Have you ever heard your parents or grandparents reminisce about vacations at a rambling old hotel somewhere on the coast of New England? Have you ever gazed at a fading postcard of elegantly dressed ladies strolling by the sea beneath white parasols and wondered what it was like back in those days?

At the Five Gables Inn, in East BoothBay, Maine, that golden time doesn't seem so long ago.

For more that a century, the Five Gables Inn has perched on a garden-framed hillside just down the lane from the East Boothbay General Store. It still has a broad verandah with a hammock and plenty of comfortable chairs overlooking a quiet cove where lobster boats tug at their moorings. And guests still linger in the welcoming wing chairs in front of a big fireplace in the common room.

A century ago, however, guests were not surprised to find chamber pots in their rooms, Today, those early summer folks would indeed be surprised to find a private bath adjoining every guest room - and that would be only one of so many things that would make them exclaim in awe. For at The Five Gables Inn, while the best of yesterday has been lovingly preserved, it has been complimented by all the modern amenities today's discriminating traveler expects to find in three-star lodging.
