|
This beautiful Federal-style inn was originally built in 1807 as a home for attorney Bohan P. Field. It was built in an area known as Primrose Hill that rests above Belfast Harbor and entertains a view of the harbor and Penobscot Bay. The current inn is situated on three quarters of a gently sloping, wooded acre.
Harbor View House is a true gem of Federal architecture that has been lovingly maintained to retain its original design and charm. Front and rear central hall doors are still accented by their original Federal-style fanlights. Authentic pumpkin pine floors guide the visitor into the common living and dining rooms, each complete with fireplace, original woodwork and shutters, and 10-foot ceilings. These rooms provide relaxing areas in which guests can play games, watch movies, chat, relax over afternoon tea and of course enjoy the breakfasts served every morning in the dining room. The inn has 6 guest rooms, with two on the first floor. The size of the rooms and the spacious hallways ensure a quiet stay in each of these guest rooms. The first-floor guest rooms, complete with private baths, fireplaces, and built-in bookcases, are at the rear of the first floor and provide a view of Belfast Harbor beyond from their private deck area. The main staircase leads up to the second floor hallway and four more guest rooms, each having private bath and fireplace. Most of these rooms have a view of the harbor as well. Rooms have twin, queen & king beds. A large deck offers guests an outdoor area in which to relax and sip lemonade and snack on cookies or cakes, all the while enjoying the view of the Harbor View House gardens and the woods beyond. The original Federal kitchen area provides the kitchen for the inn as well as well as a family room for the Innkeepers. Above this space are two more rooms and a bath, currently used as a very large sewing room and a massage room. The inn property also includes the original barn which has been converted to innkeeper space. The space is very flexible and depending on the needs of an Innkeeper, there is the ability for more guest rooms, short or long term rental as well as retail, antiques, art studio or other home businesses. |
