White Cedar Inn Bed & Breakfast
It’s hard for us to believe we’re actually turning out the lights here at White Cedar Inn. Many of you have stayed here over 35 years, starting with Phil and Carla, then with Jim and Gwen, afterwards breaking us in as well. It’s a bittersweet moment for us as we say goodbye to all the lovely people we’ve met over the past 16 years. You’ve inspired us to go the distance, annoyed us enough that we made valuable changes to the business, and stuck by us through our learning curve, a recession, many (many!) prosperous years, and then COVID. Unfortunately, the pesky pandemic made us rethink our long term plans. Although retirement was already on our list of ‘things to do,’ it was just not possible to face another year that might be like 2020, so we made the decision to sell the inn.
The new owners are wonderful people, but they have a different vision for the property. Our last day here is June 17. The buyers begin renovations on June 18.
We appreciate all of the delightful, sad, and uplifting moments of your life you allowed us to share with you. Yes, we remember the graduates, the newly engaged, the 50-year anniversaries, the new babies, and, hard to believe, we were here long enough some of you came back as adults after spending your summers coming to Maine with your parents!
Now, our next adventure is calling. We are looking for a new home, but we’re not sure where we’ll end up. You can keep in touch via the phone number, snail mail or email below! We’d love to catch up if we didn’t get to see you this year.
