Circa 1874. There is a rich history behind this popularly photographed Second Empire Victorian mansion sitting on two acres of landscaped grounds with ocean vistas. It was built in 1874 by a sea captain and later owned by impressionist painter Waldo Peirce, a lifelong friend of Ernest Hemingway who visited the inn. Play the baby grand piano in the elegant parlor showcasing an original marble fireplace or watch a video by firelight in the nautical den. On the second floor a library/sitting area with bay views extends a peaceful spot to read or listen to a book selection on tape. Guest bedrooms with floor-to-ceiling windows are graciously furnished with 19th-century antiques and artifacts. Honeymooners enjoy the spacious Captain's Quarters with a hand-carved cherry canopy bed, marble-top dresser and bay window. A bountiful breakfast is served in the dining room.
