Our home is a lovely turn-of-the century post Victorian built in 1905 as a wedding present for the very special daughter of a local woolen mill owner.

We are located in the heart of The Maine Highlands. A region that stretches across two counties and offers a broad range of wilderness and sporting experiences as well as a diverse historical and cultural heritage. We are mere minutes away from beautiful lakes, rivers and mountains.

The Appalachian Trail, Gulf Hagas, Borestone Mountain and many challenging golf courses are all nearby. We are a great destination for the vacationer, antique shopper and business traveler.

Our love of gardening, great food and the sincere hospitality of Central Maine is evident to all who stay with us.

A full gourmet breakfast, included in our rates, is served in the dining room, or in fair weather, on the screened porch.

We look forward to your stay.
