Between 1838 and 1840, sea captain George Washington Tukey built a Greek Revival addition to an old 1790 cape cod house, making a spacious, comfortable home for his bride, Eliza Hitchcock. This sea captain's home is named for the elegant clipper ship the Flying Cloud. Newly launched in 1851, she set a speed record on her maiden voyage from the east coast to the gold fields in the west coast. Traveling around Cape Horn, she arrived in California in 89 days and eight hours. Come stay with us and enjoy the gracious comfort created by Captain Tukey so long ago.
From the casually elegant living room, with it's triple hung floor to ceiling windows and warming fireplace to the serene screen porch overlooking the gardens with birdfeeders and backyard hammock, The Flying Cloud welcomes you. Enjoy the informal Harbor Room with a TV and a cozy fireplace. On the second floor is an extensive library to browse-when you find something of interest, relax on the couch and spend some quiet time reading.
Take your first cup of morning coffee out onto the front deck and bask in the morning sun while you watch the lobster and pleasure boats in the busy harbor on the Damariscotta River. Weather permitting, you may even have a full breakfast served as you enjoy the view. Relax as you plan your day.

One of the very special experiences in a bed and breakfast stay is the anticipation of the first meal of the day. You will awake to the aroma of freshly perked coffee and sizzling bacon. Fresh fruit and homemade muffins and breads served with homemade jams will start your breakfast. The hot entrŽe changes daily and will always be a pleasant experience. One day it may be roasted portabello mushroom caps stuffed with ricotta scrambled eggs served with sun-dried tomato yogurt sauce on the side; the next, stuffed French toast with fresh strawberry sauce and |
