The Chapman Inn, Bethel

We liked visiting with other guests in the homey, old-fashioned parlor, complete with a fluffy yellow cat. Breakfast the next morning was unbelievably good. I was a little disappointed in our room, which was accessed through the back porch by climbing narrow stairs covered with stained beige carpeting. (To be fair, we saw other rooms, and they were much nicer for the same price. So just be sure to ask for a room accessed through the parlor. One of these has a private bath.) Also, if you are superstitious, be warned. Another guest showed me a recent newspaper article featuring the Chapman Inn as a "certified haunted house", with most activity occurring in rooms seven and nine. Of course, we were staying in nine. However, nothing happened but a good night's sleep followed by as good a breakfast as I've ever had.

Our recent visit to Bethal, Maine brought us to the Chapmen Inn over graduation weekend in 2007. The Inn is quaint and clean with a family friendly atmosphere. Mike ( a belgiem sheep dog) who served as the primary head of the household& Molly (a big fluff ball) served as the Lady of the house who made sure all the guest were comfortable. However the help also were very welcoming. Fred & Carolyn helped guide our family on the town of Bethal and the local knowledge. Breakfest was a wonderful treat. Next time we are staying longer. Can't beat the value.

The Chapman Inn was the best bed and breakfast that my fiance' and I have stayed at! The breakfast was awesome! The owners Fred and Sandra made you feel completely at home and make you relax! Would highly recommend! Will definately return again!
