The Craignair Inn and the Causeway Restaurant

The Craignair Inn & Causeway Restaurant, nestled on the oceanfront in Spruce Head, Maine, is a charming seaside retreat housed in a historic 1928 clapboard building. With just 16 guest rooms across two structures—including a pet- and family‑friendly “Vestry” building—the inn offers a peaceful, locally rooted experience with most rooms boasting private en‑suite bathrooms, decks, and ocean views. Guests wake to a made‑to‑order homestyle breakfast featuring vegetarian, vegan, or healthy options, served with locally roasted coffee and Maine ingredients.

The on‑site Causeway Restaurant brings coastal cuisine to life with sustainably sourced American and seafood dishes, including vegan entrées and house‑made desserts. With its scenic waterfront deck and emphasis on fresh, regional ingredients, the restaurant has evolved into a destination dining spot under Chef Gil Plaster, serving everything from oysters and lobster bisque to vegan “crab” cakes, filet mignon, halibut, lamb, and vegetarian options—all in a relaxed, refined atmosphere
