Old Shoe Inn
This unique building was constructed in the late 1800's as a shoemaker's cabin and we had it remodeled in 2019 as a contemporary guest cottage. It overlooks our beautiful garden, and is at the base of the Old Burial Hill where Revolutionary heroes are buried. Less than a five minute walk to Gas House Beach, you can watch the sunrise, go for a swim and during low tide walk to Gerry Island. It's a 10 minute walk to shops and restaurants. The historic area around our cottage abounds with charm.
