1774 Inn
-
The rear (river side) of the 1774 Inn with the 1774-built main house to the left, the 'ell' in the centre and the barn apartment on the right. The exclusive Woodshed Room verandah is centre bottom. The extensive 4-acre grounds slope down to the private river frontage.
Breakfast on the deck is a must when the sun is out!
The magnificent McCobb room, named after the local businessman who had the house built in 1774.
The front of 1774 Inn - the first view you will have on arrival.
Walk down the old paving slabs to the imposing front door.
Watch the sun come up over the mighty Kennebec river.
Enjoy a sumptuous breakfast in the elegant formal dining room, complete with huge fireplace and roaring log fire for those chillier mornings.
The spacious and supremely comfortable Haggett room, with its fabulous views over the rear grounds and the river.
The beautiful first-floor Woodshed suite - equally perfect for either honeymooners or old romantics! Breakfast on your own private verandah before stepping straight down to the four acres of grounds and the river frontage.
The small dining-room - ideal for small family breakfasts on sunny mornings, with direct access to the deck whre you can eatch the seals play while enjoying your coffee.
The original stairway is wide and very low-rise, which makes the second-floor rooms in the main house easily accessible for all.
The Hill room is named after the Inn's second owner, Mark Langdon Hill, who was Maine's first representative to the US Congress.
The memory of third owner, and well-known Maine shipbuilder Charles Minott, is preserved in the tastefully furnished Minott room.
The prices of the rooms in the adjoining 'Ship's Carpenters' Quarters', added to the main house in 1870, reflect their slightly more compact size, but they are no less comfortable.

A beautiful, airy, New England house. This was one of the highlights of our trip. Lovely position close to the waterfront and a genuine, hospitable, welcome from the owners. Ypu will not find a better B&B ! NAC Oxford, UK

John and Jackie own a wonderful 18th century inn on the banks of the Kennebec river. Their hospitality is un-surpassed. You really come to understand how friendly and attentive hosts can add huge value to a stay. We spent two nights, September 17 and 18 in the Woodshed Room. We loved the room's rustic feel and the relaxing porch with an unobstructed view of the Kennebec and Goat Island. Breakfast was a perfect blend of British and American fare served in both formal and casual dinning rooms. We could have spent a week just sitting on the lawn next to the river reading and playing. Make sure you visit Spinney's Restaurant at Popham Beach for fresh lobster and North Creek Farm for lunch.
5 out of 5All our high expectations were met and more! This was the perfect place for our short getaway.

We are retreat owners and had a little opening in our schedule allowing us to getaway and do some recharging of the batteries and play tourist. We stayed in the "Woodshed" suite. It was cozy, warm on the chilly nights and we very much enjoyed having a couch to sit on and chat on and have a glass wine with snacks kept cold in the mini fridge. The decor inspired us to return and do a remake on one of our cottages. Jackie has impeccable taste and creates an understated atmosphere that represents the sea faring traditions of this historic community while being comfortable, practical and beautiful. This suite has a private porch overlooking a large sloping lawn down to the river. There is nothing more soul satisfying than a long view such as this. If not for my love of the beach and having Popham Beach only 15 minutes away, we would have spent most of our time right on the porch, gazing, reading, napping. Our breakfasts were huge. We could have a light breakfast of fresh fruit and yogurt...but no, we splurged on as much of the wonderful baked goods, eggs, breakfast meats and blueberry pancakes as we could hold! It held us to supper time. John, Jackie and their cook/helper are warm, gracious, helpful and sincere. Being engaged in this line of work ourselves, we know what it takes to hold this quality of space for others to enjoy. Our expectations for our stay were high and were exceeded in every way. We felt the love in the home that was shared with us and the very wonderful service that was given.We look forward to being able to return to the inn and do more exploring of the Bath area which has so much beauty, history and diversity to offer up.

September 15, 2012
We had a very relaxing and wonderful stay at the 1774Inn. The B&B is located at a very wonderful place in the nature of Maine. The service of the Innkeepers was outstanding (very good breakfast!) and the rooms of the Inn are very beautiful, clean and have a nice view to the river.

The owners are great, new to the trade, but very anxious to please the guests. Historic site, beautiful grounds, in a great location. If you love Mid-Coast Maine, definitiely stop in here for a couple of days while you explore the area.

The 1774 inn is beautiful. We stayed in the Haggett room and it was spacious and overlooked the river. John and Jackie, the inn keepers, were very friendly and hospitable. The food and cookies are delicious! I would definitely stay again.
