Snow Squall Bed & Breakfast

Mel and Paul were the perfect hosts during our recent stay at the Snow Squal B&B in September 2014. They had some fantastic suggestions for the area, as well as some great places to eat, considering Paul’s chef background, he was right! We had some good eats in the area! Mel has a yoga studio and there was an awesome yoga workshop that I attended! It was fantastic with a well-​known instructor up from Boston to conduct the workshop.
The room and breakfasts were awesome. Very cozy, clean and comfy rooms and on the grounds is a pergola to sit in the evening, it was a great place to have a glass or two of wine, to wind down from a day of hiking.
Definitely recommend and if we ever make our way back to Maine, will definitely try to come back to their place.

We loved Snow Squall so much. For me a great B&B needs to do a few things well, but have some little thing that is kind of unique. The room was comfortable, the hosts super-​genial, and the breakfast was tremendous — one of the best we had in Maine, actually. The husband is a former chef, and the wife teaches yoga classes and does massage.
Perhaps the most surprising part is the price. I’d expect to pay twice what we did. I’d go back in a second, and if I had a friend visiting Maine, would not let them go until I saw an email confirming their stay at Snow Squall.

I absolutely love this place, I really only have two criticisms: the beds/​pillows were far too firm for my liking and I had a hard time getting to sleep, and I would have preferred more than one hot prepared breakfast option.
After doing a lot of research I ended up with Snow Squall because it looked like the perfect combination of price and quality and I believe that’s exactly what it turned out to be. Prices are listed on their website and in my research I could find no deals on travel sites so what is listed is what you’ll be getting your room for (still a good deal).
The exterior and interior of the Snow Squall is absolutely beautiful with attention paid to every detail, I can’t get over how immaculately clean and gorgeous this place is. Paul (the co-​owner/​chef) was a true gentleman, he was very kind without being over the top and was a absolute pleasure to deal with. He’s also an amazing chef and made the most amazing breakfast of pancakes with a berry sauce w/​fresh berries as well as ham/​scallion/​gruyère scones. The pancakes (though perfect) were only only about 5″ and you only got 2, thankfully Paul had set up a table with cereals, scones, yogurt, fruit, and juice. Again it would have been nice to have a second option, maybe something with eggs but I didn’t leave the kitchen hungry and the food was awesome. The dining area was set up with a number of tables and chairs so you didn’t have to sit with strangers. In fact you didn’t need to interact with any guests or feel as though you were in some sort of hostel at all, just a very comfortable big house with plenty of privacy and hospitality.
The B&B had a couple of very comfortable living rooms which I wish I had taken advantage of as well as a couple of very cute and friendly cats. The rooms are not equipped with TVs and the room I had (the Flying Eagle) had a stall type shower which was alright but bigger would have been ideal.
Snow Squall is located right on Route 1, a fairly major road in the area, although it’s not that noisy you won’t get absolute silence if that’s what you’re after. Personally coming from NYC I hate absolute silence and I need a passing car every once in a while so this wasn’t an issue. Also the town of Wiscasset is very tiny so if you want a bunch to do you’ll have to drive 20 or so minutes to Boothbay Harbor down the way (also not really a hassle whatsoever).
All in all Snow Squall and Paul were both very charming and it’s a really nice place to visit.

I came as a solo traveler on a slow week in late November. There was only one other room occupied, which made the place very quiet. I loved it. My room had a wood fireplace which they put a quick-​lite log in for me every evening.
The owners were friendly enough, I tend to like solitude when I am on vacation and they gave me just enough attention to make me feel welcome, but not to intrude.
I would definitely stay again and would recommend it to others.
And I know you want to know… how was the breakfast. Very good and creative. I definitely am for B&B’s that don’t just do the good old fashion egg bake.
