Originally constructed in 1790 for the Cuthbert Family, this antebellum-style home served as a residence during the summer social season. While welcoming visits from other prominent families and political figures, their refreshing retreat along the bay was perfectly situated to capture cool, gentle coastal breezes. Over time, the home has been lovingly preserved and meticulously restored into the grand, historic inn it is today.

We had a great time. We stayed here during a long weekend for our anniversary and the staff took great care of us and helped us line up excursions during our stay and took care of booking them for us.
