What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Set on 57 acres of waterfront, its accommodations range from rooms in the historic inn to outlying lodges, cottages, and townhouses, all decorated in a contemporary coastal style.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Boothbay Harbor's art galleries and working waterfront are a short drive north, leaving the point itself quiet and pine-scented.

The rooms
Rooms span the historic shingled inn, outlying lodges, and standalone cottages, finished in understated coastal tones.
The saltwater pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Teak loungers line the saltwater pool along the rocky shore, and a heated second pool sits among the pines.
The spa
The woodland spa has treatment rooms among the trees and a private relaxation deck with a whirlpool tub.
At the table
Floor-to-ceiling windows look out over Boothbay Harbor, where dinners bring local oysters and Maine lobster at sunset.
How it began
The shingled clubhouse opened in 1892 as a sporting lodge, spared from heavy development when water pipe construction stalled.
