Nestled in historic Phippsburg, site of the first English settlement in 1607, Kingfisher Cove has long stirred the imaginations of artists, writers, and travelers alike. The Main Inn, surrounded by three cottages perched above Round Cove, serves as the heart of the property. Here, seabirds, including the kingfisher and the majestic heron, visit while the ebb and flow of the tide mark the passage of time under the gaze of both sun and moon. This landscape has inspired countless artists throughout the ages. Among them, John Marin, from his first summer in 1914, to other artists including Carl Schmalz, revered Bowdoin art professor and museum director, as well as Will Barnet, Judi Betts, Ellie Barnet, and more. Come experience the timeless allure of this coastal landscape and create your own Maine seaside retreat.
