In the past, this inn had operated as an 8 room inn for guests, and could even be configured to 9 guest rooms with private baths (see layout attached). Just a short stroll down Washington Street…this lovely inn is within an easy walking distance to Bath’s downtown shops, restaurants, galleries and museums. This is a turnkey business, just awaiting its new owner!
Known as the “City of Ships” for its storied history of all the sailing vessels that were built in the Bath shipyards…and currently home to the Bath Iron Works and the popular Heritage Days Festival…this beautiful midcoast destination has a vibrant downtown historic district that is well known for its 19th century architecture, shops and art galleries. The city of Bath includes several nature preserves that are protected by the Kennebec Estuary Land Trust, and its proximity to Boothbay Harbor, Brunswick, Portland and the stunning Maine coastline…make it a location that has long been popular with tourists.
