The simple pleasures of the Harbor View House of 1807
 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 over 2
gently sloping, wooded acres.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 living room also has an "Internet corner, " providing
guests access to their email. The inn's FAX/copier/printer can be made available by arrangement.. As one guest
said "I can relax more fully if I know everything is OK back at work."
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 different sleeping accommodations to better serve the needs of our visitors-twins, queen & king beds.
The original Federal kitchen area provides the kitchen for the inn as well as living area for two of the inn’s three innkeepers. Guests are welcome to stop by for tea and a chat or to ask for information about the Belfast area during their stay.
Please feel free to wander around the inn and appreciate the historic details that abound in this lovely historic home. |
