Built in 1901, the historic Buck's Harbor Inn spent the final decades of the 20th century as the beating heart of Buck's Harbor. Under innkeepers Ann and Peter Ebeling, the house welcomed sailors, offering a hot meal, comfortable bed, and genuine Maine hospitality. Locals gathered here too, for food, drink, and easy conversation. The Inn later became the Ebeling family residence-and today, a rare historic offering on the Blue Hill Peninsula. The property is located in the heart of the village-steps from the waterfront The welcoming open porch is the perfect perch for watching village life unfold. Inside, the foyer opens to a staircase and one of two parlors. The first floor also offers a formal dining room, a spacious kitchen with commercial upgrades, and an enclosed, heated sun porch with a 1/2 bath. Back stairs off the kitchen once led to the maids' quarters. The layout on the 2nd and 3rd floors easily accommodated guests in the inn's working years and offers flexibility today with its 6 bedrooms, maids' quarters, 2-FBs, 1-1/2B and sitting room.
