Location: Camden, Mid-Coast & Islands, Maine, USA

Accommodations:  Farmhouse, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath (Sleeps 4)

We have a saying here in Maine - "If you are lucky enough to live in Maine, then you are lucky enough!" Maine's midcoast brings that saying to mind again and again with its rolling hills, picturesque rocky shores, and quaint harbor towns and we love to share that with our visitors.

Our old New England farmhouse, built in the 1890's, provides its visitors with the perfect location to experience all that the Midcoast has to offer. Stroll the shared back gardens at the farmhouse or relax with a cup of tea and a good book while gazing over beautiful Penobscot Bay. Take a walk one half mile to Lincolnville Beach where you'll find 4 restaurants, a variety of shops, the Islesboro Ferry terminal, and the only stretch of beach found along US Highway 1 in Maine. Hop in your car and drive 5 miles south into Camden, believed by many to be one of the prettiest of Maine's many harbor towns, or drive 12 miles north to Belfast to visit many of the shops, art galleries, and restaurants located in these beautiful New England towns. We are located only 3 miles from the entrance to Camden Hills State Park where you can drive to the top of Mt. Battie or put on your hiking boots for an invigorating walk through the hills overlooking the bay. The possibilities are endless. The Midcoast is home to the award-winning North Atlantic Blues Festival held in Rockland in mid-July, and the world famous Maine Lobster Festival held at the beginning of August. And if you would like to visit the Midcoast in the winter, then you can't miss the National Toboggan race at the Camden Snow Bowl ski resort held every February. Experience many of Maine's fairs, festivals, and other fun activities, each only a short car ride away.

The farmhouse rental unit has two second story bedrooms, a cozy livingroom, dine-in kitchen, full bathroom, and small library. We hope to be your home away from home while you explore Vacationland. Contact us if you would like more information or would like to see more interior pictures.

We look forward to hearing from you to plan your summer visit or just for a weekend getaway.

  Macabe ,
  • We stayed through Christmas and New Year's, and had a most comforting and tranquil time. Despite the snow and cold, there are some wonderful walks and hikes in the near vicinity. Even from the front door down to the beach or through the woods can make for a nice stroll. The nearby towns in the winter are uneventful, but enough remains open to avoid cabin fever, and many people are still out and about and quite friendly. The house itself is most comfortable, cozy, and inviting. There is plenty of room to work in the library and kitchen, or to read or relax in the living room. Lovely views of the ocean and sunrise over the outlying islands from the second floor; serene woodscape from the backyard. Quite pleasantly, everything one needs is available (or can be provided by the hosts) from washer and dryer to kitchen knives. Highly recommended!

  • I can not thank you enough, Steve and Gretchen. You have a wonderful family and many thanks for allowing me to be a part of it for my stay. Your farmhouse is amazing and the close proximity to everything I was looking for was a plus. My first visit to Maine will not be my last. I loved the view from Mt. Battie, the schooner ride in Camden, the visit to the Portland Lighthouse and the many selections of seafood restaurants. I look forward to seeing you again in the future. I only wish the ocean was warmer but that is only a small sacrifice to make for such a wonderfulk time. Thank you again.

  • We stayed at the farmhouse while renovations were still going on -- you can't beat the location. It is within walking distance of lovely Lincolnville Beach and early a.m. walkers can stop in right across from the beach for coffee and yummy breakfast sandwiches at the beach store -- lovely shops right there too -- and Camden Harbor, five min. away is a lovely place to relax. If you are going to relax though, you can do that every season, except winter, right there in the beautiful gardens right outside your door. The house is rustic and charming and perfect for a family or two couples to share. We loved our time there. Even though it was in November and a bit chilly to sit outside, we enjoyed exploring the area -- so much to see and do there. Lorraine & George (any questions, feel free to email us)
