Rhapsody in Blue Room at Linekin Bay Bed & Breakfast

Our "Rhapsody in Blue" room derives its name not only from the exquisite water views of Linekin Bay, but also from the changing colors within the room.

The room literally changes colors as the sunlight enters. In the morning the walls are white with the angles of the eaves Wickham gray, but as the afternoon sun arrives, you will notice different colors.
See if you can explain it!

The Waverly bedding and valances add to the decor, which works in harmony to say, "Sit, relax and enjoy the ambience." Decorative stenciling on the walls by artist Hillary Bartlett of West Harbor Studio reflect the flowers and colors of the bedspread and add charm and warmth to the room.

The Rhapsody in Blue room is filled with elegant antique oak and ash furniture. The furnishings include a queen-size antique oak bed with a beautiful headboard, antique oak bureau and mirror, wardrobe, ash tables, rocking chair and an upholstered chaise lounge.

On cooler summer evenings or during the autumn and winter, simply flick the switch on the Vermont style fireplace and savor a crackling fire as you curl up and enjoy the warm, restful atmosphere.

This room was actually two separate rooms at one time, and has been opened up to make one spacious room. Part of this room leads us to believe that at one time it was set up for the house servants to use.

When the house was built in 1878 a staircase from the kitchen lead into this room. The servants could begin preparing the morning meal without disturbing the occupants of the master bedroom. The staircase is now used solely as a fire exit and leads into the dining room.

The hallway pictured to the right leads to a wardrobe and just to the right lies the private, full bathroom.

The large bath of the Rhapsody in Blue room is stunning with the decorative stenciling done by Mary Sue Weeks of Decorative Illusions.

Beautiful, blue morning glories cascade over the walls and ceiling and compliment the wallpaper and custom-made shower curtain. The bath has a tub & shower, a sink vanity with B-board doors, and shelves for storage. Lovely rugs hooked by Marti's 87 year old friend, Cora, cover the floor of this room and other rooms in the inn.

Thanks for the special treatment while staying at the beautiful Linekin Bay B&B. We have never felt so comfortable and so "at home" while on the road. Our trip to Maine would have been close to a washout had you not provided us with such a pleasant experience. (If we’d had my truck, Shirley would have stolen that bed.)
Thanks,
Lance Hunt.
