Can I get married on House Island?

It is hard to think of a better place to get married or celebrate a special occasion. The island can host groups of 500+ people in the largest event tent site and has multiple other sites suitable for tents, making the island the perfect place for spectacular events. It’s also an ideal spot for a romantic honeymoon. We can arrange practically anything to help mark a special occasion—fireworks, fabulous floral arrangements, a nonstop feast with an in-home private chef, quintessential Maine lobster bake, you tell us what you want, and we’ll make it happen.

Can I use the house or the island for day use or corporate events?

Depending on the event, day use of an outdoor space is possible, however we don’t allow day-use events that will negatively impact the quality of the stay for our overnight guests. We have hosted many large corporate functions for Mercedes Benz, Fox News, and others groups that required ultimate privacy for multi-day executive retreats and/or corporate events. For inquires please contact us via email sales@prenticehospitality.com.

Can I bring my own boat?

If you are the captain of your own vessel and would like to stay with us, please reach out to discuss how we can accommodate your stay. House Island has moorings that can be rented by the night. The dock space is limited and is reserved for transportation drop-offs and pick-ups, service and emergency vessels. All guests arriving by boat must notify House Island prior to their arrival.
