Accomodations

Contemporary Home with Historic Charm

A recently renovated historic 5-bedroom home, formerly a Post Headquarters building. Enjoy the beautiful front porch, large kitchen, dining room, cozy living room, and comfortable bedrooms.

Great Diamond Island in Casco Bay, off the coast of Portland, is one of the most picturesque islands in Maine.

Diamond Cove is the island's small private residential community, formerly a military base built during America's Gilded Age. Army structures that were once scattered over the land have been restored and are now homes with wonderful historic detail and character.

Before being an army base, Diamond Cove was a famous artists' retreat where American literary greats such as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Harriet Beecher Stowe spent time.
