The cottage is a separate in law quarter attached but separated from the main part of the inn. The property itself is called The Victorian by the Sea. The original owner was an award winning children’s author and the mother-in-law to Robert McCloskey. I loved that the books were available to read and the house is featured in a few stories! We stayed in the cottage with our two children and nanny and had plenty of room.The accommodations were adorable and the photos don’t do the property justice. The kitchen was sufficient to cook breakfast and dinner for meals we didn’t eat out. The beds, pillows and linen were heaven. The owner Caroline is one of the best parts of the stay. She is very pleasant, attentive, and full of excellent suggestions for excursions and restaurants. As it is a bed and breakfast, she left us homemade scones, juices, yogurt, fresh eggs, milk and coffee for breakfast in the morning. Plus, a bottle of wine to drink on the veranda that over looks Penobscot Bay in the evening. The moon rise over the water was breath taking. We followed most of her suggestions and made fun memories with the children from light house tours (Owls Head, Curtis Island, and Marshall point) farmers markets, cove swimming at low tide, climbing to the top of Mt. Battie, and the best of all a sunset cruise on the schooner “Surprise “. The Inn is very close to Camden and the Mt.Battie State Park, as well as Lincolnville beach. You will not have to drive far to get to the best attractions. Dot’s Bakery is great for sandwiches and sweet treats. We had a date night at The Youngtown Inn (a reservation made by Caroline) and had a fine French dining experience, The owner of the Inn and restaurant Mary Ann was lovely and had a way of making you feel so welcome. I am officially in love with this area in Maine and can not wait to come back. Please do yourself a favor, and book this beautiful place !
