Fourteen rooms. None of them an afterthought.
Every room has its own bath, its own reading chair, and its own relationship with the light. Rates are per night before tax, breakfast included.
Four kinds of room, one house.
The water view goes first. Harbor View Kings and the Crow’s Nest book out for July and foliage season by early spring.
Harbor View King
From $189 a night
Five of our fourteen rooms face the moorings, and these are the ones guests rebook by number. A king bed, two reading chairs aimed at the water, and binoculars on the sill for the seals that haul out at low tide.
- King bed with linen sheets, down and down-alternative pillows
- En suite bath, walk-in rain shower, heated floor
- Binoculars, tide table, and the current harbor chart
- Blackout shades for the 4:58 a.m. June sunrise
Captain’s Suite
From $265 a night
The southeast corner: the rooms Alden Snow kept for himself, with windows on two sides and the widest view of the fleet. A separate sitting room means one of you can read at midnight while the other sleeps.
- King bed and a separate sitting room with daybed
- Soaking tub and separate rain shower
- Brass telescope, first-edition local histories
- Evening sherry on the sideboard, on the house
Garden Double
From $155 a night
The quiet side of the house, over the cutting garden and the quince tree. No water view; instead, bees in the catmint all July and the smell of salt hay through the window. The best sleep in the building, by our own unscientific survey.
- Queen bed with linen sheets and a wool throw
- En suite bath with walk-in shower
- Writing desk under the garden window
- First-floor option for guests who skip stairs
Crow’s Nest
From $310 a night
The whole third floor, up forty-two stairs and worth every one. Skylights over the bed, a private deck above the roofline, and a view from the breakwater to the Camden hills.
- King bed under twin skylights with blackout blinds
- Private deck with two chairs and a small table
- Wet bar, fridge, and a proper coffee setup
- Soaking tub with a view of nothing but sky
The house takes care of the morning.
- Full breakfast, 7:30 to 10: baked eggs, brown bread, seasonal fruit
- Coffee and tea on the sideboard from 6:30
- Afternoon shortbread and the day’s papers in the library
- Fast Wi-Fi throughout, though the chairs discourage it
- Parking, beach towels, and deck blankets
- Luggage storage before check-in and after checkout
The water view goes first. It always has.
If your dates are fixed, reserve now. If they are not, the desk will tell you which week the harbor is quietest.
