My husband & I took a few days' drive Downeast after spending some time at our cottage in Maine. Our destination in Searsport was the Penobscot Marine Museum, a treasure that must be seen by fans of all things nautical. We stayed one night with the warm & welcoming owners of the Yardarm. We loved the porch with traditional white... More

This was my second time staying at the Yardarm and it gets better each time, little improvements like better toiletries and in room WiFi. We like the location, just far enough off Rt. 1 to not be affected by traffic noise at night. The owners are very cordial and helpful, they take pride in running an old fashion Maine motel... More

We had wanted a hotel on the coast, but prices were too much, especially since we arrived late. We tried a few - all over $100.. This one was $80, including breakfast in a lovely dining room with tablecloths. Very neat, tidy and clean. A bit dated but attractive with wide tongue and groove cedar board walls. Small but adequate.... More

The owner was pleasant and offered helpful information about local eateries, laundry facility across the street, local history, etc. We loved that the room had a screen door so we could enjoy the cool fresh air of Maine during our stay.

The staff was very... More

Planned to stay in next town south, but a weekend event there had most rooms full, and for much more $$. We were so happy we found the Yardarm. Great value, quiet, and friendly people. Lovely breakfast. We'll be back. -- VT and NH sisters.

Yardarm motel was better than expected.Clean rooms, (unit #1) reasonable price,complimentary continental breakfast. My only complaint...clean the inside of the bathroom door or better yet...paint it.

Stopped there for 1 night: The wonderful: -The Innkeepers (I am guess they were the owners)! There was a chance we were going to arrive very late at night and not only did they not have a problem with that, they went out of their way to make it as easy as possible for us. They also were very very... More

This is my third time returning to the Yardarm Motel in Searsport, Maine. The last time I stayed was during the Lobster Festival in nearby Rockland. A great drive along Maine backroads and along U.S. Route 1. What a treat! Yummy lobster by day then crisp sheets by night at the Yardarm. Not to mention the great, sunny breakfast room... More
