The Claremont is located on one of the prettiest little points in Maine. It is full of charm, antiques, comfortable beds and new-ish bathrooms. The staff is really nice. There are so many fun things to do on Mt Dessert even if you don't sail (which I don't) and the Claremont knows them all. They have a lovely tennis court and the BEST place on the island for lunch...called the Boat House, a converted old Boat House right on the water and the sound...great sandwiches and cookies. Good for pm cocktails too.
