Welcome to The Jeweled Turret Inn Bed and Breakfast!

The Jeweled Turret Inn Bed and Breakfast of Belfast, Maine, is exquisitely turreted, columned, and gabled, surrounded by bushes and many flowers. The Inn, circa 1898, is listed as a "Landmark" on The National Register of Historic Places.

The Victorian Era awaits you inside...

The name of The Jeweled Turret Inn Bed and Breakfast is derived from the spiraling grand staircase, which is encased in a round turret with stained and leaded glass windows and jewel-like embellishments. Guestrooms are on the first and second floors.

This grand lady of the Victorian period possesses a beautifully restored interior furnished in antiques, Persian rugs, windows swathed in lace, and ornate woodwork of oak, maple, pine, and fir. Some exciting features of the mansion include: 4 parlors luxuriously decorated, and 4 unique fireplaces - including the Den's fireplace built of rocks and semi-precious stones from every state in the Union. This turreted room has a dark wood-beamed ceiling, and pine-framed rattan wainscoting that enhances the maple floors. Two lovely verandas with porch swing and wicker furniture overlook the peaceful Historic District for quieter moments.

The 7 guestrooms invite you to indulge in your romantic surroundings. With 4-poster and scrolled-iron beds, beautiful linens, antique furnishing, and other treasures from Victorian days, they are wonderfully nostalgic hideaways from today's cares. Enjoy delicious gourmet breakfasts, afternoon refreshments, and social hour from 5:30-6:30 p.m. - with crackers, cheese, and sherry.

Spend peaceful nights with us ... You'll snuggle beneath fluffy comforters and soft ruffles ... Then begin each day with a very special breakfast as the sun streams through the jeweled-glass windows in the turret that gave the inn its name.


Description of Belfast Area:

Belfast is situated along beautiful Penobscot Bay, mid-coast Maine. Settled in 1770, Belfast's past prosperity in fishing, shipbuilding, commerce, and industry has left a legacy of fine Greek and Gothic revivals, Italianates, Capes, Mansards, and Queen Annes. The Historic District is huge, and spans from the beautiful tree-lined residential area to our historically intact Main Street commercial district overlooking the harbor.


Attractions in or near Belfast:

Belfast, ME, is perfectly located for day trips up and down the coast. You'll find windjammer cruises, ferryboat rides to islands, a maritime museum, and 4 state parks all within an easy drive. Camden is only 20 minutes away, and it's just over an hour to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.


Recreation and Activities in or near Belfast:

Just down the hill from the inn are Belfast's intriguing shops, cozy restaurants, and coffee houses, all tucked into the fine nineteenth-century brick buildings that march up from the waterfront. There's a lot to do nearby, thanks to scenic cruises, golf, tennis, art galleries, a cornucopia of antique shops, acclaimed summer theatre, concerts, festivals, lobster picnics, train excursions, museums, and great places to hike and swim.

The innkeepers are lighthouse aficionados. If you enjoy searching out new lighthouses, there are numerous ones in the area. Just ask the innkeepers to point you in the right direction. Let us plan your day excursions while you enjoy your stay at The Jeweled Turret Inn Bed and Breakfast.

During the summer and autumn, festivals are scheduled for just about every weekend, and many during the week. In July, we have a wonderful 4th of July celebration, Arts In The Park, Belfast Garden Tour, and of course the famous Belfast Bay Festival! Don't miss the beautiful fall foliage on the coast. Come to the Church Street Festival the first weekend of October. The foliage season on the coast is absolutely gorgeous through October, and so is the weather!

Be sure to enjoy Belfast's "Old Fashioned Christmas", and New Year's by the Bay - a wonderful festival for all.

Explore as much as you'd like, or just spend time relaxing in the parlors or on our shady verandas.
