Inns Serving Thanksgiving Dinner

Undoubtedly one of the most delicious holidays of the year, Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on all of life’s many blessings, make new memories with family and friends, and indulge on some of the classics: turkey, ham, potatoes and gravy. Not wanting to cook this year? Or wanting to create a new tradition? These five inns with restaurants are all inviting guests to their table for a Thanksgiving feast.


Hartstone Inn & Hideaway, Camden, ME

The Hartstone Inn has been serving a five-course Thanksgiving dinner for 16 years. Innkeeper Meghan Small’s favorite part of Thanksgiving is the fall decor and the family feel from all of the repeat guests and delicious aromas that come from the kitchen. The turkey entree and pumpkin souffle are on the menu every year but appetizers and side dishes change from year to year with not-so-traditional delights like Maine crab and butternut squash cake.

Thanksgiving Menu

Course 1: Maine crab and butternut squash cake with a vermouth beurre blanc Course 2: Shaved brussel sprout salad with pecans and dried cranberries Course 3: Sweet potato, rutabaga and green apple soup with a maple cream Course 4: Rosemary-roasted turkey with an apple-sausage stuffing and scallion smashed potatoes Course 5: Pumpkin soufflé with a spiced crème anglaise
