Ware Street Inn

I am a big, big fan of B&Bs, but I absolutely fell IN LOVE with this one. The Ware Street Inn is located on a quiet street in Lewiston, ME, just across from Bates College. Jan and Mike, the innkeepers, had kindly reserved the entire inn for our family, though, since we were all coming in from out of town for a wedding. They live on the property, with Jan running the day-​to-​day operations of the inn, and Mike doing general upkeep. Jan was constantly accompanied by two adorable (adorable!!!) shih tzus, Max and Sadie, with big buggy eyes and saucy little personalities.
We stayed in Daisy’s room (
), which was a bright yellow and had a lovely view of the gardens and large plush lawn out back. The bathroom had a variety of soaps and shampoos for us to try out, and I think the bathroom alone was larger than my first apartment. There were four (or five?) other bedrooms with us on the top floor, some with their own bathrooms, and other sharing a bathroom on the hall. All of them had gorgeous views of the grounds, and if I remember correctly, Juliet’s room had a little balcony.
Jan woke up obscenely early to fix us breakfast, and even gave us options the night before — blueberry pancakes, homemade scones, fancy omelettes. Jan was also incredible in helping us plan day outings with the extended family, and just generally making us feel welcome!
