A Bit of History

Originally built in 1832 by the Hallet family, the Spouter Inn’s main building was created as a summer home to escape the everyday routine of life in upstate New York. Not only a place to relax and enjoy the summers, but their home also helped to create memories for many in the community as they held concerts and dances in the second-floor dance hall. The decades of fun and frivolity were many and the home evolved over the years. At times it was a place for migrant workers to rent rooms while harvesting local crops or working in the fishing/lobstering industry.

In 1986, the building was renovated, updating the structure, upgrading its function, yet keeping the feel of its “golden days” of old. A beautiful carriage house was added with the custom design of artistic post & beam woodwork. With ceilings of Maine Hemlock and floors of Ash, each guest room and private bath has its own personality demonstrated by the use of wood finish: Mahogany, Bird’s Eye Maple, Cherry, Pine, and Oak.
