Who can describe the coast of Maine with its 5,500 miles of shoreline, 6,200 islands, 64 lighthouses, and 400 years of American history? Writers, photographers & painters have tried for centuries. Edward Hopper, Winslow Homer, the Wyeths, and many others have given us unforgettable images of sunwashed beaches, fishing boats shrouded in fog, old buildings weathered to silver, austere ledges softened by bayberry & roses.

But, no artist can capture the scent of salt air & balsam, the crystalline quality of light, the crashing or lapping of the Atlantic shoreline in its many moods, the alchemy that combines these things to make sleep so sound & food taste so good. These you have to experience for yourself at an authentic "Waterside" Hideaway.
