Your Innkeepers

Judy and Tom Connelie have owned the Black Lantern B & B since 1997. Initially at another location in Topsham they moved to their present waterfront location at 57 Elm Street in 2005 and have tastefully renovated the circa 1860 home, adding bathrooms and restoring the original charm to the bedrooms and public spaces.

Prior to becoming Innkeepers they had lived throughout the country while Tom was serving in the U.S. Navy Civil Engineer Corps before settling in Orange County, CA for a number of years. Judy, a registered nurse, was a Disneyland nurse and Tom was a school administrator and Public Works manager.

Having fallen in love with Maine while vacationing there in previous years, they moved across country to Maine in 1997 specifically to own a Bed & Breakfast.
