In 1879, when Captain Elliot Gamage built his Mansard-roofed Second Empire house, South Bristol, Maine was a quiet, coastal village. He picked a location where he could watch over his father's boat building operations and his own boats coming and going through the Gut - the narrow passage and harbor between the Damariscotta River and John's Bay.
South Bristol has not changed much in 119 years. Captain Gamage's home, Anodyne House, is available to rent by the week. Come and enjoy the quiet life of South Bristol and mid-coast Maine. Anodyne House, located 150 feet from the shore, has nine rooms, four bedrooms, sleeps seven, one-and-one-half baths, a large porch with screened pavilion, Victorian decor, central heat, private yard with wonderful flower gardens, all the amenities.
We can now offer the additional rental of our "East Wing". This room, with its summer cottage decor, is attached to the main house. It has a private bath, fireplace and home theater with digital projector, DVD and wall screen. It can be either a family room or bedroom - your call.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1996
Betsy and I live year round in South Bristol, summering in our family cottage on the shore and wintering in Anodyne House. Landscape and vegetable gardening, boating and maintaining Anodyne House are our pastimes.
Why the Owner Chose South Bristol
Anodyne House is our winter residence. We live in South Bristol because it is a quiet, friendly town that typifies the coast of Maine. Our summer guests have found the same to be true for them.
