Circa 1903. Gracing the Lakes and Mountains Region only forty miles from Portland, in the heart of Western Maine, Noble House sits poised above scenic Highland Lake in the town of Bridgton. This historic Victorian estate is surrounded by landscaped lawns, stone walls, towering oaks and a pine grove. Enjoy fresh mountain air from a screened porch. Soak in a Jacuzzi tub before sleeping on luxurious linens in an antique-furnished guest bedroom or lavish suite. Wake up to coffee on the veranda then savor breakfast in the always-cheery breakfast room before skiing at Shawnee Peak, hiking, bicycling, golfing or antiquing. Take out the canoe or kayak to explore the lake or take a nap in the hammock. At the end of the day, return to the inn and indulge in the Famous Bottomless Cookie Jar.

We just came back from getting married at this B&B and they were nothing but wonderful! The inn and rooms are beautifully decorated. Julie and Rick are great hosts with a beautiful well trained dog. The only thing I didn't like was that there was no wifi where our room was but I had it on my phone so no big deal. It is in the common area free of charge however. If the weather was nicer, I wouldn't have even noticed as we would have been diving into the lake! They offer a canoe to use when it's nice outside. And breakfast in the morning is amazing!! Julie and Rick sure know how to make a delicious breakfast. This was our first stay there and certainly not our last! It's a truly better experience than any hotel can give you - mike and cassie
