Bed and Breakfast Description

This is "Old Maine at its Best," Sunday Eagle-Tribune, September 25, 2005. In the heart of the Blue Hill Peninsula.

Yankee Magazine's Travel Guide to New England, '2003 Editors Pick.' As spectacular a location to view a sunset as any on the coast of Maine. Lawn games, barn rec. room, rowboats. Also, Yankee Magazine, April 2002 lists us as "one of 12 Best Spots To Dine on the coast of New England."

While dinner is not included in rates for a room at the seaside inn; it is in cottage rates. It can be added. The food is so good that you'll probably want to stay and save the bother of driving to another nearby restaurant.

We have 15 cottages, all different! An example:
Boathouse Cottage: Once a boathouse right on the ocean's edge, now with living room, fireplace, 2 bedrooms, kitchen, full bath and deck.

Specials change frequently: schooner trips, lobster and cruise getaways. Honeymoons! Family reunions!

Area Attractions and Activities:

Explore Holbrook Island Sanctuary, ride the Mailboat to Isle Au Haut, canoe or kayak on lake or ocean, family lobster picnic on beach, island cruises, golf, antique and art galleries, whale-watches nearby.

There are local historical society museums, libraries, and post offices where you can learn what's happening in our small town. We have our own art workshops on premises too.

Take to foot and explore our woodland and shorefront. A short hike on a trail blazed with cairns (delicately and artistically stacked rocks) will take you 250 feet above Eggemoggin Reach for an exquisitely breathtaking view of East Penobscot Bay. Take your lunch. You'll see Pumpkin Island Lighthouse at the tip of Little Deer Isle, with Pond Island and Islesboro between us and the Camden Hills. The Camden Hills are 22 miles across the Bay. Thomaston is barely visible to the south.

Bring your own kayak or rent one from a local outfitter who will deliver it to our beach. Our beaches are ideal for launching.
