Island inn once the site of a 19th century fort and an artists colony
If you’re a history buff, or you just love resorts that incorporate their storied past into their present, stay at the Inn at Diamond Cove. A short ferry ride from Portland’s historic Old Port District, the elegant inn was once the site of Fort McKinley, built in the 1890s to protect Portland’s harbor and Casco Bay during the Spanish-American War. The inn, with 44 deluxe rooms and suites, is in the fort’s former barracks. Before the fort, the area hosted an artists colony visited by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Harriet Beecher Stowe. It is still known as a tranquil getaway. Modern amenities include a popular restaurant, fitness room, tennis courts, heated pool and cabana bar, hot tub, and, of course, meticulous service.
