The Elizabeth Inn and Restaurant

Located right on Main Street in Bethel, The Elizabeth Inn and Restaurant is a cute, well-styled spot that’s perfect if you like a more independent stay. It’s not a high-end “fancy” place, but the rooms are clean, air-conditioned, and the beds are remarkably comfortable. Guests rave about the on-site dining—especially the four-course dinners that some say are among the best in Maine. You’ll get a helpful manual full of local Bethel tips upon arrival, too. It’s a great home base for exploring nearby gems like Grafton Notch State Park or hitting the slopes at Sunday River. If you’re looking for a cozy place where you can do your own thing while eating incredibly well, this is it.
