The Chapman Inn Description:
The Chapman Inn is a delightfully quaint inn located in the heart of Bethel’s historic district, overlooking the town common. We include our world famous full gourmet breakfast, as well as warm genuine hospitality with every stay. At the Chapman Inn, you are not just a room number, but a real person with a real name, who deserves to be pampered.
The building itself has a fascinating history, and indeed is featured in the photograph on the cover of "The Illustrated History of Bethel". It is one of the oldest structures in Bethel, having been built in 1865 by a retired sea captain. Warmly furnished in antique and custom pieces, you cannot help but unwind after a hard day. Singles, couples and families alike will fall in love with the friendly, homelike atmosphere here at The Chapman Inn, as well as the affordable rates. We adore children, and indeed, the New England Travel Guide names us "The Best Family B&B in New England".
The house attained a place in history when William Rogers Chapman purchased the home shortly after its construction. Mr. Chapman was a famous 19th century composer, conductor, and founder of the Rubenstein Club and the Metropolitan Musical Society, as well as the Maine Music Festival. It is because of Mr. Chapman that Bethel could boast of its very own opera house, which to this day still stands, facing the Chapman House. The Chapman House remained in the Chapman family until the 1950's. Unlike many New England buildings, the home has not been subjected to periodic additions, and still maintains the original footprint, standing as it was built over a hundred and thirty years ago.
