Yes, there was a hotel on the island. My great great great great great uncle Solomon Lovejoy and his wife Lizzie Wiggin Lovejoy owned that hotel until the early 1900's when they sold it. I think it burned down in 1934.

If anyone has any pictures of the old hotel circa the 1900's I would love a copy!

I finally remembered to get some pictures out of my mother's house.

Here's the cottage, this picture was probably taken sometime in the early 70's, the pic has faded quite a bit, IRL the cottage was a lot more green. It looks a little brown here...

Here I am on my favorite rock

And this was my all time favorite place, I think I was about 2 years old here.

I found another cute one of my very first summer there, I was only 5 months old!

This is what the place looks like now. It's a great place with a large lot.

My son and I took a walk from our place on the south end of Bear to the mail dock via island trails today. On our way using the Bear Island trail map we took notice of quite a few land marks. One of particular interest was the "Mystery Stone" does anyone know the significance of this stone? It is a large flat stone along the trail just south of the mail dock; it has the initials "JP EI 1873 AD" scribed in it.
