumbega Inn

This welcoming B&B is one of the most photographed pieces of real estate in Maine, and once you get a look at its castlelike facade, you'll understand why. Built in 1886 by local businessman Joseph Stearns, who spent a year visiting the castles of Europe before building his own, it is now an elegantly appointed luxury inn with unique rooms (one of which allows you to essentially sleep in a library) boasting fabulous ocean views, soaking tubs, marble bathrooms, luxe bedding and amenities, and one of the state's warmest accommodation experiences.
