Event Policies

Our policies relating to our venue and private events.

Event Cancellations

If the event is cancelled 90 days prior to the event date, the host will forfeit the 50% initial deposit for the venue and 50% of the accommodation fees. In the event the host cancels the event for any reason inside 90 days prior to the event, the entire fee will be forfeited as liquidated damages for cancellation.

Event Deposits

In order to book, we require a 50% deposit for the venue and the accommodation fees, along with a security deposit once the contract is signed. 

Rescheduled Events

In the event the host determines that a postponement of an event is in order, a rescheduling fee will be assessed. The host also understands and agrees that it is their responsibility to work with the venue to find a mutually agreeable rescheduled date.

Event Property Damage

Hosts must provide, at their own expense, a Certificate of General Liability Insurance including Liquor Liability in the amount of $1,000,000 and provided within two weeks of signing the contract. In addition, a security deposit will be owed 90 days prior to the event date. Hosts will be responsible for any damage caused on site.

Event Refunds

A refund of the security deposit will be issued within 10 days after the wedding.

What does the event rental fee include?

There is a 50% deposit due upon booking with the balance due 180 days before your wedding. The rental fee includes use of the 12 acre property, which includes the barn, the deck, the adjacent lawn, the pasture overlooking the pond, and other areas of the property.

Do you allow children?

We gladly welcome well-behaved children! Most of our rooms, with the exception of room 7, are only able to accommodate a total of two guests max. Up to 4 guests can be accommodated in room 7 but we ask that the children are age appropriate to climb a ladder into a loft space.

We need to do some work, do you have WiFi?

Yes, we do have WiFi, but due to being on an island in Maine, we often find that our WiFi signal doesn't come through all the time. We have added several Nodes to the inn to assist with WiFi. Most people are able to get work done while here.

Do you have a restaurant on the property?

At this time we do not have a restaurant at the inn, however, there are several local restaurants we think you’ll love! We've provided a list of local recommendations in our local guide. Be sure to check out our events page for pop-up dinners and our summer pizza night schedule.
