Comfortable teak furnishings, and waterfront sporting amenities make this location one of the first stops for guests each season.

    Lighthouses

    Some see lighthouses as symbols of refuge and strength, literal beacons in the night. One visit to an actual Maine lighthouse can provide the sort of “in the moment” memory that gives temporary refuge on the most hectic of days. Close your eyes, smell the ocean, and hear the waves. Burnt Island Lighthouse is located next to Spruce Point Inn and is available to our guests via the Novelty, the Inn’s private launch Bright Line or complimentary kayaks from the Inn dock.
