Three generation family vacation

We had a wonderful week staying at the house. The house, yard and beach was perfect for our family. The neighbors and the area are so welcoming and we enjoyed the area. There are so many things to do in the area or you can just relax. We would come back again.

Zen Perfection

The house is better than described. Nothing is llacking, sparkling clean. This house has very typical late 19th century character and rambles, creating great spaces for quiet times. A great family place. This is our second 2 week stay for a reason - the site and house are ideal for our needs. The air, light and views are inspirational for my wife's painting. Her easel never left the propertty. I write and the words just flowed, Grandchildren retired to various nooks in the house when it rained or played on the beach or weekly mown grass. Daughter and son in law decompressed. We all left anticipating next year.

We had a great time.

Four families totaling 13 people stayed here. We had a great time despite bad weather. The host was flexible with us having packages of food and kayak rentals delivered shortly before our arrival, which was appreciated. She responded to most inquiries within 24 hours even though she was having a family medical situation. Maids were finishing up as we arrived and the home was clean. The location is nice and remote but you can get to a lot of hikes, lobster boat tours, and bar harbor in about 1 hour as a day trip. The pictures were a pretty accurate representation. We brought a large hammock and badminton net with us and the property grounds were perfectly sized to accommodate all of it and let us spread out. Beach was a 1 minute walk and gorgeous views. There were a few minor things that have since been corrected in the listing (e.g. no fire pit) or were our own fault for not noticing (e.g. only one bathroom has a shower, the other is only a bathtub). But one thing that is worth mentioning: One of the large upstairs bedrooms with 3 beds can only be accessed by passing through a bedroom on either side of it. This caused logistical problems with our room planning (especially for families with toddlers) and made our own room with an attached stairwell a thoroughfare for older children moving from floor to floor. We would have liked to know this before we booked. But it all worked out and we made great memories for a reasonable price. Thanks to Paula for a great week.

Wonderful spot!

We absolutely loved our stay here. If you want to avoid crowds and have a beautiful view in a quaint house then this is the place for you! The kitchen had neat old fashioned metal cabinets and was the best stocked kitchen I have ever seen. Staying in the house is like going back in time but, at the same time, the floor to ceiling windows give it a light, bright feeling.We drove over 20 hrs and it was worth it! We plan to come again in the future. Paula is a delightful host!

About the host

Hosted by Paula Aschettino

We purchased this beautiful home in Maine after seeing the views and loving older new England style homes. Capt. Proctor, the former owner, was a Navy man and merchant marine and owned this home for many years with his wife Daisy. Capt. Proctor was well known in the area and many of his belongings and writings are located in the Gates House on Rt 92 Machiasport. We have 5 acres of land and 300 ft of oceanfront.
I, Paula, grew up in Wayland MA and have always enjoyed oceanfront property with our family owning a home in Eastham MA on Cape Cod Bay. Some of my relatives came from Etna Maine and being a Marston, I feel there is a connection to this area.
In our back yard at the Capt. House is a grave of a 10 yr. old girl, Emma Ida Kinghorn, who passed from this life in the 1800's.
We deeply care for the wonderful people an this peninsula and the past inhabitants.
Michael is from Rochester NY, a sales engineer and now retired. He has a great love of the sea and interest in sailing and building small boats.
I am a former Registered Nurse, Real Estate Broker, and artist. We are happy to share our home with others and know they too appreciate the beauty of nature, non commercialism of this special area and respect to both animal and neighbor.
