This is a beautiful 150-year-old Victorian Inn that was fully renovated 12 years ago. It does not have the Victorian shabby chic decor that many like -- no flowered wallpaper or old antiques -- but for us the more relaxed vibe, painted walls and large modern bath were perfect. The young couple who purchased the building less than a year ago work very hard to make you feel at home. They even let us check in a little bit early because we don't drive and were limited by bus schedules. The porch has a wonderful seating area and the numerous rooms available to the public were great for coffee or tea, or just good conversation with other guests. Some people may not like that they did not serve breakfast, but plenty of breakfast food -- yogurt, cereals, oatmeal cups, bagels, croissants, fresh fruit and of course tea and/or coffee -- were available for you to prepare yourself. They also had a late afternoon snack and ice cream. If you had a problem, the hosts would step in to help. Once we figured out the breakfast routine, it was pretty easy. Our only complaint was the cereals and oatmeal were all sweetened. We would have preferred some healthier options (cheerios, unsweetened oatmeal, etc.). Did I mention how large our room was? There was lots of storage. We didn't need it, but there was plenty of parking. I should note that they do have a smallish dog (for those who don't like dogs or are allergic); but all in all, it was a great experience!

The hosts had thought of everything. The rooms were spacious and comfortable with ample outlets and full temperature control. The location of the house was perfect and we were able to get to everything that we wanted to see. Very conveniently close to the ferry. We will definitely come back.

James and Kate are great inn keepers, very personable. They love what they do,and it shine through.

A beautiful place to stay with an historic home featured in several classic paintings… all the showering and bedroom was first class beautiful and very comfortable… a nice selection of amenities for breakfast and a nice surprise in the evening, which could be anything from a apple pie with ice cream to cheese and meats…. Highly recommend recommended.

Beautiful inn in a safe quiet neighborhood. Walking distance to downtown Rockland. Spacious clean room, tasteful decor, friendly owners. Especially enjoyed the coffee machine and breakfast options in the morning. Perfect spot for a fun Maine weekend!
