I would not personally want to live in a house like this but felt privileged to be able to stay in it for a night. Quaint is hardly the word. Our bedroom floor had settled so much that walking was almost a balance challenge. From claw foot bathtubs to spinning wheels to rocking horses, the house is filled with antiques.... More

The Owen House is my idea of the perfect B&B. I’ve never stayed in one I’ve enjoyed as much and wish we could have stayed for a month. Though the house is an historic treasure, with a spectacular water view, generous grounds and 100+ year-old trees, its comfortable lack of pretension adds greatly to the charm. Jan and Joyce are...

We spent 2 nights at the Owen House in Sept-2012. We found this historic building charming - full of lovely antiques, fabulous original art, and fascinating collectibles from the region as well as from other countries. Gorgeous handmade quilts! Every time I walked around, I noticed something interesting that I hadn't noticed before. There are several sitting rooms, one of... More

We arrived at the Owen House to find a beautiful home and grounds with breathtaking views. The beds, however, were incredibly uncomfortable and we had a difficult time sleeping. My daughter was given an equally uncomfortable cot. The toilet was vintage and had to be filled up before flushing. It sometimes took two or three times to empty it. We... More

The Owen House is a charming old building without Wifi or TV. Some beds have modern matterasses and some quite old - or so it felt The staff are generally unsmiling with the exception of Julie. The grounds of the Owen House are beautiful but the views one can have without actually staying at the Owen House. The food choices... More

Owen House is a very nice country inn; a house originally built in 1835. The rooms are nicely decorated and furnished, and reasonably sized, each w/ its' own bathroom. The breakfast served was of average quality; very good but not gourmet. We would go back and do recommend the inn. BTW .. bes was very comfortable.

I stayed at the Owen House about 10 years ago and, interestingly, had a similar reaction to that of many of the reviewers here: Wonderful old house if a bit in need of some upgrades (new/better furniture, improved bathrooms probably would suffice); fantastic breakfast food; and then . . . Bed and breakfasts are an important part of the tourism... More

Disturbed by the comments of the two previous reviews, I am eager to correct the misapprehensions they may leave on the reader. As is clear from the website, this place is comfortable, beautifully sited and welcoming, as were the people we met on the island. The breakfast, which is indeed at a fixed time, was more than ample, seconds of... More

Albeit a historic property, Owen House is in deplorable condition and the rooms lack most creature comforts. The mattresses are old and uncomfortable, the toilet seat was cracked, and there were many pitted spots on the floor covered up by rugs. The owner and staff were not accommodating in any way and were downright unfriendly. We would have been more... More
