There are certain places that feel like they’ve existed exactly as they should for generations, and Spruce Point Inn is one of them. Tucked away just outside of Boothbay Harbor, this waterfront resort feels like stepping into the New England summer that lives in old photographs and classic films.
Bonjour!
I’m Katie, a lover of travel, classic fashion, and well-set tables. This space is where I gather what I’m wearing, cooking, reading, and planning, inspired by coastal living and a quiet appreciation for French charm.
