Away From It All
Very nice property and location. It definitely had an old-school, quiet feel to it. I would've liked a small fridge and microwave in the room, instead of the one shared on the 2nd floor. Also, I didn't see, when booking, that there were stairs and no elevator. The staff were all very friendly.

We had a wonderful two night stay at the Yankee Clipper. The Inn is beautiful, and the location stunning. The property has obviously been meticulously maintained and updated. And to top it off there is a delicious made-to-order breakfast every morning. We highly recommend this beautiful Inn!

We liked that we were right on the ocean and could see the tide come in and out. Also, it was fun to watch the lobster fishermen harvest their catch. The staff was very accommodating and the breakfast was first rate. We would like to come back sometime.
