The "Captain's Quarters" is most spacious and romantic room at the Inn. Decorated with period antiques and highlighted with a hand carved cherry queen size canopy bed. A bay window offers glorious views of the grounds and the ocean beyond. Large private bath.
The "Waldo Peirce" room offers a classy ambience, featuring a queen size bed, and comfortable chairs to enjoy a private cup of tea. Beautiful ocean views from windows in both the room and its' private bath. Waldo Peirce artwork grace the walls.
The most "victorian" in appearance, the "Rose Room" is a comfortable refuge for both the single traveler as well as for a couple. A mahogany antique bedroom set with double bed is featured in this cozy room.
The "Library" is located just outside the three guest rooms. Relax and read or listen to books on tape from our extensive collection, or simply sit and enjoy a stunning view of the grounds and the bay.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this stunning victorian sea captain's mansion has most recently been listed as "highly recommended" in Fodor's 2006 Maine Coast Guide. It has been showcased in Yankee Magazine, Historic Inns of the Northeast, and America's Painted Ladies. Built in 1874, the Inn was once home to legendary impressionist painter Waldo Peirce. Lifelong friends and portrait artist of Ernest Hemingway, who frequented the Inn, Peirce found his inspiration and refuge along the breathtaking shores of Penobscot Bay and in the quaint town of Searsport. Come stay in one of Maine's most photographed homes and find your own inspiration and refuge!
