Our common rooms, including our large wraparound porch are spacious
and inviting; for many summers and through the Fall our guests have
enjoyed the the star-bright sky, the smell of the sea, and sitting
beside the fire on cool evenings.

to music or play your own

 Our
guest rooms (all have private baths, a few with claw foot tubs)
are named for the children who grew up here. Tastefully furnished,
some with fireplaces and ocean views, each room is large and airy
with high ceilings and generous windows.
Several of our rooms can function as suites for families and friends
traveling together. All have either queen or king beds (converting
to twins) and most have private baths. Our rooms feature oriental
rugs, paintings, many books (from Shakespeare to shiatsu) and many
amenities Roberta has collected from worldwide travels. Whether
you watch the splash of a brilliant sunrise across the horizon,
or the sunset over the Porcupine Islands or wake to the call of
the gulls, you will appreciate your proximity to nature. Even during
the hottest days, the Shore Path Cottage is cooled by ocean breezes.

We offer a hearty, homemade breakfast (you'll leave the
table feeling healthy, not guilty) together with suggestions
for making your visit to Mt. Desert Island wonderfully memorable.
We provide maps, guide books and privileged information based
on our own personal experience and explorations of the Island.
Have breakfast in the dining room, on the porch or on the
lawn, and participate — if you wish — in a lively
interesting conversation.
Following a day of adventure on land or sea, relax in one
of our common rooms — the library, living room or den
— enjoying a warm or cold drink and something sweet.
After dining in one of the area's many fine restaurants, you
may choose to end the day at a movie, a concert, a walk in
town, or by curling up in a cozy chair in the living room
where someone is sure to be playing the grand piano. |
The Shore Path Cottage
She sits among the pines and elms,
Majestic in her stance.
The ocean to the east of her,
Beyond the lawn's expanse.
Her rooms within are bright and warm,
A traveler's beacon clear.
A bed awaits for those who roam,
There's rest and comfort here.
Inspired by her owner's mien,
She offers pause and peace.
A good night's sleep and breakfast full,
Then on with life's caprice.
- Fran Klarin, August 1, 2004

Beyond our badminton net, the Queen
Mary sits at anchor in our front "yard" |
"We return to experience the
warm atmosphere, the beauty, the peace and the magical ambiance
of the sea."
