Six miles out to sea, accessible only by mailboat, the Inn at Isle au Haut is ruggedly seated on the island's eastern shore, boasting commanding views of Acadia National Park’s Cadillac Mountain and the surrounding islands. Relax on the front porch in cozy white wicker chairs or in old adirondacks by the ocean's edge, perfect vantage points for contemplating a bygone era of peg-legged sea captains and sailing ships while watching local lobstermen haul their pots.

The inn is located on the island’s quiet east side, yet still close to the bustle of the town landing and park entrance. Spend your day biking to Long Pond for a dip, picnicking at Thunder Gulch or settle in with a good book by the shore. After a day of adventuring or relaxing, join us on the porch for appetizers, followed by a sumptuous dinner in the Ward Room.

The Inn at Isle au Haut is now accepting reservations for June 1 through September 28 of 2007 and can be contacted by e-mailing diana@innatisleauhaut.com or by calling Diana at (207) 335-5141.
