About this property
Blueprint Suite at Spofford Lodge
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.

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.
