Oakland House Seaside Inn and Cottages

Basic and rustic accommodations but the location absolutely cannot be beat. Two beaches for guests are private and secluded with stellar views. The property is great for enjoying the lawns and trails. And you're moments away from everything the Blue Hill Peninsula and Deer Isle have to offer.

It was beautiful and quiet! A great getaway. No TVs. It’s a place to relax and be with each other to talk and play games, hike, kayak, etc OR to unwind and be alone and read, go for walks, go birding, do a puzzle…

We had a fantastic stay at the Oakland House. We were warmly greeted upon arrival & even given a bag of treats for our dog who joined us in one of the dog friendly cabins. The cabin itself was beautiful. We appreciated the full kitchen, fireplace & front porch looking out onto Penobscot Bay. The grounds are impeccable & the fact it has ocean views & beach access is amazing. We especially enjoyed the hiking trail right on the property with stunning views. A real highlight. Highly recommend & look forward to being back!

Beautiful spot even on a cloudy cold day. Would be just amazing for a weddding - lots of little cabins and great main house. Rooms small well appointed and comfortable. Authentic Maine and friendly service.

The Stonington room was clean and decorated well. Both of Oakland's private beaches had beautiful views and were so peaceful.

Looking to get away from it all- to step back in time among the prettiest location ever- to making memories to last a lifetime and meet the friendliest people ever- well then this would be place for you. We spent the last weekend here in Flagstaff cottage with a wonderful porch we couldn't get enough of and our children and other family members had rooms at the inn. Our son got married in Stonington and we were able to use the inn for prep before and relaxing and gathering afterwards. It was magical!!! The weekend of course was to be special- but our stay at these wonderful accommodations made it even more so. The staff is so helpful and welcoming, the beach is a place of quiet and serene beauty, and the area continued to surprise us as around each bend we found another spectacular sight.

Amazing location, amazing cabin and welcoming staff. Wish we could have stayed for a month.

The breakfast was spectacular! The site is very beautiful. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. A wonderful stay.

We rented a cottage here and can't wait to come back! The grounds are lovely, quiet, and well maintained with gorgeous views. The cottage was a delightful spot with lots to explore nearby.

This is a truly special place. Location is spectacular. Authentic Maine experience

Beautiful stay! Thanks for having us for a beautiful Maine weekend!

Way too much to put up with. My stay at Oakland House, for a nearby wedding, left a bad taste. The main issue was the lack of accessibility after hours. The incident involved a gigantic insect, apparently lodged in the lamp, that careened off the walls of my room. These insects are apparently native to Maine, but it was impossible to sleep--and it was terrorizing. It took 90 minutes before the thing landed on the floor and I could kill it. I called the help numbers listed, but all went to voicemail. No one was available. This egregious lapse in security was completely unacceptable, especially given that Oakland House is in the middle of nowhere.

When I posted a review to TripAdvisor, describing the incident, the owner responded immediately to say that they had remedied the situation by adding another help number. I am glad they did this, but the owners never reached out to me personally, even after I wrote several emails and called. The proper thing to do was to comp me for that night's stay as a show of responsibility.

This sense of cheapness pervades Oakland House. The fees are on a luxury level, yet services are poor. No one to help with luggage. Noisy portable AC. No closet, and the armoire did not have a bar on which I could hang clothes. The lack of a restaurant was written off by the owners as "oh, the chef left at the last minute," a victim stance. Hire another and pay the person decently. The coffee that was provided--by a rude person--was insufficient, as were the totally unappetizing plastic-wrapped, mass-market muffins.

That said, the rooms were clean and the bathroom large. Nice towels. Mainly, not enough of anything, including staff.
