Five-minute walk through woods to summer community of Bayville. Three miles from Boothbay Harbor. Ninety minutes north of Portland. It's a bit of quintessential Maine on the water. With inn- keepers whose various experiences include a hint of fantasy.
Every room now has a water view and, yes, a private bath.
Some have fireplaces. Throughout, there are reproduction and traditional furnishings and some of De's family pieces. Once again the wide veranda with hammock and lots of wicker is filled with guests enjoying the view and serenity. For those who come by sea, the inn has one mooring. Tomato-basil frittata, apples baked in puff pastry or blueberry stuffed French toast, roasted herb potatoes.
