About the host
Hosted by Carin
This is our family camp and is my absolute favorite place to spend time with family and friends. My mother wanted the camp as a place for her grandchildren to enjoy, before her unexpected passing. It will now remain in our family for generations. Our son started college this year and we find ourselves having to rent the camp for a few weeks every year to help pay for his school.
Why they chose this property
It is absolutely peaceful. We are 7 miles from the campground and boat launch so it is quiet. There is a jumping rock less than a mile away. The grass is level all the way to the water which is clean and warm (in the summer). The road is plowed all winter so it is accessible all year. It is truly my escape from reality and into a quiet and lovely space. There are Bald Eagles that nest in tree on the island right off the property and Loons in the lake. There are also no mosquitoes which is delightful and it is close to the ocean.
What makes this property unique
Our camp is close to Acadia (50 min), close to Blue Hill (12 min) with great hiking, an amazing cheese shop, a lovely health food store, and a grocery store as well as some great restaurants. It is a wonderful place to relax and watch the early sunrise or Eagles and listen to Loons.
