Come to relax and unwind at our peaceful escape on the coast of Maine! We are located on 5 private acres of land in the rural town of Brooksville close to some of the best areas to explore on the mid-coast East Penobscot Bay. Just a short drive away, Blue Hill, Stonington and Castine, all have great restaurants, shopping, and local pottery and antique shops. Blue Hill has a library for books, DVDs and high-speed Internet connection. Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park are about one hour’s drive. Nearby Holbrook Island Sanctuary is great for local hiking right near the ocean. The Isle au Haut ferry leaves from the working fishing town of Stonington daily during the summer months. Fresh locally caught lobster can be easily purchased from the docks at the Stonington Co-op. We are an easy drive from The Haystack School of Crafts and the Wooden Boat School. The public ocean beach, at the causeway between Little Deer Isle and Big Deer Isle, is just three miles away.

We completed our house in the spring of 2008. Originally designed by us for our own year round private use Orchard House has a bright airy feeling with lots of natural light so desired during summer months and yet with radiant heat throughout and almost airtight insulation it maintains a comfortable coziness for fall and winter.

The ground floor has natural slate and tile flooring, with a large entryway, two bedrooms (queen with pullout futon and twin), a full bath with tub and shower and a laundry room. The 2nd floor has bamboo flooring throughout and cathedral ceilings with huge south facing windows allowing for incredible light both in the bedroom (king) and the great room, which houses a full kitchen and living room. There’s also a smaller bedroom (twin) and full bath with an incredible walk-in natural slate shower with waterfall shower head. The eat-in kitchen is a cooks dream, ample counter space with butcher block island, complete with Bosch gas stove and convection oven (Cooking magazines provided!) With a local farmers market in Blue Hill fresh ingredients are close at hand.

The 12’x34’ deck off the great room almost doubles the summer living space and is a great place to enjoy meals outside. It overlooks a primarily pine and oak wooded area and boasts a private outside cedar walled shower. It’s just a short walk down through the woods to the waters edge of Walkers Pond. A great place for that morning cup of coffee, where it’s possible to launch your kayak over the rocky edge.

  • This house was an awesome place to stay with my family! It is more beautiful that the pictures suggest and Sean and Sally are great people to rent from. They provided everything we could possibly need to make our vacation perfect. It is certainly a place we would stay again. - The Donsons

  • What a treasure! The house was better than what was described in the pictures. Sally and Sean have a beautiful rental home! It was a one of the most pleasant vacations that I have ever experienced. For starters, the directions were perfect. We entered the home and Sally left a manual loaded with suggestions of places to visit, restaurants, etc. The kitchen was so lovely, that we ended up eating in every night. The deck was a wonderful place to relax at night and listen to the loons and spot shooting stars. Hopefully I can stay two weeks next year. (I wanted to keep this place a secret, but it's only right to let others know)

  • Nice house, very comfortable. We had a great time and it is easy to get to a lot of wonderful locations. Nice yard we brought badminton! Walker Pond is great for the kids. We would highly recommend and will come back on our next trip to Maine! The big kitchen island was great.
