The Moss Wood Retreats

ROOMS:

Moss Wood House:  There are four bedrooms in the house with two modern baths, one on each floor.  Two of the rooms have twin beds but they can be configured as a king bed.  With a spacious porch overlooking the water and generous public rooms, Moss Wood is a comfortable place to stay.  All meals are served in Moss Wood. 

  Throughout the house, books will be strewn about - to be leafed through, settled into.

Games will be played. Conversations will break out.

MEALS:

At The Moss Wood Retreats, we pride ourselves on the worth of our meals, home cooked each day in the kitchen at Moss Wood House.

Early morning breakfast treats and fruits are laid out for the early risers as well as the ever present tea and coffee.  The sun rises at 4:50 and the morning still waters are the perfect time for a row or a paddle.

A hot breakfast is served each morning.

A casual lunch is provided each day, and our guests are welcome to eat in the house, on the porch, in their rooms, perhaps at the beach, or to take a picnic to the nearby Holbrook Island Sanctuary followed by a swim or a hike. 

At 5:30, we gather each evening on the porch for nibbles and conversation of the day.  Those who are so inclined will treat themselves to a sundowner.

Dinner follows.

We will do our utmost to try and accommodate dietary concerns, restrictions or allergies.  We ask that you provide the information on your registration form.  If for some reason we are unable to provide the meals you require we will (unhappily) say so and return your registration.  But it is difficult to imagine such an eventuality; we do our best and we aim to please.

*With our location right on the glory of Penobscot Bay, you may want to be on the water, not merely nearby.  Kayaks are available for rent from Hiram Blake for three day minimum. They can be rented by the day from a shop in nearby Blue Hill. We can assist you with this process. The rowboats on the dock are available for all.  Stand Cove is a still, quiet place for beginners and Spectacle Island is easily in reach for even a novice mariner.
