The Old House and the Sea

The Clingstone House

Henry Wood, the owner, runs the house like a camp: all skilled workers welcome. The Jamestown Boatyard hauls the family's boats and floating dock and stores them each winter in return for a week's use of the house in the summer.

There are 10 bedrooms at Clingstone, all with indecently beautiful views.

The dining room table seats 14. Refinishing the chairs is a task on the list for a future work weekend.


I would love to visit this place and live there and volunteer my time into keeping this house from sinking. It has such wonderful history to it and an amazing story. I only wish I could live in a place such as this, with all of my friends. Read the story here.
