A visit to The Keeper's House is rejuvenating and relaxing. It's getting away and reconnecting. It's a step back in time at this historic home off the coast of Maine.

Guests also enjoy a number of amenities that are hard to find at more traditional vacation rentals. You won't find cell service, internet access, or televisions. Air conditioning is an open window, the fitness center is a nearby trail.

Families enjoy less screen time and more face time. The kids won't miss manicured parks and massive playgrounds when they can run through our lawns, build fairy houses in the woods, or help our chef pick herbs in the garden.

Use the binoculars for birdwatching. Borrow a bicycle to explore the island.

Our 15' traditionally-crafted wooden Whitehall Rowboat is available for rowing on calm days.

At night enjoy stargazing and visiting with fellow guests. Or, enjoy a book by the fire on a chilly evening.

As a property perched on the edge of a rocky island, we take great care to be responsible and sustainable hosts. We are off-the-grid and powered by state-of-the-art photovoltaics and a 30-kw generator for supplemental power. Freshwater is made through our reverse osmosis system that pulls an unlimited supply from the sea. Our wastewater is treated through a network of peat bogs and flower beds in our garden.
