The Jeweled Turret Inn
Bed and Breakfast

This Belfast Maine Bed and Breakfast, called The Jeweled Turret Inn, offers unique New England Lodging -- a perfect vacation getaway on Mid Coast Maine's Penobscot Bay.

Exquisitely turreted, columned and, gabled, surrounded by bushes and many flowers, The Jeweled Turret Inn was built as a single family home in 1898. The name of the inn is derived from the grand oak stairway which spirals up a round turret with stained and leaded glass panels and jewel-like embellishments. This grand lady of the Victorian period possesses a beautifully restored interior with beautiful oak, maple, fir and pine woodwork.

The Jeweled Turret offers four Victorian, antique-filled parlors and a formal oak-paneled Dining Room in which to indulge. Seven luxury guest chambers, each elegantly decorated and named after a precious gem stone. Immerse yourself in private en-suite charming guest baths, featuring the inn's fine English Spa Therapy amenity line. Step back in time with romantic iron and brass and four-poster beds, antiques, rich wallpapers, rugs, lace curtains, and beautiful woodwork throughout. Experience a Victorian columned fireplace, a birds-eye maple bathroom with claw-footed bath tub, a marble bathroom with whirlpool tub, or a huge cannon-ball four-poster bed in a turret room; all this and more awaits you.

Mornings welcome you with early gourmet coffee and teas. Each day brings different delights from fresh fruits, scones and pastries to house specialties such as German pancakes, Sourdough Gingerbread Waffles, or cherry Clafouti. Iced tea and lemonade is waiting to refresh you on the veranda during summer time, while during cooler months tea and hot cocoa will warm you after a long journey. Evening Social Hour is popular, with music, cheese and crackers and Sherry from 5:30 to 6:30 P.M.

Get away from the stress of daily life and indulge yourself in elegant comfort on the coast of Maine at The Jeweled Turret Inn, the jewel of Belfast.
