Visit a New England Bucket List Item: The Cliff House in Maine

Steve Duffy READ TIME: 3 MIN.

Cliff House, the iconic 4-star resort, is situated on 70 plush green acres and overlooks the ocean. Ogunquit, a well-known LGBTQ+ friendly town, is just three miles north. When visiting, it is a quick trip to visit the Ogunquit Art Museum, the Ogunquit Playhouse, the beach, and the numerous LGBTQ+ clubs and venues.

The resort is a year round destination overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. In Maine, fall is simply beautiful. Take advantage of this by curling up near one of the many fireplaces or take a dip in the hot tub. The property also features two pools, which are open year round.

The various rooms and suites look out onto the water, which can be further enjoyed on adjoining private terraces. The rooms are tastefully decorated; a mix of modern décor and maritime elements ensure optimum relaxation. The bathrooms are large and spacious, featuring tiled walk-in showers. Most importantly, the bed provides an ultra comfortable place to relax or cuddle up with a loved one.

The Cliff House has two excellent restaurants for casual year-round dining: The Tiller, and Nubb's Lobster Shack. Each establishment offers a variety of choices to suit everyone's palate. The brunch menu at The Tiller is incredible. The menu is seasonal, and many of the ingredients are locally sourced. In the summer, you can enjoy your meal outside with stunning views at The Cove Bar & Grille or The Terrace.

For a truly fantastic dining experience, take the short drive to Kennebunkport and dine at The White Barn Inn. The rustic yet elegant atmosphere, coupled with impeccable service, will make you feel like royalty. Live piano music –which is played every night –enhances the ambiance even more. From appetizer to dessert, each dish is exquisite and a true culinary experience.
