This historical building was originally built and operated as a school in the early 1900's. The Freemasons took ownership of it in the 60's and in late 2022, we purchased it to give it a new lease on life. Lovingly restored from the ground up, we have taken what we believe are the original school rooms on the second floor and transformed them into 3 luxury studios, catering to guests that want to enjoy where they rest and sleep as much as they are enjoying exploring the mid-coast of Maine. The freestanding bathtub, a state of the art coffee machine and high quality bed linens and seasonal comforters make this studio a perfect place to unwind after a day hiking in Acadia National Park and to plan your next adventure. Bucksport itself is a sleepy town with unparalleled views of Penobscot Narrows Bridge and Fort Knox. The waterfront is just one block away. Walk the delightful harbor walk with a coffee from the quaint bookshop, or grab a treat at the great local ice-cream parlor.

The lodging was very clean, modern and elegantly decorated. The owners renovated this property for five star
accommodations. The location is within driving distance to all Downeast amenities.
This place was beautiful! Very cute, cozy, and modern inside. You can tell there’s a lot of work and love that went into making this a great place to stay. Great location along our drive up/down the coast of Maine! Lisa was quick to respond to questions about our stay. We loved every minute we spent here and would definitely stay there again!
Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
This property is very spacious, comfortable, beautifully remodeled, and elegant. No expense was spared! The surrounding area is wonderful and off the beaten path. We will return!
If you are anywhere near Bangor, Maine, I suggest staying here. Especially if you like the finer things, like to see beautiful decorating and quaint details. The bed was awesome, the laundry was wonderful and the bathroom was like relaxing in a high end resort....
This is a must stay! The host was very communicative and welcoming.
This was a very impressive renovated school house. The suite was very spacious with modern amenities that were integrated into the traditional architecture. It was like a luxury suite in a historic building. Cute town that we didn’t get to spend much time in. Close to Bangor where we were going to a show at the Maine Savings Amphitheatre. Hosts were very nice and helpful.
Above and beyond expectation. We booked the blueprint suite as a place to stay between Portland airport and Acadia National Park. Acadia is less than an hour away so completely do able for a day trip. The town of Bucksport is quite adorable and quaint with a nice water front walk.
The space couldn’t be more perfect for a couple to relax, the space was designed so well it felt like a destination for our trip rather than a place just to sleep. Many little luxuries throughout the suite made our time there so comfortable. My husband is not easy to impress but he couldn’t stop talking about the flawless renovations and on and on about drywall being perfect…lol. Didn’t need much during our stay but communication was always quick and helpful. This place is a gem off the beaten path.

About the host
Hosted by Lisa Gant
My husband Alex and I are originally from the UK and moved to Maine 8 years ago after travelling the globe in an old campervan. Since moving to Maine, we have renovated several properties and this building was our latest endeavor. We have a somewhat unique style for Maine and wanted to bring clean, modern contemporary design to sit alongside the original features of this impressive property to create a relaxing, comfortable environment for those visiting the area. We wanted to offer some of the home comforts we have grown accustomed to, like excellent coffee, decent wine glasses and a luxurious bath tub to our guests, and we hope that the thoughtful design and care that we have taken in providing this will offer you one of your most memorable stays during your time in Mid-Coast Maine.
Why they chose this property
Bucksport, Maine is a very peaceful town right on the Penobscot river. Our property is one block away from the waterfront with its walkway, perfect for ambling along and enjoying unparalleled views of The Penosbcot Narrows Bridge and Fort Knox. Lobster boat tours can take you out on the water, you can stand in line for the local famous ice cream take out window, grab a glass of wine in a secret little courtyard bar, buy coffee and books at the local bookstore or take in a movie, all just steps away from the property.
Bucksport is also an incredible central location for exploring Mid-coast Maine with Belfast, Bangor and Ellsworth all around 25 minutes drive, and with Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park just 35 minutes away. An easy commute to a bustling area with respite at the end of your day of exploring the rugged coast and picture perfect towns.
