Grey Havens
Located on Georgetown Island southeast of Bath, this gracefully aging shingled home with prominent turrets sits on a high, rocky bluff overlooking the sea. Inside, you can relax in front of a cobblestone fireplace before checking in. Innkeepers Eva and Dick Roesler updated what had been an aging B&B when they took over in 2011, but the rooms are still simple. Oceanfront rooms command a premium but are worth it for the views—if you’re looking to save a few bucks, ask about an oceanfront room with its bathroom located across the hall. Guests can use the inn’s canoes or bikes to explore the area. (There’s a little stairway down to a tiny dock on the water, from which guests have reportedly caught whopping fish.) One drawback? While that while the character of Gray Havens remains authentic to its 1904 roots, its walls have remained thin. The wonderfully big and (half-screened) porch is worth spending time on, and the lounge features a big picture window. From U.S. Route 1, go south on Route 127 and then follow signs for Reid State Park for 11 miles; just after turning onto Reid State Road (also known as Seguinland Road), watch for inn on left.
