Perched in a picturesque setting overlooking the world renown sailing waters of Eggemoggin Reach, Oakland House Seaside Inn & Cottages offers an opportunity to own a piece of living history. Established on land acquired in 1767 through a grant from Britain's King George - just nine years before the signing of the Declaration of Independence - this iconic property has remained in the same family ever since. In 1889, the King George of England homestead was transformed into the Oakland House, a welcoming retreat for ''Rusticators'' arriving by steamship. Today, it continues to be a beloved destination for those seeking a rustic, authentic summer experience along the rocky Maine coast. The Oakland House is a charming colony of vintage seaside cottages, a communal guest house, and a historic 135-year-old inn. The property offers panoramic views of Pumpkin Island lighthouse and the majestic Deer Isle Bridge with plenty of sailboats gracing the coastline. The Inn houses a modern full restaurant kitchen and porch dining overlooking the colorful historic gardens. Guests are invited to enjoy the perfect balance of peaceful relaxation and outdoor adventure, with breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, cozy nights by the stone fireplace, and serene moments listening to the call of loons under a starry sky. For the adventurous, the resort is an ideal base for paddling, hiking, biking, fishing, sailing, and exploring the greater Acadia National Park area. There are two private beach areas for guest use. Whether you seek a quiet, restorative escape or an active, nature-filled getaway, Oakland House delivers both - steeped in history and surrounded by the stunning beauty of coastal Maine. This is not just a resort, but a legacy of hospitality that continues to charm and inspire visitors from all over the world.
