Charming stay.
The cabin we were in was very charming. The view from our front door was amazing. Staff and everyone were so very friendly. Our stay was for a week, and it was very comfortable and enjoyable. If we ever return to the area, we will definitely stay at the Colonial Gables.

Excellent 1 night stay.
We were in Room 61 of the motel. Parked right at door. As seniors, we found this very convenient to get all the luggage into the room in just a few steps. Room was not huge but plenty roomy. Check in was quick and John was very friendly and offered excellent suggestions for dinner in Belfast. Perfect place for an overnight stay between Portland PWM and Bar Harbor. Arrived at 7 pm after 2 hour drive from airport. Excellent stay all around. We highly recommend.

Enjoyed our stay
The room was a good size, very clean and the curtains and bedspread were beautiful. There was a good sized fridge and coffee maker.
There were a number of dogs but it was quiet. The beach is nice and we had a nice view from the patio.
It’s close to downtown Belfast.

Great spot
Beautiful stay. Great views. Lovely space. Pillows were too big and fluffy for me. Sleep wasn't great, not sure if it was my family or the bed itself. Would definitely give it another try.
