The Inn at Diamond Cove is rich in history and architectural integrity. Built 1891–1907, Fort McKinley was once used to defend Portland Harbor during the Spanish-American War. The Inn opened in 2015, following a careful restoration of the historic buildings that preserved its authentic details and original character while transforming the historic barracks into a holiday destination.
The Inn is on Great Diamond Island in Casco Bay. Just a 30-minute ferry ride from Portland’s Old Port district, the Inn is the centerpiece of Diamond Cove, a small private community of beautiful residences. The Inn offers 42 deluxe island condominiums with balconies; wide wooden porches; a swimming pool; cabana bar; and casual fine dining at Diamonds Edge, its waterfront restaurant overlooking Casco Bay. Guests enjoy nearby walking trails and historic ruins, secluded beaches, tennis, biking, boating and simply enjoying the peace and tranquility of Maine island living.
