Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Overlooking its namesake bay and boasting seven acres of gently rolling meadows and mature foliage, this sweet estate is family owned and operated, and offers a charming taste of classic coastal Maine.
- Exchange vows at the water’s edge on the dedicated Wedding Peninsula, followed by an unforgettable reception in the sailcloth pole tent, with its clear sidewalls, full-length flooring, and romantic bistro lighting.
- Four charming guest cabins can host up to sixteen overnighters for the weekend, and you’re certain to fall in love with the Honeymoon Cottage, which features an oversized soaking tub and a private deck with unobstructed views of the bay.
