Rising Sun and Sound of the Sea Houses
​Are New, Spacious, and Airy!

Our environment inside both houses is protected by the following processes:·
  • Proof of the first two Covid shots must be valid. 
  • Masks are optional.
  • Our Whole-House Air Filtration System provides four complete exchanges of inside air with outside air per day.
  • Our cleaning staff sanitizes all surfaces, such as kitchen prep tables and sinks, doorknobs, telephone handsets, and bathroom fixtures.​
  • Bed and bath linens and shower curtain liners are all washed in a state-of-the-art laundry on Bar Harbor that caters to the hotels and B&Bs that rent to many of the 3.44 million visitors who come to the island each summer. The key to their effective control of pathogens – viral, bacterial, or other – is the ozone generator that throughout the wash, rinse and dry cycles bombards the contents with ozone.
  • ​Ozone is the most effective means of killing pathogens, and unlike chlorine-based sanitizing, leaves no harmful residues. (Ozone is used by over 125 American municipalities to purify their water supplies.)
​​I believe these measures will provide all of us an environment conducive to our safe, happy enjoyment of our Writing Retreat in Bar Harbor. Don't hesitate to contact me if you need more information.
