The Basics

SELECT REGISTRY MEMBER SINCE 2023

Originally constructed in 1790 for the Cuthbert Family, this antebellum-style home served as a residence during the summer social season. While welcoming visits from other prominent families and political figures, their refreshing retreat along the bay was perfectly situated to capture cool, gentle coastal breezes. Over time, the home has been lovingly preserved and meticulously restored into the grand, historic inn it is today.

What an incredible stay we had at Cuthbert House! My girlfriend and I stayed in the Mariner Suite which provided two bedrooms so we could have our privacy.

We stayed at Cuthbert House to celebrate our 25th anniversary and are so glad we did. The inn is beautifully decorated and our room was comfortable and had a lovely view of the water. We really enjoyed the cocktail hour, sharing yummy snacks and chatting with our fellow guests. Such a beautiful, welcoming place, with truly excellent service from Robert, Karen, and all of the staff. We'll be back!
