|  THE
INNKEEPER
Elizabeth
Knowlton, the innkeeper of The Inn at Bath since July, 2004.
My heart has been in innkeeping for a long while - before
returning to Maine, I pampered and fed guests in our fly-fishing
and mountain vacation lodge in Montana, and I've been dreaming
of finding the perfect Maine Coast Bed and Breakfast ever
since. Though raised in both Central and Southeastern
Massachusetts, a mix of rural farmland and incredible seacoast,
my childhood summers also included visits to Blue Hill, Maine
with my grandparents. The tug of Maine's unique coastline
and landscape has been present in me ever since!
Prior to taking up Innkeeping, I graduated from the University
of New Hampshire and earned my Masters of Education from Antioch,
after which I became a Child and Family Therapist in the school
department while living in southern Maine. In 1987, my husband
and I moved to Buenos Aires and for the next three years I
taught Middle School Mathematics and we travelled - from the
Beagle Channel to Machu Pichu and the Galapagos, and many,
many amazing places in between. Eventually, it was time to
return to the states and, after a couple of years of living
and teaching in Santa Fe, we found ourselves in Montana, making
our innkeeping dream a reality.
Upon returning to Maine in 2000, my Bed & Breakfast search
began. Meanwhile, I worked in Real Estate, as an independent
contractor, and finally as a public relations director.
And then Nick Bayard, the former innkeeper, called to say
he was selling The Inn at Bath!
Today,
I am surrounded by family and friends and am doing what I
love....innkeeping! Come visit soon, and experience
first hand the wonders of Mid-coast Maine and the lovely Inn
at Bath.
