Please call the hotel at 1-800-336-3983 to book a room. Please let them know you are attending the SocialBeadia Coastal Maine Bead Retreat as we have a block of rooms reserved and the remaining rooms may show as not available if you attempt to reserve outside the group.  This is a highly desired boutique Inn.  The Inn can only hold the block of rooms until the end of November.  After that, they will be released to the public.  I highly recommend that you reserve the hotel room early for the best room availability, especially if you are planning on sharing a room with a fellow beader and need more than one bed.  Each of the rooms are configured differently and you can view the room interiors and the view on their website www.beachmereinn.com.  The hotel does require a deposit to hold your room, however, will refund the deposit minus the $50 cancellation fee if you cancel within 31 days prior to the event.
