The Place: ME B&B and Accommodations


Home Page	The Place	The Rooms	Midcoast Maine	Reservations

The Place Le Vatout is part of a sprawling farm house anchored in the granite landscape right where the Medomac River meets the ocean and the tide laps at the waterfall twice a day. Built in the 1830's, the big house with its four guestrooms is connected to the little house, our private quarters, which in turn are connected to the backhouse and a grand barn with an artist studio, gallery and darkroom. A short walk from the village of Waldoboro, Le Vatout hides behind its trees; like most special things in life it’s easy to miss. Store your gear, your bikes and your skis in the garage (it’s that wheathered old building, obscured by the blooms of a climbing hydrangea) and step inside for a spell. The garden is lovely, huge, romantic and quite private with plenty of nooks and crannies where you can relax, write, read a book or simply snooze in the hammock. After a day of exploring the shoreline there’s nothing better than to fire up the stove in the sauna in back or to sit around the table under the weeping willow, drink lemonade and play cards. A grape-trellised tea house invites you to linger, a giant elm tree tempts you with an old-fashioned tire swing, and there’s always a refreshing breeze from the water which will relax and reinvigorate you at the same time. At Le Vatout, your options to enjoy your vacation are as limitless as your imagination with nature’s surprises thrown in for free – like one of the resident bald eagles you might spot circling high above or a trilling flock of bohemian waxwings that favor our wild roses – and at night you can count the stars. ****** For directions use Google Map (MapQuest doesn't know our street) or click here. Just a short note to say how much we all enjoyed being with you at your new B&B!! It was such fun, very comfortable, and your cooking was super – we enjoyed every bite. — Dan Ely, Far Hills, NJ It was a pleasure to meet you, talk to you and devour your wonderful food. We all were very impressed with you and I hope I will be back next year. Thank you for coming to America! — Tom Tiffany, Pottersville, NJ	...and its Inhabitants Le Vatout has been a Bed & Breakfast for ages, but much like its new owners, it recently reinvented itself. Dominika Spetsmann, your innkeeper, is a semi-retired education executive and serial entrepreneur who began writing a few years ago – and never looked back. Her first novel, Flux, was nominated as a finalist in the William Faulkner Creative Writing Competition and her essays are gathering praise as well. To Le Vatout she brings her unconditional love of people and her joy in cooking for them, infusing the flavors of her childhood in Germany with the zest of her life. Linda Mahoney, resident artist, has been a fine arts photographer for almost forty years, that is when she’s not growing things, inside or out. Her lyrical landscapes and curious still lifes are in the collection of many museums. Linda's luminous silverprints grace the house; along with her quirky sculptures and assemblages they’re invitations to see beyond the obvious. Finally freed from the spatial constraints of the city, she’s already begun to release her magic onto the garden, turning it into a creative experience that changes every day. There is a dog, Beatrice, and a cat named Yodi. They, too, love their new home - though it didn’t take a move or middle age for them to learn how to slow down and appreciate life.
