Sometimes the adventure of love comes with fast and tough challenges. Other times, it arrives on a plate! Adventure can be found in exploring new and unique inns and the foods that add to their appeal.
They call Rockland, Maine the Lobster capital of the universe. Why? Its seaport legacy goes way back to more than a century and a half ago when it was among the busiest of seaports on the East Coast. The proclivity for fresh from-the-sea Maine lobster was the impetus for the country’s largest Maine Lobster Festival held each year in Rockland for the past 67 years. And Maine lobster is the reason the Historic Inns of Rockland have created two packages offering unique adventures to enjoy the lore of the luscious lobster! Throw in a choice of three luxurious Rockland inns and Maine lighthouses too, and you’ve got everything it takes for the perfect Maine summer getaway.
Lobsters, Lighthouses & Luxury – offered throughout June.
The Historic Inns of Rockland have combined Maine’s finest sightseeing adventures into one package offered throughout the month of June. Stay two consecutive nights in June and enjoy lighthouses, lobsters and luxury at your choice of three Historic Inns of Rockland, Granite Inn, LimeRock Inn or Berry Manor Inn. Two night packages start at/are offered from $475 for single or double occupancy (prices vary depending upon dates of booking and choice of inn and room booked).
The Lobster, Lighthouse & Luxury package includes:
•Two nights luxury accommodations at your choice of Historic Inns of Rockland
• Breakfast for two each morning
• Two tickets to Maine Lighthouse Museum for a self-guided tour
