Yardarm Motel

The Yardarm Motel is a vintage, roadside motel, built in 1951 by artists from New York. This quaint property focuses on providing a great base from which guests can explore all that Mid-Coast and Downeast regions have to offer. With Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Blue Hill, Camden, Castine, Ellsworth, Lincolnville and more all within about an hour’s drive from the Yardarm, there is plenty to keep busy. And Searsport itself offers history, hiking and more.
The 18 motel rooms at Yardarm feature a variety of room types, ranging from cozy, budget-friendly rooms with one double bed...to larger rooms with two or three beds. The owner’s house has 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, double parlors, dining room, kitchen with induction range and dishwasher and a two-sided wood burning fireplace between a parlor and the dining room, plus a large front and side porch. There is even a separate room with exterior access and parking that would be perfect for a retail space. The barn is original and unfinished, currently used for storage. There are 38 acres of land, perfect for expansion!
