Start your mornings with coffee overlooking the water, then spend your days enjoying simple, timeless fun—challenge the kids to a game of croquet or wiffleball on the lawn, toss a frisbee in the open air, or launch a kayak for a peaceful paddle along the shoreline.


Outdoor Living at Its Best
Let the kids roam free and enjoy classic outdoor fun—set up a game of croquet on the lawn, organize a lively wiffleball match, or toss a frisbee in the open air. If you’d like to get out on the water, be sure to bring your own kayak or canoe, or rent one nearby, then enjoy a peaceful paddle surrounded by Maine’s natural beauty. Pack a picnic and head across to Mayo Point, or wind down with a serene sunset trip as the sky glows over the harbor.
