This charming summer house was featured in the April issue of House Beautiful, but it’s Americana style had me instantly looking forward to the Fourth of July! It is hot, humid, and rainy in South Florida, and I find myself fantasizing about a little getaway to someplace cool…
Wouldn’t you just love to spend July 4th at this onetime hotel that designers John Knott and John Fondas transformed into their Maine summer house? Located on the remote Little Cranberry Island where the only year-round residents are lobstermen, this summer home is off the beaten path and only accessible by boat. There is one little store, and no cell-phone signal. It is truly a place to escape!

Your post comes at a perfect time for me Andrea, as I just got the most beautiful new aqua and white porthault sheets. Now I am going to redecorate for summer around them. Love the bedrooms featured.

Would love to live on a remote island for part of the year, and in the summer it sounds heavenly.
Happy 4TH of July to YOU,

A remote island sounds like paradise. What a perfect getaway home! I love the red and blue toile in the master bedroom…I have been toying with the idea of doing blue and red toile in my own MBR. All of the rooms are just beautiful…so fresh and relaxed.
So, so charming! What a perfect feature for the 4th!
Very Federalist * so appropriate!
We just got back from Maine! This house is hands-down one of my favorites–I love everything about it. So glad to see it on The Glam Pad!
