Captain Isaac Merrill Inn
The jewel-like, 4 chimneyed, Captain Isaac Merrill Inn, built in 1829, is at the heart of the colonial village of Blue Hill. From the front door, you can watch the coming and going of the tides on Blue Hill Bay.
Come to Sleep in a 4 poster bed, in front of a roaring fire. Help yourself to a Delightful Breakfast Buffet, and enjoy sitting near the diningroom fire.
Dine at area restaurants serving excellent foods.
This is the perfect Getaway to Tranquility, with time to linger, unhurried. This is a Place of Romance & Wonder, memories made in the midst of History. Enjoy the modern conviences of Wi-Fi, and "Showtime" in your room.

Innkeepers
- Innkeeper(s): "Captain" Dan & "Florence" Jane
We adore traveling and exploring. After all we met on an Indonesian Island in 1969, when we were 21. Dan, a British citizen, born in Glascow, Scotland, still travels to work on oil rigs, currently in China. Jane was born in NYC, (& loves Drama), but is thrilled to be here, dwelling in her great, grand-father's house, (also the place her mother and aunts were born.) Our children, now mid-20's, have also traveled widely. - The innkeepers speak: some Arabic, some French, some Japanese, some Spanish, English
