Rockmere Lodge Bed & Breakfast

Rockmere Lodge, a seaside Victorian shingle-style inn built in 1899, has eight guest rooms, all of which except one have a "majestic view of the Atlantic".

The appeal of the lodge's turn-of-the-century atmosphere is enhanced by its unique location in a quiet residential neighborhood within a stones throw of Marginal Way and Ogunquit Beach.

Rockmere is decorated to reflect the aura of the early 1900s when the wealthy began building palatial second homes along the Maine coast. One of the most popular spots in the inn, besides the sitting room with its warming fireplace, and the wrap-around ocean-front porch, is a "look out" on the third floor. From there, guests have a panoramic view of the ever-changing ocean.

In the extensive gardens there are strawberries, mint (for afternoon tea), bright sunflowers, a kitchen garden, and many of the flowers and shrubs typically found on the grounds of the summer "cottages" of the early 1900s.

The innkeepers personal touches are evident everywhere:  Outside there are groupings of Adirondack chairs, arranged to give guests privacy as well as views. Inside, each room has a distinct look, and is named after a friend or former owner of the inn.
