Built in 1874 for Galen Clapp Moses, the house became an instant celebrity in Bath when Jim and Larry purchased it in 1994 to create a bed & breakfast. Departing from traditional local house colors, this Italianate structure was draped in the most vivid colors of plum, pink and teal, thus its nickname, "The Pink House". There are surprises throughout the house, from the elegant gardens and rooms filled with tasteful antiques to the full theatre located on the third floor  (and once used to entertain officers from the nearby Naval Air Station during World War II). The house contains a number of spirits, other than the sherry served at 5:00pm. Our ghosts, assuredly friendly, are likely to make their presence felt on a frequent basis. Early evening finds guests relaxing on the porches which surround the house or taking a leisurely stroll along the waterfront.

A full breakfast is served each morning and varies according to the cook's mood. While juices, fresh brewed coffee and a variety of muffins are available for early risers and late sleepers, the full breakfast at 8:00am adds such entrees as walnut pancakes with orange sauce, mushroom or artichoke quiche, sour cream and chive omelets, baked french toast, cinnamon waffles with Maine maple syrup. All entrees accompanied by honey/mustard sausages, turkey bacon, or sundried tomato and basil sausage.

Words from our guests:

From the moment we walked through the threshold of this gorgeous Victorian home, my husband and I were blown away. The house is beautifully appointed in period antiques with touches of whimsy and incredible architectural details. Our hosts, Jim and Larry were incredibly gracious, and worked hard at every moment to make sure we had everything we needed. Our room, appropriately named The Victorian, was absolutely beautiful. It was tastefully decorated, the bed was very comfortable and our room, as well as the rest of the house, was immaculately clean. Our breakfast each morning was served on beautiful antique dinnerware, and the food was nothing short of scrumptious. My husband and I are definitely making plans to go back and would recommend this beautiful B&B to anyone looking to escape from the hustle and bustle. It is the perfect place to relax, unwind and unplug from the world while enjoying the splendor of a gorgeous Victorian home. We would rate it an 11 out of 10! (July, 2010

Dear Jim and Larry, I do think you guys have an exceptional gift for making people feel at home in your extraordinary house and want to confirm my appreciation for your attentions. Not since I was ten has anyone turned down my bed; not since I was last in a hospital have I been left a carafe of water. Only at parties have I been served wine and fine nuts in a garden and not, again since I was a child have I rocked on a front porch. I have had breakfasts such as yours in New Orleans and the Cotswolds but never three in a row of such variety of fruit and egg concoctions. …. I feel compelled to say that our stay with you was a highlight of our Maine experience. Sincerely yours, Annette Hernson (Newark, Delaware, July, 2005)

The Galen Moses House is a beautiful victorian home that is the site of a great bed and breakfast. We were greeted by our hosts and made to feel at home. Our room was funished in period decor and was immacculate. We recieved great tips about local dining , and shopping. After a comfortable nights sleep we enjoyed a delicious breakfast . We will be sure to return to this unique B&B.  Ruth Fatscher, February, 2010

Dear Jim and Larry, Kent and I thank you for welcoming us so warmly into your home. This was my first experience in a bed & breakfast and I'm certain there will never be one as memorable and lovely as this one. The Victorian Room is so romantically decorated. So many of your beautiful touches reminded me of my mother's things. The breakfasts were divine. I felt so spoiled by your service to us, Jim, and of course by your talent in the kitchen…Chris and Kent Kanoy (Canboro, North Carolina, August, 2006)

Dear Jim and Larry, Thank you so much for being such an important party to my family's celebration. We all just loved our stay with you. Good food, wonderful morning entertainment…and a "fab" dog for a family who goes nuts for animals. The house is wonderful…Bath is a delightful town…. Carol Stopps (Richmond, Virginia, May, 2006)

Just wanted to say thank you so much.  We really enjoyed our stay.  I don’t think we have ever stayed in such a beautiful home.  You have really put a lot of work into it and it shows.  Wow. Jim: thanks for the dinner suggestion.  It turned out to be the best place to eat out of all the ones we stopped at.  And your breakfast was awesome.  Just wish we had more time to stay.  So much to take in and so little time.  Once again thanks to both of you for making this a really enjoyable vacation.

What a wonderful place to stay. Steeped in history, cordiality and just plain fun. We have been staying at the Moses House for many years, going back to mid to early 1990s. Mid coast Maine, and the Bath area in particular have so much to offer. If we had not stayed at Galen Moses the first time, mid winter in Maine, we possibly would have never returned to the area. The hosts, Jim and Larry made the stay so enjoyable and we felt so at home, that we stayed a number of nights rather than the one we had planned. Bath Maine, and the Galen Moses House, have sort of become our second home and we will always look forward to returning. Peter and Grace Gossel, New Jersey February, 2010

Staying at the wonderful Galen Moses House and meeting and visiting with you both was a highlight of the trip.  Thanks for offering us such classy shelter and yummy vittles.

Just wanted to say thank you for the warm hospitality and for providing such a great place to drop our heads.  Such a nice stay and the muffins on the road trip home were just what the doctor ordered.
