Awake, refreshed and ready to begin your day in Maine. Enjoy a fabulous gourmet breakfast served in traditional New England style. Begin with fresh perked coffee on the front porch watching the boats on the river. Breakfast is served on the screen porch during the summer months and in the gracious dining room all year.

Special dietary needs can easily be accommodated with advance notice.

When you are ready to start your day of exploring and discovery, your hosts will provide you with suggestions and directions to compliment your interests. From the more vigorous-kayaking and hiking, sailing and golf-to the less strenuous-art galleries, antique shops, outlets and museums, there is something for everyone. The mid-coast abounds with the beauty that can only be found on the rocky coast on Maine.

Plan a day trip to areas near by. Boothbay Harbor, famous for it's scenic boats and harbor is down the River Road. Pemiquid Point lighthouse, Fort William Henry and Pemiquid Beach are fifteen miles down the Pemiquid Peninsula.

From New Harbor take the ferry to Monhegan Island or cruise out to see the puffins and seals. Go north and discover the Owl's Head Lighthouse and the general store in the village. (Some of the best molasses cookies ever!)

Visit the Owl's Head Transportation Museum with a wonderful array of antique cars, airplanes, wagon and motorcycles. A little further north enjoy the Rockland lighthouse on the mile long breakwater. Visit the Farnsworth Art Museum, home to three generations of Wyeths. Camden is another 15 minutes north of Rockland.
