The Flying Cloud B&B is a warm hospitable port of call
along Maine's beautiful mid-coast. An easy walk to the village
of Damariscotta with interesting shops to explore and
wonderful restaurants to enjoy, The Flying Cloud makes a
relaxing home port as you discover this classic mid-coast
area.
Flying Cloud's accommodations will make you feel welcome and
comfortable. The five guest rooms each has a private bath.
Four rooms offer beautiful views of the tidal Damariscotta
River and harbor, while one guest room overlooks the back
gardens with butterflies and birdfeeders. Enjoy the cozy TV
room or relax in the extensive library. You will find a high
speed Internet connection for your laptop on the drafting desk
and games and puzzles on the shelves as well as books to
browse. On crisp mornings or chilly evenings, bask in front of
one of Flying Cloud's warming fireplaces.
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. After savoring the fresh baked muffins
and fresh fruit, you will enjoy one of many hot entrée's.
The chef plans something new and piping hot each morning. From
the traditional Maine blueberry pancakes to the more
unexpected fontina cheese and mushroom strata, breakfast is a
treat each day. 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.

Kayaking is available across the bridge (a 10 minute walk)
or on Muscongus Bay. South to Bath find the Maritime Museum
and Reid State Park or Pompum Beach, wonderful for walking at
any time of the year. 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. Drive or hike to the top of Mount Batty for
breathtaking views of the islands and coastline of Maine. Take
a schooner sunset cruise from the Camden harbor. |
