It's Spring Again

As I set here looking at the waning snow of winter and with anticipation of the green that will soon be appearing I write this blog. Winter started early here in the state of Maine for us, on the coast we didn’t get a lot of snow, just a number of small storms. Melting in between let us see open fields and lawns this winter.

Spring is going to bring changes to the White House, changes in colors of rooms and amenities. The gardens were redone last year and should look fabulous for our spring and summer wedding and events. I would book now if you are intereste in haveing an event with us. This charming old New England mansion is a rare treasure, not only to live in but also to visit; updated but not destroyed as many old homes in this part of the world have been, a true historic treasure.

Events for this spring, summer and fall may be found on the event calendar at www.belfastmaine.org email and have them send you a Belfast Area Guide Book for more information on the area. For more information on the city go to www.cityofbelfast.org or for state information and travel planner go to www.visitmaine.com/guidebook/request.php

I am an experienced Predential Real Estate Agent give me a call if I can help you relocate or to send you information on your new home or vacation home needs. Maine is a wonderful place to live and play.

It's Fall Again!

It is now fall and it has been a long and productive season, and for that we thank our guests. We wish that all will have a safe and happy holiday, and a blessed New Year.

We are already planning some new features when we begin our new season, {we are never closed}, so keep us in mind for the winter season.

I will be posting all the recipes that were requested this season on this blog, so keep watching.


We have a new cookbook in the works and will be doing our normal winter dinning starting in November.

Keep in touch and best wishes,

Terry and Robert

Terry & Bob,
Sheila & I just wanted to drop a line to let you know that we had a great time this week. We loved the house and the breakfasts, and of course the hosts. Thanks again for all of your help. We had a great time in Belfast and the Maine coast in general. In fact, we're already planning our next chance to get into Camden and the Rhumb Line! Thanks again.

We Loved Every Minute !

Hi Bob and Terry,
Just wanted to send you (finally) a few of the many photos I took when my sister and I stayed at The White House in June........we loved every minute of our stay(s)- and especially the two of you! You are two very special guys and it's no wonder that you have made your B&B such a welcoming, comfortable and beautiful place. Not to mention that between the two of you, you can do ANYTHING! I'm so impressed with your many talents, but mostly with the goodness and kindness within that shines through so clearly. The gourmet breakfasts were delightful and your garden was an inspiration. If and when our hectic lives ever calm down, we want to plan a future visit - Belfast is such a beguiling place.
Fondly,
The Murphy Sisters

Beautiful Belfast Maine

Located in the beautiful Mid-coast region of Maine Belfast sits on scenic Passagassawakeag River and the Penobscot Bay. Belfast has five gateways leading the adventurous from the sea to the wilderness and mountains beyond.
The historic town with its beautiful homes are an attraction for summer travelers. If you are visiting us you can take a boat ride and enjoy scenes of Maine's magnificent coast, swim in the bay, Lake St. George or Swan Lake.
One can visit the area's six state parks for hiking or bikeing. Shops abound and we have may art galleries and antique shops. One must spend some time with us to enjoy our town, don't rush, we don't.
So if you want cultural treasures, maritime traditon, fresh salt air, autumn color, summer green, or winter white, come see us.
