We take environmental stewardship seriously, which is why we are so proud of our certification by the state of Maine as an “Environmental Leader” in Hospitality. We care deeply about our planet and are taking pro-active measures to save energy to minimize our collective carbon footprint. Visitors to Maine can do your part by seeking out eco-friendly businesses and Maine green lodging accommodations.
As a certified “Environmental Leader” we implement sustainable practices to reduce our environmental impact every day. We have adopted and posted an environmental policy, serve local food, grow our own herbs and vegetables, use non-toxic chemicals for landscaping, installed energy-efficient equipment, and educate patrons about the facility’s green initiatives. 
Other green practices include:
Using all florescent and LED lighting
Allowing guests to use their towels and/or sheets for more than one day before being laundered (Using the same towels and sheets for a three night stay can save more than 50% of a hotel’s laundry emissions)

Using Eco-friendly cleaning products that are healthier for the environment
Using recycled products when available
Using refillable toiletry dispensers
Using timed thermostats
Keeping the temperature cooler in hallways
Turning down heating / air conditioning in non-occupied rooms
Using energy-efficient heating and cooling systems
Recycling waste
It’s a good beginning but we’re continuing to strive to go beyond ‘best practices’ to employ more zero waste strategies.
