Yes! The Chebeague Island Inn: There are a couple of rooms left at the inn. They have a queen bed and shared bathrooms. The benefit of staying at the inn is that you're right next to the party! Cottages on Chebeague: There are also a few cottages on Chebeague available to rent that you won't find listed on Airbnb or VRBO. The capacity of these cottages ranges from 2-11 guests. To secure either of these options, reach out to either Ryan or Hannah.
No! While staying on the island is highly recommended, it is not required. There are many hotel options in Portland right near the Casco Bay Ferry lines. Here are a few: Hampton Inn Portland Downtown Waterfront Hilton Garden Inn Portland Downtown Waterfront AC Hotel by Marriot Portland Downtown/Waterfront, ME And many more!
Easy! There are many options for short-term rentals on the mainland. We would suggest looking near Cumberland Foreside, ME, or Yarmouth, ME to stay close to the Chebeague Transportation Company ferry parking. Portland is also a good option for a rental as it is near the Casco Bay Lines Ferry. We suggest looking within the Munjoy Hill neighborhood or the Old Port for close ferry access.
Cocktail! Maybe don't dress to the nines, but aim for the eights at least.
Transportation can be arranged through the Chebeague Island Inn. Please keep in mind, however, that the Inn has limited vehicles. Plan to set up your ride in advance and if you must arrive a bit early to certain events, relax with a drink on the porch or play some lawn games as you wait!
