Great for a solo trip

Amazing location, you can walk to Main St in seconds. Overall great place. I would note that the bathroom has a curtain in place of a door, so make sure you are on pretty close terms with whoever you are staying here with.

About the host

Hosted by Cecelia Dove

Host profile image
I've been an owner of Captain Hugo's Guest House since 2002. The history of both the house and the town has always held a fascination for me and I love to give travelers the opportunity see it for themselves. Rockland is a wonderful town, rich in history and art and I am sure you will enjoy it as much as I do.

Why they chose this property

The location and the quaint feel of the guest room. Oh, and Edward Hopper stayed here in 1926. See unique benefits below.
Low key, no pressure stay. Let yourselves in and out, private entrance and bath. No contact, but if you see me in the yard weeding, I'll say hello and ask if you need anything.

What makes this property unique

For those travelers who have an interest in art, Edward Hopper used the living room (circa 1926) as subject matter in a painting titled 'Mrs. Achorns Parlor' which now belongs to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The living room in the painting is now the guest suite. He apparently had a fascination with New England boarding houses and stayed here with Mrs. Achorn who was the owner at the time and rented out rooms.
