About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We're Annie and Alicia, owners of the Tipsy Butler B&B in Newcastle, Maine. Our shared experiences in sailing, outdoor education, marine science and nonprofit leadership have all shaped our approach to hospitality (and life!). And our dreams of owning a business together came true when we purchased the Tipsy Butler in March of 2026. We live onsite in an apartment in the main inn building (next to the Cottage) with our 20-lb terrier/whippet mix, Hobie and our flock of chickens.

Why they chose this property

We both grew up on the coast of Maine, and we love it here! We want to connect our guests to the very best of what midcoast Maine has to offer and welcome them into the heart of our community. Damariscotta/Newcastle is a special place, and the Pemaquid peninsula offers so many opportunities to get into the outdoors, enjoy culture and the arts, eat incredible seafood, shop fantastic locally-made gifts and crafts, and build friendships that will last a lifetime.

What makes this property unique

The Cottage is a beautiful and cozy getaway, and we're so excited to share it with our guests. Cottage guests have access to all of our B&B's shared amenities like our wood-fired cedar sauna and clawfoot tub cold plunge, expansive lawns, porch and balcony, and indoor shared rooms. Walk just a few minutes into town to enjoy shops, restaurants, and access to the world-renowned Damariscotta River, home to over 12 oyster farms that produce about 70% of Maine's farmed shellfish.
