The Oxford House Inn and Restaurant
Fryeburg, Maine
The Oxford House Inn & Restaurant sits on a well maintained and landscaped 1.22 acres. While the front of the inn features an entrance alive with a flowering vine, welcoming you onto a beautiful porch where you can watch people go by or enjoy a wonderful meal coming from the restaurant at the inn. The lower level features a pub that oozes ambience with its granite walls and cozy banquette tables (two left photos below). The upstairs restaurant (photo below, right) offers a more formal setting with a fireplace, leaded glass and beautiful original woodwork.
Wander out back and you will be greeted by an amazing view of the White Mountains, seeing Mt. Washington off in the distance. Enjoy morning coffee, a walk down the path, the fresh air.
Fryeburg, Maine is a small western Maine town, tucked beside the Saco River and home to Fryeburg Academy, one of the oldest private boarding and day schools in America, and the famous Fryeburg Fair which has become the most popular autumn agricultural fair in the state!
The town is inviting with shops, restaurants, and a warm community. It is ideally located one hour from Portland, three hours from Boston, and two hours from Manchester, New Hampshire’s International airport. Fryeburg is a year-round destination for summer travelers to enjoy the lakes with hiking and kayaking, fall travelers enjoying country drives and hikes, viewing foliage. Winter brings skiing, snowmobiling, and enjoying the outdoors.
While some call spring in Maine “mud season,” others embrace the warming air, birds migrating, and sweet smells of everything coming back to life.
If you aren’t one to step in as chef/owner, there is a well qualified staff. manager and sous chef working with the chef that could step into the lead chef position for new owners. The current owners have built a very strong business they’ve owned and operated since 2007 as a full service inn open year round and offer a wonderful opportunity for new owners to step in and continue the tradition. Current owners started a family a couple years back so they chose to operate the restaurant 5 days a week. New owners could open that back up to 7 days as there is the demand for it.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a thriving business in the western lakes and mountains region of Maine!
