A Tradition of Hospitality

Established in 1881, The Lynwood Inn has welcomed generations of guests to the Maine coast. As of March 2023, the inn is proudly owned and operated by Cathy and Dan Mitchell, who continue that tradition with a hands-on, personal approach to hospitality.

Living onsite year-round, Cathy and Dan are dedicated to making every guest feel at home—whether it’s your first visit or your tenth.


Stay Any Season

Lynwood Inn offers something special all year long. Summer brings beach days, sunshine, and coastal energy, while fall offers crisp air and stunning foliage. Winter is peaceful and serene by the sea—and at The Lynwood Inn, it’s also a comfortable, reliable home base for traveling healthcare professionals, with fully furnished stays and flexible 10–26 week options. Spring rounds out the year with quiet escapes and fresh ocean breezes. We’re open year-round and offer flexible stays ranging from weekend getaways to extended visits.

Extended Stays & Winter Rentals

During the off-season, The Lynwood Inn also welcomes longer stays, including traveling healthcare professionals seeking comfortable, fully furnished accommodations.  If you’re looking for a reliable, home-like stay for 10–26 weeks, we’re happy to help—please reach out for details.
