PROPERTY PROFILE AND HISTORY
The Inn at Blueberry Hill was orginally the Hammett Family farm, settled in 1691. In 1949, Lewis and Louise Tate King bought the land, renovated the antique farm house and in 1953 opened Blueberry Hill Farm Inn. Louise Tate King was the chef and Lewis presided over every detail for his guests, a small, select group. In 1967 a fire destroyed most of the old farmhouse, but King rebuilt and opened for business the next summer. After 40 years of consummate, quirky hospitality, King sold the Inn to Bob and Carolyn Burgess in December 1994. The Burgesses renovated and expanded the Inn, then sold it to Sam and Rae Ann Mandell at the beginning of the new millennium.

The graceful, clean lines of the renovated Inn fit comfortably in the landscape which is rich in natural assets - high bush blueberries, fiddlehead ferns, fascinating varieties of moths and butterflies, deer, wild turkey, and guinea hen. The Main House Lot is defined by a stone wall which includes the Inn, gardens, fitness room, and tennis court. All six buildings are eloquent in their simplicity, the traditional architecture blending with the surroundings, while pastels and tones of white create a peaceful atmosphere within. Ceiling fans and white cotton bed linens promise comfort. Hand painted furniture and the works of local artists are scattered throughout. An understated elegance pervades the comfortable and casual feeling here.

INN GUEST ROOMS
Land and sea set the tone for the inn's interiors: simple, open and sun-drenched, but never lacking for some souvenir from the morning's hike or a surprise from the farmer's market. Pine and whitewash, bleached cotton duck, and the work of Island artisan's furnish the rooms.

There are twenty-five rooms with one to three-bedroom suites and cottages, nearly all with private terraces and balconies. To view room tariffs, click here.
