About

The Owen House is a large colonial inn on a headland overlooking Passamaquoddy Bay. It has a panoramic view of the islands on both sides of the Canada/U.S. border. It faces southwest, the rooms are large and sunny, and you can see the water from every room. Admiral William Fitzwilliam Owen, the son of the Welsh Captain who was granted the island in 1769, built the Owen House in 1835. The Owen family ran the island of Campobello as a feudal estate for nearly a century. The old house still has most of the original construction, furniture from the 1800's, quilts and fireplaces, which add to its warmth and charm. There are nine guest rooms and seven baths. The second floor rooms each have a private bath and the third floor rooms (the servants had the best view) share two baths. Guests have the use of several large sitting rooms on the first floor, all of which open up onto porches overlooking the sea. Several people usually gather around a fire in the evening.
