Wake to salt air and sea gulls. Unwind in rooms where hand-selected furnishings meet the timeless elegance of the Maine coast. This is not a hotel — it is a sanctuary crafted for those who seek something genuinely different.
Each room is a carefully composed space — where antique charm meets modern comfort, and every detail has been considered for your peace of mind.
Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the bay. Wake to the sound of water and the sight of horizon. Private bath with rainfall shower.
French doors open to a private stone terrace surrounded by native coastal gardens. An intimate retreat for two.
Built-in oak bookshelves, a writing desk, and a deep soaking tub. The scholarly escape for those who read by firelight.
At Burgess Bed & Bath, the small things are what matter most. From the moment you arrive, every detail is designed to make you feel truly welcome.
Each morning begins with a farm-fresh breakfast prepared from local ingredients — Maine lobster, wild blueberries, and bread baked on-site.
No rushed check-outs or rigid schedules. Stay as long as you like, sip coffee on the porch, and let the coast set your pace.
Hand-thrown ceramics, locally woven textiles, and vintage linens — every object in your room has a story and a purpose.
Gather in the parlor each evening for locally sourced wine and conversation. It is the small ritual that makes the stay unforgettable.
Nestled along the shores of Penobscot Bay, Burgess Bed & Bath occupies a rare position — close enough to the water to hear the tide, set back enough to hear nothing at all. Stonington is a working waterfront village where time moves differently and every sunrise feels personal.
The nearby town of Deer Isle offers art galleries, the iconic suspension bridge, and some of Maine's finest seafood. Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park are a short drive north.

"This is what a bed and breakfast should be. Not a hotel with breakfast included, but a home where you are genuinely welcomed. We felt it the moment we arrived."

"The Ocean View Suite took our breath away. Waking up to that light on the water, with the sound of the tide — we have already booked our return."
