A feast prepared by Nebo Lodge will be served at the Turner Farm barn celebrating the abundant island harvest four evenings this summer.

Then guests are invited into the barn where a family-­‐style meal is served against the backdrop of the sun setting over Penobscot Bay. The prix fixe menu is comprised of farm-raised meats, vegetables and cheeses prepared by the cooks at Nebo Lodge. Dates for Turner Farm Barn Suppers: Saturday, July 13, Thursday, July 25, Thursday, August 8 & Saturday, August 17. The cost of the supper is $75/Adults and $50/Under 21.

Inn Guests Enjoy an Abbreviated Dinner Menu During Midweek Stays in June

June is a perfect time to visit Nebo Lodge before the hustle and bustle of the summer season, and now guests visiting midweek can enjoy supper from our restaurant!

In June, if you are staying at the Lodge on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, we offer an abbreviated restaurant menu served between 6:30pm and 7:30pm to inn guests only. On Sunday and Monday evenings we offer a simple dinner of our homemade pizza and salad.

Check our availability this June on our website!

Nebo Lodge Selected As 5th Best U.S. Hotel For Food Lovers By Bon Appetit Magazine!

 

Nebo Lodge  recently gained national recognition as one of the 10 Best Hotels for Food Lovers in America in Bon Appetit Magazine’s May issue. Bon Appetit, one of America’s most notable food and entertaining magazines, placed Nebo Lodge 5^th nationwide on the list released this month. The magazine cited the friendly and unique atmosphere, and innovative dishes prepared with locally sourced vegetables, meats, and cheeses. The list of hotels is based on outstanding food and drinks, as well as being destinations that Bon Appétit editors just love to go to, and want to return to again and again.

It may come as a surprise to some that a small island inn and restaurant located twelve miles off the coast of Maine gained this distinguished ranking. However, to the many visitors who have made the trip to Nebo Lodge to dine and stay this acknowledgement of exceptional food and hospitality fits the bill perfectly.  Housed in a beautiful historic inn overlooking the busy Fox Island Thoroughfare, the intimate restaurant and nine charming guest rooms make for a unique travel experience.

The restaurant works closely with its partner business, Turner Farm, both of which are owned by longtime island resident Chellie Pingree and husband Donald Sussman, as well as other local farmers and fisherman to serve the freshest food the island has to offer. North Haven oysters, lobsters, beef, pork, poultry, goat cheese, and vegetables are the focus of the seasonally inspired menu.

The restaurant is not only innovative in the food it prepares, but also in making itself accessible to the wider midcoast population. July-September round-trip dinner cruises are offered from Rockland harbor, so guests from the mainland can dine on the island and return home the same evening. To spice up the experience and take advantage of the beauty of North Haven, Nebo Lodge also hosts special Barn Suppers at Turner Farm, where a family-style meal is served against the backdrop of the sun setting over Penobscot Bay.

These recent accolades from Bon Appetit are especially exciting given that Nebo Lodge was only reopened seven years ago, after spending nearly five decades as a private residence. “When we reopened Nebo in 2005, we hoped to create a vibrant island business. This honor from Bon Appetit goes beyond our wildest dreams. I am so proud of our amazing staff who worked so hard to make Nebo an exceptional place to visit and eat.  Introducing new people to the beauty of the island and serving great food grown on North Haven is as fulfilling as creating a gathering place for island friends and families, who remain the cornerstones of our business.” –Chellie Pingree, Owner.

Nebo Lodge is open May through October. The restaurant serves dinner Friday and Saturday evening in May, June, and October; Monday-Saturday in July and August; and Thursday-Saturday in September.  Visit www.nebolodge.com or call 207.867.2007 for reservations or more information about round-trip dinner cruises to the island, Barn Suppers and other special offering throughout the 2013 season.
