This June my husband and I were married at Attean Lake Lodge. It truly was an amazing experience from beginning to end. The entire staff were professional, down to earth, and genuine. The island, amenities, and cabins were clean and comfy with picturesque views that made the weekend surreal. Not to mention the food was out of this world. We couldn’t have been happier to have been wed on the island and we look forward to having family reunions to come back there!

Gorgeous view of the bay and portland harbor. It truly was a magical spot and I appreciated being able to customize my decor and use of outdoor space as needed. The other nice thing about this venue is they didn’t require us to use specific vendors, but their recommended ones ended up being the best around.

It is one week ago today that we experienced the most magical vow renewal event at the Chebeague Island Inn! This would have never happened if it wasn't for Caitlyn, Glen, Matt, and Jess at the Inn. Every detail, every morsel of food, to the timing and atmosphere was simply superb!! The rooms are beautifully quaint and cozy. The views were magnificent. And, ohhhh the sunset!!! The precision in all the details was key because it was a surprise kept for a very long time. I can not express in words how grateful we are. Our weekend could not have been more perfect! We are still talking about it and how your staff made us feel like family. They really went above and beyond my expectations!! And did I mention the views!!??
