Our stay was delightful. Food delicious. Accommodations elegant and authentic. Hosts Diana and Santiago charming and accommodating, al in all a five star experience. We will return

When our son chose to attend a college in mid-coast Maine, we were excited about the opportunity to explore a new region. Our first visit, in the spring of 2008, brought us to the lovely little town of Belfast and the White House Inn. In the intervening years we've stayed at the White House several more times, and just last week took over the Inn with our extended family to celebrate Will's graduation. All I can say is that not only is the Inn itself gorgeous, but the hospitality we have enjoyed is unmatched. Diana and Sandy Rich are consummate hosts; breakfasts are unbelievable, and when we needed a home away from home, we were treated like family.
Details: the rooms are beautifully decorated, with luxurious linens and towels; each room has a flat-screen TV, and the inn's selection of DVDs kept grandchildren occupied on a rainy evening. It's located within walking distance of town, which is great, and the Riches are very helpful with information on local dining, etc. Breakfast is at your convenience, and you can either sit at the large dining room table or at a smaller table in one of the parlors. The overall experience is really more that of a lovely little boutique hotel than a B&B.
We will miss Belfast, the White House, and the Riches. But since our son has so far not made any indication that he's leaving Maine, future visits may in fact be in store.

We stayed three winter nights, and I was in the inn, reading and writing, most of the time while my husband was in meetings, so I really experienced the attentive but non-intrusive care of these hosts. Breakfasts were amazing, and lasted me through the day, and the inn itself is a beautiful historic sea captain house, lovingly restored. We will surely return.

We experienced the innkeepers as global citizens who are rightly proud of their registered heritage site. They struck the perfect balance between being accomodating and available whenever needed and not being overly intrusive or faux friendly. Their breakfast presentations displayed culinary sophistication and just plain tasted good! They proactively helped with dinner reservations (it was Valentine's Day).
The buildings are immaculate, outside and in. Furnishings are borderline museum pieces, in good taste. Rooms combine nineteenth century elegance and charm with modern amenities such as crisp flat screen TVs, a library of goodmovies to watch, and strong WiFi throughout. We enjoyed the deluxe Scrabble game, also the classical music played softly in the room with the grand piano. .
