Asticou Inn, Historic inn in Northeast Harbor, United States.
Asticou Inn is a lodging complex in Northeast Harbor that spans seven buildings, including the four-story main structure alongside separate lodges like Cranberry Lodge and Bird Bank. The compound combines traditional architecture with multiple accommodations spread across the property.
The original farmhouse on the site was built around 1820 by John Savage II and later moved to make room for the inn's construction in 1883. This transformation marked the start of hospitality operations at this location.
The name Asticou comes from the Penobscot language and refers to a boiling kettle, keeping a link to the local indigenous heritage. Visitors sense this cultural connection while exploring the grounds.
The property is currently undergoing extensive renovation work and remains closed during this period. Visitors should check opening times and availability before planning to explore the grounds.
The property features the Asticou Azalea Garden, established in 1956, which offers guests direct access to landscaped garden areas. This garden with its carefully maintained azaleas represents a distinctive element of the overall estate design.
