The Wooster family farmhouse was built at the head of Crockett Cove in 1843. The guest house was built in 1964, and renovated in 2025. The guest house is the residence available by the week from Sunday to Sunday.
The guest house faces south with a lovely water view and summer breeze. One can hear the reversing falls at all times except high tide when you can slip over the falls and kayak in the completely conserved natural area, with the largest salt marsh on the island. There you may see Bald Eagles, Osprey nests, Herons, Eiders, Guillemots, Kingfishers and other birds in this area.
You may leave kayaks or rowing shells on the shore.
There are several walking trails near by on Vinalhaven Land Trust and Town owned properties. The island of North Haven can be accessed by driving about 3 miles to the northern end of Vinalhaven and taking a boat taxi across the Thoroughfare. The small town of North Haven has several restaurants, galleries and shops, including the acclaimed Nebo Lodge which serves only locally sourced food.
I live in the farmhouse and am available for any questions or help as needed.

This is a unique guesthouse in a truly beautiful location. The kitchen is excellent, the space is airy and there are countless art books and cozy chairs.
Vinalhaven is a great island town filled with year round residents who truly look out for each other.
Things we liked: swimming in the quarries, kayaking, nature walks and hikes sponsored by the land trust, buying lobsters at the “gas station”, biking, shopping in a few high end shops, the farmers market (island made goat milk soap), etc. And we really liked our host, Elin, who is wonderful.
