A lighthouse on the Maine coast in winter

Winter

It’s that time of year when our guests gather around one of our crackling fireplaces to chat with one another and plot their day’s activities. The winter months bring snow flurries, mulled wine and an array of snowy activities, from the US National Toboggan Championships to the magical Winter Carnival. There’s home tours and tree lighting ceremonies, too. Wish you were here?

Looking Towards Spring

A tapestry of vibrant blooms, where sunlight dances on shimmering shores

After a busy summer season, the inn will be quiet for most of the winter as we continue our renovation projects and grab a few quiet weeks rest for ourselves. Our hearts are turning towards spring, eager to bask in its transformative magic.
