Welcome! Our family purchased The Thistle Inn in May 2006. We moved from Nantucket with our 6 month old son, Jackson, to start a new chapter in our lives as owners of The Thistle Inn. Max has over 20 years of experience in fine dining and wine wholesaling. He has held positions in the Wine Marketing division of Horizon Beverage, Radius (Boston), The Wauwinet (Nantucket) and the Eiffel Tower (Las Vegas). Jen left her Boston-based software career behind and now enjoys managing the inn and spending precious time with young Jackson. Jackson is now joined by baby brother Alexander - born 10/13/2009!
We are joined by Michael Whitney, our executive chef. Michael brings the experience and passion to the kitchen that makes The Thistle Inn a special place to be. The food is inspired by local ingredients and Mike's love of cooking. The combination of our team, along with our wait staff and kitchen staff make The Thistle Inn a "must-see" while in Boothbay Harbor.
Starting in the 2009 Summer Season, we welcome our new innkeeper, Anya Savastano . Anya has years of customer service experience and will make sure your stay at the inn is a pleasant one. Anya is also the owner of Wannawaf - a great place by the footbridge to fulfill your ice cream dreams. Their unique combination with warm Belgian waffles and creative toppings will leave you wanting more!
We welcome you as our guests and hope you enjoy one of our 6 guest rooms, a elegant meal or join us for a pint of beer and a game at the Dory Pub.
