| The history of the Inn dates back to the early 1920s when the present site was known as "Anderson's Cafe and Service Station." At that time, the pumphouse and spring water system was installed and Mrs. Anderson gained local recognition for her fresh berry pies and homemade clam chowder. After the Andersons retired, the little coffee shop stood vacant for a number of years.The present-day Inn was built in 1989 by screenwriter and producer, Rita Lakin. Award-winning local architect Ray Wolf designed the Inn to be perfectly suited for guests: every room is built with extra-thick walls and sound proofing. Each room is uniquely different to meet the desires of all who wish to stay here: some have lofts, some have balconies, some have alcoves, and all of them are charming! Rita sold the Inn in 2003 to Guia and Gary Hiegert, her dear friends. And Rita has just embarked on a new career: mystery author! We are excited to announce that in addition to Getting Old is Murder, Lakin's first book, we will soon also offer her second: Getting Old is the Best Revenge available at the Inn in the summer of 2006.

| Guia and Gary are the new owners of The Lost Whale Inn | |
 |
They met when they worked together for charitable groups. Gary is a retired firefighter and taught life safety (he still does, when he isn't cooking or greeting guests!). Guia works with charitable groups and teaches fund raising and strategic planning (and she still does when she isn't making beds or greeting guests!) |
| Gary's life long dream has been to own an inn so, when our dear friend put her inn up for sale, Gary made an offer. Then he offered marriage to Guia (who accepted), and now the two live at the Inn year round .... with their two dogs, Moby & Andy, and their cats (all of whom live outside). | |
