See the room and house information below.

Built in 1849, Pres du Port has been in our family for over 50 years.  Aunt Charlotte ran the house as a Bed and Breakfast for over two decades and now that we have renovated and refreshed all the rooms, we are excited to continue the tradition. 

Perched above the harbor within Stonington village, each room is unique and the views are breathtaking.  Breakfast is served in the enclosed porch with full picture windows that overlook the harbor. There is also a roof deck atop the porch that is available to all guests. Walk to everything in town or watch the lobster boats and schooners from a rocking chair on the porch. Come and enjoy the timeless charm of a Maine island community in our family vacation home.

Bedroom 6, Hublots, was mentioned earlier as it is on the first floor for those that may have trouble with stairs. It is right off the kitchen. Full bed, very small, with little porthole windows taken from an actual boat when being built.

Penobscot Bay and the Stonington archipelago is known for some of the best kayaking and boating on the east coast. There are numerous gorgeous islands, some of which you can hike and picnic on, there is also plentiful marine wildlife including; eagles, osprey, sea ducks, seals, and porpoises to watch.

The Innkeepers

Pres du Port is a special place.   We are excited that our old special friends, Matt and Kerry, will reopen the B & B and host new guests again this year.  Matt and Kerry fell in love with the house and the island more than a decade ago.  Matt is a carpenter and over the winter of 2019 he and Kerry renovated and re-envisioned the house. For years in their home in Massachusetts, Matt, Kerry and their two children have hosted touring cyclists but last year was their first season as B & B Innkeepers.  They love sharing this beautiful island and having the experience of traveling without actually going anywhere.
