The Perkins House

The Perkins House came to my attention as a referral, around the Holiday. My friend and I were doing a mini getaway for antiquing in the Bethel to Cornish, Me area, and decided on the “Carriage” room, at the Perkins House, as an extra treat for ourselves. When we arrived, the house was adorned with outside Christmas lights and figurines… and was breathtakingly beautiful. The accommodations were spacious and the entire Victorian home was decked with antiques, holiday trimmings, multiple themes and a warm and inviting ambiance. We had so much room in the Carriage House, we did not stray to explore the ‘common space’ for guests, which was also decorated with a joyful, vintage flair. Our hostess and host,Keith and Gretchen, were both welcoming and passionate about their contribution to their Inn. Breakfast was another amazing presentation, serving a tasty 5-cheese omelet with many other delectables served with it. The breakfast table was another showpiece, and as the common rooms were revealed, the entire house was an event, unto itself. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer anyone to this location. It was such a compliment to our entire trip, and was extremely reasonable and a hidden jewel.

The historic setting of the Perkins house was very fun to learn about—it has a unique history and the owners preserved it’s originality. It was decorated to the extreme with antiques and knickknacks which made it feel a bit cluttered and our bedroom was so full of things that there was not much room left to lay out our things. But the breakfast provided was delicious each morning and was very satisfying.

Very kind. Nice people. Really fun and lots of cool decorations seasonal ones all-around great place to stay. Feels like home.

Awesome place and awesome hosts...didn't even realize so many people were there until I met them for breakfast. I will definitely be looking them up again next time i'm in the area.

Absolutely wonderful experience. House is beautiful. Breakfast was amazing. Hosts were so friendly and hospitable. We will be back.

My boyfriend and I spent one night at the Perkins House and we loved it! The hosts were very welcoming and made us feel at home. The house is cozy and our room was very comfortable. We hope to be back some day.

From when you pull up, to the porch, to the house, to the garden everything is so well taken care of and clean. The owners are welcoming and have everything you need and more to make your stay perfect. I loved how each room had its own character. The coffee and breakfast were truly delicious. Thank you for your hospitality. Enjoy the food Dulce. Will be back again within the year.

Overnight in Cornish at the Perkins House, exceeded our expectations. The owners are lovely and a pleasure to converse with. Accommodations were very comfortable. The inn and the grounds are impeccable. Everything is thoughtfully decorated and fun to see. Breakfast was delicious! We will be back for sure!

A beautiful home. We have been made to feel very welcome.
