Stay where the salty sea meets the craggy coast
for an unforgettable experience in Spruce Head, Maine

Introducing Greg & Lauren Soutiea
The decision to take up innkeeping came after a few years of exploring the idea. Greg’s background is in property and project management and Lauren’s training is in public health, so you can rest assured that The Craignair Inn is dedicated to doing everything in our power to make our historic MidCoast Maine inn a safe and welcoming space for our guests, staff, and community to enjoy. We both have considerable experience in various aspects of the hospitality industry—so the prospect of owning and operating a small inn in a beautiful location was very attractive. We visited properties in New England’s mountains and along its coast. We came to visit The Craignair Inn on the perfect summer day in August 2018 in time for a beautiful sunset and decided that this was the one.
Running the inn is our main priority, but in Greg’s free time his passion is for ultra marathons—100-mile and 24-hour track events that can require a training schedule of 100+ miles a week. When he runs the Boston Marathon, he does it twice—first from the finish line to the start before the official race and then from the start to the finish line during the official race.
Lauren enjoys training for triathlons, which consist of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bicycle ride, and a marathon raced in that order. Guests will often spot us running up and down Clark Island Road with our dogs Gertie and Ruby by our side.
We can’t wait to meet you!
