A Historic Seaside Resort on Penobscot Bay
Specializing in picture-perfect Maine getaways for serenity seekers and adventurers alike
The Oakland House is a resort colony of vintage cottages, a communal guest house and 135-year old inn on 60 acres on Eggemoggin Reach, overlooking picturesque Pumpkin Island to the right and the iconic Deer Isle Bridge to the left. We offer a restorative haven for guests in search of breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, hikes to gorgeous overlooks, cozy nights by the fireplace and silence disturbed only by the call of loons in the nighttime. We’re also ideal for restless nature-lovers who come to paddle, hike, bike, fish, sail and explore Acadia National Park.
Maine = vacation, however you define it, and the Oakland House is at your service.
Each of our eight cottages has its own personal charm. Some sit right on the shoreline, others perch overlooking the Reach, two are dog-friendly, Birches and Grindstone, and all have cozy granite fireplaces with vintage Maine appointments.
The Acorn Guest House has a following all its own, perfect for families and communal retreats. The broad porch overlooking the lawns and gardens are especially welcoming, and the well-appointed full kitchen encourages home cooking. Six private bedrooms, two bathrooms, and upstairs library.
Private beaches, onsite hiking trails, equipment rental and our experienced concierge team to assist with all sorts of arrangements make an adventurous Maine vacation a possibility. Seasonal access to nearby Walker Pond possible.
The Oakland House has a long tradition of weddings by the sea, either under the oak groves of Cathedral Field or in a traditional event tent on the great lawn. The Barnacle, our large barn with a granite fireplace and high rafters, provides another gathering place. Family reunions, writer’s retreats, artist’s colonies, we have options for all sorts of special occasions.
