Now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Moses Webster House was built circa 1873 by granite magnate Moses Webster. This historic home has French Victorian flair - slate mansard roof, a tin ceiling, and marble mantles. Innkeepers Lee and Donna Payne moved their family and "homestead" to Vinalhaven in order to renovate the Moses Webster House and share it with travelers and history enthusiasts.

Vinalhaven is a quiet, scenic lobstering village. It offers an array of scenic walks and nature trails such as Lane's Island Nature Conservancy and Armbrust Hill Park (within 1/2 mile). The fresh water quarries (2 miles) are a refreshing option for swimmers. Pack light and enjoy the luxury of unspoiled beauty and pure rest and relaxation.

Located just at the edge of town, Payne Homestead is only a 1/2 mile from the ferry terminal and convenient to the restaurants, shops and library. This Bed and Breakfast has several common areas, including a play room with an extensive Walt Disney video collection, as well as several reading nooks and books available for on site enjoyment.

Our guests are treated to a bountiful breakfast served family style at 8:00 a.m. daily. You are invited to enjoy our home's common areas and gardens for reading and relaxing.
